Real Minishow Ep. 95 - Sorry We're Late
Midnight Mass Episode 5 Review | Real Horrorshow Podcast What happens when a man who has spent his life running from his demons finally finds something worth standing up for? In this episode of Real Horrorshow Podcast, we're diving into Episode 5 of Mike Flanagan's Midnight Mass, “Book V: Gospel”—and things on Crockett Island are about to get even darker. As Riley Flynn struggles to come to terms with what happened to him, Erin Greene is left searching for answers. Meanwhile, Monsignor Pruitt's sermons grow increasingly militant, and the island's residents continue experiencing what appear to be miraculous improvements in their health. But behind these apparent blessings lies a horrifying secret involving the Angel, the Eucharist, and a congregation that may be following its shepherd straight into damnation. We break down Riley's revelations to Erin, the truth about Monsignor Pruitt, the growing influence of religious fanaticism, and one of the most devastating sequences in the entire series. Is Riley finally free of his past, or has he simply found a new way to confront it? What happens when religious devotion becomes blind obedience? And how does Mike Flanagan turn a story about vampires into something so painfully human? Join us for our Midnight Mass Episode 5 review as we explore the supernatural horrors—and the very real human ones—taking over Crockett Island.

Gross and Probably a Little Sticky - Keeper 2025 Review
Keeper (2025) Review | Real Horrorshow Podcast New week, new nightmare. This week on Real Horrorshow Podcast, we're heading into the woods with Osgood Perkins' Keeper (2025)—a strange, surreal folk-horror story starring Tatiana Maslany and Rossif Sutherland. A romantic anniversary getaway at a secluded cabin takes a very strange turn as Liz discovers that the beautiful house, its history, and the people surrounding it aren't quite what they seem. Perkins trades the splatter and dark comedy of The Monkey for something more whimsical, eerie, dreamlike, and deeply unsettling. We dig into Keeper's characters, performances, writing, direction, visual style, folk-horror influences, and that very specific Osgood Perkins brand of beautifully weird horror. And because it's been a rough month for fans of horror and pop culture, we're also taking some time to remember the enormous cultural impact of Hayden Panettiere, Tim Curry, and Dolly Parton and the very different ways their work has shaped the worlds of horror, film, television, and music. Is Keeper a fairy tale, a nightmare, a relationship horror story—or all three? And what exactly makes something feel whimsical and horrifying at the same time? 🎧 Listen to the latest episode of Real Horrorshow Podcast wherever you get your podcasts.

Real Minishow Ep. 94 - A Little Muddy
Midnight Mass Episode 4 Review | Real Horrorshow Podcast What happens when a miracle begins to look more like a curse? In this week’s minishow, Real Horrorshow Podcast dives into Episode 4 of Midnight Mass, where Doctor Sarah Gunning discovers that Erin’s fetus has vanished without explanation—and that there is no evidence she was ever pregnant. As Erin travels to the mainland for a second opinion, Paul’s resurrection takes a horrifying turn. After discovering that sunlight burns him, Bev realizes that Paul is actually Monsignor Pruitt, returned in a younger body. Unable to appear publicly during the day, Paul secretly administers the Eucharist to Sarah’s elderly mother, Mildred, who recognizes him despite her dementia. But the mystery deepens when Joe visits Paul and discovers him drinking blood from the Angel, which Paul has been mixing with sacramental wine and distributing to the congregation. Overcome by bloodlust, Paul kills Joe and drinks his blood. The next morning, Bev, Mayor Scarborough, and Sturge find the body—but Bev conceals the truth, convinced that Paul’s resurrection signals the Second Coming of Christ. Meanwhile, during an AA meeting, Paul lies to Riley about Joe’s whereabouts. Knowing that Joe’s sister is dead, Riley returns to confront Paul and discovers the Angel filling a decanter with its blood—before the creature attacks him. We break down the episode’s major revelations, including the disappearance of Erin’s pregnancy, Paul’s transformation, the Angel’s blood, Bev’s growing fanaticism, and Riley’s discovery of the truth.

Only Place on Earth - The Monkey 2025 Review
The Monkey (2025) Review | Real Horrorshow Podcast What happens when a creepy toy monkey starts beating its drum—and people start dying? In this episode of Real Horrorshow Podcast, we take a deep dive into The Monkey (2025), Osgood Perkins’ darkly funny supernatural horror film based on the short story by Stephen King. Starring Theo James, Tatiana Maslany, Christian Convery, Colin O'Brien, Rohan Campbell, Sarah Levy, Adam Scott, and Elijah Wood, The Monkey follows twin brothers whose lives are haunted by a cursed toy monkey capable of triggering seemingly random and horrific deaths. We break down the movie from every angle, including the characters and performances, story and writing, directing, cinematography, production design, effects, and overall production. Then we go beyond the movie itself to talk about the real horrors hiding underneath the comedy and carnage—the themes and ideas that make The Monkey more than just another horror movie about a creepy toy. Is The Monkey a worthy Stephen King adaptation? Does Osgood Perkins successfully balance horror and dark comedy? And what does the movie have to say about the things that actually scare us?

Rare Blumhouse Win - Real Minishow Ep 93
This week on Real Horrorshow, we're witnessing miracles...or something much darker. We dive into Midnight Mass Episode 3 as Crockett Island is swept up in a wave of religious fervor after Leeza's seemingly miraculous recovery. Forgiveness, faith, and fanaticism collide as Father Paul's shocking secret is finally revealed: he's actually a rejuvenated Monsignor Pruitt, transformed after a terrifying encounter with a mysterious winged creature he believes to be an angel. Is this divine intervention—or the beginning of something unspeakable? We unpack one of the series' biggest twists, discuss Mike Flanagan's masterful use of religious symbolism, and explore how easily hope can become dangerous when people desperately want to believe. Plus, we share our thoughts on the breakout horror hit Obsession and whether it lives up to the growing buzz. If you love psychological horror, vampire lore, and stories where faith and fear become impossible to separate, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

Speaking of Artificial Intelligence... (Lisa Frankenstein Review)
This week we’re digging up Lisa Frankenstein--the neon-soaked, darkly funny love story you didn’t know you needed. Set in the 1980s, the film follows misunderstood teen Lisa as she forms an unexpected connection with a reanimated Victorian-era corpse (yes, really). What starts as a strange friendship quickly spirals into something far more chaotic--and murderous. Equal parts coming-of-age, horror, and offbeat romance, this one is as weird as it is wildly entertaining. We break down the film’s tone, performances, and why Diablo Cody and Zelda Williams make such a perfect pairing for this genre-bending story.

Real Minishow Ep. 91 - Mike Flanagan's Masterpiece?
We’re back with another episode in our Mike Flanagan Rewind series, and this week we’re diving deep into Midnight Mass—the haunting, slow-burn horror story that blends faith, grief, and something far more sinister. After serving four years in prison for a drunk driving accident that killed a young woman, Riley Flynn returns to Crockett Island—a struggling, isolated fishing community still reeling from an environmental disaster. Now disconnected from his faith, Riley finds himself at odds with the deeply religious townspeople, including his parents, his younger brother, and his former love, Erin Greene. Things begin to shift with the arrival of the mysterious and charismatic Father Paul Hill, a young priest filling in for the aging Monsignor Pruitt. As miracles seem to occur and devotion intensifies, unsettling events unfold across the island—strange sightings in the night, a growing sense of unease, and a horrifying discovery that signals something is deeply wrong beneath the surface. In this episode, we break down the premiere, explore the show’s themes of religion, redemption, and fanaticism, and discuss why Mike Flanagan remains one of the most compelling voices in modern horror storytelling. Plus: a very serious debate—pancakes vs. waffles—and a moment of appreciation for the kitties of Crockett Island, who absolutely deserved better. 🐾 Guest Find Us Online - Website: www.realhorrorshowpodcast.com - Twitter: www.twitter.com/Horrorshowpod - Support: www.realhorrorshow.com/support/ - Submit: www.realhorrorshow.com/submission-guidelines/ Good Things to Support Quileute Move to Higher Ground Red Canary Song List of BLM Affiliated Charities Abortion Funds in Every State Shout Your Abortion Abortion and Miscarriage Support Support Families in Palestine Credits - Host: Samantha Oty.

Like a lot going on...at once - Until Dawn 2025 Review
We’re finally back! This week, we’re diving into a very belated review of the wildly divisive 2025 horror film Until Dawn. Based on the hit 2015 PlayStation game, Until Dawn expands the original story into a new standalone nightmare. A group of friends find themselves trapped in a remote location with a brutal twist: every time they die, the night resets—with a new threat waiting for them. The only way out? Survive until morning. We break down what works, what really doesn’t, and whether this adaptation lives up to the game’s legacy. Plus, we talk Oscars…because we recorded this before the ceremony—so Sam gets to exist in blissful ignorance, fully convinced Sinners is about to sweep every category. 🔍 Subscribe and listen now for your fix of horror and more!

Just Girly Things - Real Minishow Ep. 90
It’s time we bid farewell to the Haunting of Bly Manor in our journey through the Mike Flanagan library. As Viola drags Dani by the throat, Flora intervenes—reminding the Lady in the Lake of her long-lost daughter, Isabel. Viola takes Flora to the lake to drown her, but Dani sacrifices herself, inviting Viola’s spirit to inhabit her body and freeing the trapped souls of Bly Manor. In the aftermath, Henry returns to raise the children, while Owen and Jamie discover Hannah’s body in the well. Dani and Jamie leave for America to build a life together, but nine years later Viola’s presence begins to surface. During a reunion in France, Owen reveals that Flora and Miles remember nothing of Bly Manor—only the happy parts of childhood. When Dani wakes with her hand around Jamie’s throat, she realizes Viola’s hold is growing stronger. To protect the woman she loves, Dani returns to Bly Manor and takes her place in the lake forever. The storyteller—revealed to be an older Jamie—finishes the tale at Flora’s wedding reception, surrounded by the people who survived. Later that night, Jamie leaves the door open, still hoping Dani might return… and as she sleeps, a familiar hand rests gently on her shoulder. 🔍 Subscribe and listen now for your fix of horror and more!

The Ass Gallows (The Gallows 2015 Review)
This week on Real Horrorshow, we’re heading back to high school theatre with a review of The Gallows (2015), a found-footage supernatural horror film from Blumhouse. Set twenty years after a fatal onstage accident during a small-town school play, the film follows a group of students who attempt to resurrect the cursed production in a misguided act of remembrance—with terrifying consequences. Written and directed by Chris Lofing and Travis Cluff and starring Reese Mishler, Pfeifer Brown, Ryan Shoos, and Cassidy Gifford, The Gallows taps into the uniquely nerve-wracking world of school auditoriums, stage lights, and unfinished business. Does it earn its scares, or should some shows stay closed forever? Let’s break it down. 🔍 Subscribe and listen now for your fix of horror and more!

We can tell you're a filmmaker, bro (Butterfly Kisses 2018 Review)
December was a rough month off-mic, fighting illness and holiday chaos, but we’re back now to finally ask: What if the found footage was real…and the scariest thing wasn’t the monster, but the filmmaker? This week, we’re digging into Butterfly Kisses (2018), Erik Kristopher Myers’ razor-sharp found footage deconstruction that asks a deeply uncomfortable question: how far will an artist go to be believed? The film follows Gavin York, a documentarian who stumbles upon a box of tapes left behind by two film students investigating an urban legend known as Peeping Tom. What starts as a forgotten student project quickly spirals into obsession, as Gavin sets out to “prove” the footage is authentic—dragging his own film crew (and his sanity) down with him. Part found footage, part academic critique, Butterfly Kisses plays in the same sandbox as The Blair Witch Project, Paranormal Activity, and The Last Exorcism, then calmly turns to the camera and asks whether we actually want these stories to be true. It’s less about jump scares and more about ego, credibility, and the uniquely modern horror of needing proof at any cost. Found footage skeptics welcome. Film nerds encouraged. Peeping Tom is watching either way. We also talk about hockey, Primate, and Strange Harvest. We’re girls of simple taste. 🔍 Subscribe and listen now for your fix of horror and more!

Real Minishow Ep. 87 - Were they still planning to be together?
This week, we continue our Mike Flanagan Rewind series with Episode 7 of The Haunting of Bly Manor. In this episode, we uncover the dark truth behind Peter and Rebecca’s tragic fate at Bly Manor. Through flashbacks, Peter learns the rules of being a ghost: he can briefly possess the living—and, with an invitation, take over a body permanently. But every spirit trapped on the grounds risks losing their face, their memories, and ultimately their identity. Believing they can be together forever, Peter convinces Rebecca to invite him in. Instead of reuniting, he uses her body to walk into the lake, drowning her and binding her to Bly as a ghost. Heartbroken and furious, Rebecca refuses to join his plan to possess the children—Miles and Flora,but Peter continues manipulating events to get what he wants. In the present day, Peter and Rebecca lure Dani to the attic as their scheme reaches its breaking point. The children appear to surrender their bodies to the ghosts, and when Hannah intervenes, Peter (speaking through Miles) forces her to confront her own death. But Flora reveals the truth: she and Rebecca have been pretending, and Rebecca has not taken her over. As Dani attempts a desperate escape with Flora, they are suddenly confronted by Bly Manor’s most fearsome spirit—the Lady in the Lake.

Local Man Hates Woman He Willingly Married - The Shining Review
We’re back this week with a belated Halloween special—and we’re finally tackling The Shining! Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 classic traps us in the snowbound Overlook Hotel, where Jack Torrance’s plans to write and reconnect with his family spiral into madness. We’ll talk about the film’s haunting imagery, its lasting influence on horror, and—of course—Jack’s palpable resentment for the woman he willingly married. Plus, we dig into Stephen King’s well-documented hatred for Kubrick’s adaptation and why the author felt the film missed the heart of his story. Grab your typewriter, your tricycle, and your room key—it’s time to shine. 🔍 Subscribe and listen now for your fix of horror and more!

After a long month of life getting in the way, we’re finally back—and just in time for spooky season! This week, we’re diving into Emma Tammi’s 2018 supernatural western horror film, The Wind—a haunting story of isolation, paranoia, and the terrors that creep across the open prairie. We also chat about American Monster: Ed Gein, The Black Phone 2, and make an impulsive (but very on-brand) decision to finally cover The Shining in honor of Halloween. Because honestly? We deserve a little something special. 🎃 🔍 Subscribe and listen now for your fix of horror and more!

Real Minishow Ep. 86 - I Don't Like This Game
This week, we continue our Mike Flanagan Rewind series with Episode 6 of The Haunting of Bly Manor. Flashbacks reveal Henry’s affair with Charlotte, his brother Dominic’s wife—and the shocking truth that he is Flora’s biological father. When Dominic uncovers the betrayal, he cuts Henry out of their lives, claiming Flora as his own before he and Charlotte embark on a doomed trip to India. In the present, Henry drowns his guilt in alcohol, ignoring Dani’s desperate calls as Flora begins behaving strangely and drifting through unsettling dreamlike “time hops.” Within these visions, Flora encounters Charlotte, a faceless child, and the ghost of Rebecca, who manipulates her night after night. Dani finally sees the truth for herself when she comes face to face with Rebecca and Peter’s spirits—but before she can escape with Flora, Miles violently intervenes.

Ghost Time Loopies - Real Minishow Ep. 85
Past and present blur as Hannah drifts through memories—some real, some imagined. She recalls interviewing Owen for the cook position, the night of the bonfire when he invited her to Paris, and a haunting moment from Rebecca’s time at the manor when she caught Peter stealing. But the past holds more than memories. One night, Peter is killed by the mysterious Lady in the Lake and returns as a ghost, discovering he can possess young Miles. When Hannah sees Peter speaking through the boy, it’s already too late—Peter forces Miles to push her into the well, killing her. Unaware of her own death, Hannah continues to walk the manor grounds… until Dani’s arrival begins to unravel the truth. At the episode’s end, the bonfire scene plays again—but this time, we see it for what it truly is: Hannah’s final goodbye. 🔍 Subscribe and listen now for your fix of horror and more!
