Episodes

Time to tune into the Sci-Fi channel (this is pre Syfy) and watch a special about some kids that disappeared near Burkittsville, because Kati O'Hearn (@katiohearn) has the Brave Boys backpacking near Burkittsville's Blair Witch! And don't tell your mom that Kati watched The Blair Witch Project, otherwise she'll tell Kati's mom and she'll take away Kati's bedroom TV! Then we talk to Fisherman Bob Griffin (Sean Smith (@seansean213)) about his exciting star turn as man fishing with other man (eithe...

Somehow, Bill Murray returned. Conner McCabe (@conner_mccabe) has us watch Ghostbusters II. A movie that not even EdTV (the original influencer) could stomach. It would have to be quite the stomach -- to drink all that pink goo! Keep your eyes peeled during this movie and you may even spot a cameo from the character Winston from the first movie! Oh also Dr. Janosz Poha (Olivia Connolly (@olivia.h.connolly)) stops by to tell us about selling the goo to teens at a high school. Follow Tanner on Le...

It was always you, Listener! Tyler Schnupp (@schnupp69) shows up and tells us a scary ghost story that you are a bad friend if you don't believe. This guy had us watch Candyman and finally the Brave Boys are on the same page. We stinkin' love this thing. Then Candyman (David Donnella (@davidlasoul)) and Helen (Casey Rosario (@caseyrosariyo)) show up and we talk candy and pulling prostates. Follow Tanner on Letterboxd as tabner and find Matt by searching through who Tanner follows. Or follow the...

Can you solve the mystery of Sleepy Hollow? Can you remember which of these old men is which and what their job is? Mark Jacob (@markbymarkjacob) shares this spooky grey movie with us, and guess what? You may have heard (from the DVD cover) that Big Fish is Tim Burton's Masterpiece, but perhaps some of the people on this podcast think that it's actually Sleepy Hollow that should have that quote on the DVD quote! We don't quite solve this question but the Headless Horseman (Austin Williams (@wust...

Look out college students because there's a smug and irritating professor on the prowl! His name is Venkman and he's got a little thing for a haunted lady ;^). Blake Edwards (@blakeedwards23) has us watch Boy Ghostbusters, and it's almost as scary as the sound of a heater!!! Also Gozer the Gozerian (May Darmon (@maydarmon)) stops by to make fun of me and be mean to me. Also I think it lost its dog things. Follow Tanner on Letterboxd as tabner and find Matt by searching through who Tanner follow...

We're taking the bull by the pigtails in this one (the Trunchbull that is). Bogart Avila (@bogartavila) has us watch the great spooker-classic Matilda. We of course all agreed that Matilda uses telekinesis and her powers are science rather than magic. Of course director Danny DeVito (Jess Uhler (@jessicauhler)) also shows up and defends his movie from the critics. Follow Tanner on Letterboxd as tabner and find Matt by searching through who Tanner follows. Or follow the Scary Movie Sleepover Let...

Summer's here and we're watching Jaws with Scott Thiede (@swthiede). And no this podcast description isn't blank, you just have your nightstand's red LED lamp on and you've brought in everyone at the party to see your lamp and how it impacts what you can see. We're having a good time until this guy Bruce the shark (Erin Smith (@erinonainen)) shows up and he of course has just gotten out of shark prison (SeaWorld). Follow Tanner on Letterboxd as tabner and find Matt by searching through who Tann...

Bring out your Wife Guys because Dennis Curlett (@futuremedennisc) has us watch Paul W. S. Anderson's Event Horizon. Just kidding, Tanner's the only Wife Guy here... so why don't you pull your hand out of your mouth so you can click play on this episode. Also, Dr. Weirbeast (Ann Maddox (@mikiannmaddox)) shows up and parks the Event Horizon on my street and causes some traffic issues. Follow Tanner on Letterboxd as tabner and find Matt by searching through who Tanner follows. Or follow the Scary...

If you're on a plane you better pray your pilot's an atheist! Or that you're a Christian!! Because if not, then for reasons beyond god's control, you will have to live in a world ruled by the Antichrist Nicolae Carpathia. Rachel Marsh (@rachel_marsh) freaks my beans with the haunting film Left Behind. Then Dirk the intelligence source (Marcos González (@marcosjeangonzalez)) takes us to a territory Tanner is immediately uncomfortable in. Follow Tanner on Letterboxd as tabner and find Matt by sea...

The Brave Boys and Vida Robbins (@vidarobbins) discuss how the scariest part of Little Monsters is Howie Mandel's acting choices. Then uh-oh! Boy (Chris Howard (@chrishowabunga)) shows up and is not devious at all as he tries convincing everyone to join him in Monster World. Follow Tanner on Letterboxd as tabner and find Matt by searching through who Tanner follows. Or follow the Scary Movie Sleepover letterboxd account! Our editor/producer is Erin Kelly Smith.

This episode was originally found on a VHS tape in a Taco Bell parking lot. Zach Jobe (@zhjobe) has us watch The People Under the Stairs and we get so scared we have to go to a Best Buy, the safest place anyone can think of. Later we all learn a bit about the bible from a person from under the stairs (Katelyn Hempstead (@katelynhempstead)). This is actually a call-forward to the episode we recorded yesterday covering Left Behind: The Movie. Follow Tanner on letterboxd as tabner and find Matt by...

If you're afraid of Jason from the Friday the 13th movies, then have no fear, because he does not really appear in this movie. Nick Sahoyah (@sahoyah) scares us to our cores by making us watch Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning! Enjoy as Tanner falls silent and the two experts discuss all the Friday the 13th movies they like more than this one. Then bad boy biker Paulie (Sunny Zimmerman (@zimmer_down_)) shows up to hopefully reconnect with a lost love (and maybe they teach Tanner a thing or...

Calling all citizens of Roku City! Courtney Vineys (@courtenberry) has us watch Who Framed Roger Rabbit and we get dipped. Then Jessica Rabbit (Bri Rodebaugh (@brirodebaugh)) arrives to deliver a singing telegram to Matt from his girlfriend... You may notice that my WIFE has never sent me a singing telegram during a record. Curious... Also I forgot to mention on the episode that there's a part where Judge Doom has knife eyes like Blade from Puppet Master, so I'm putting that information here. F...

Alice doesn't live here anymore?! She never did! Her name is Zoe! The Brave Boys are taken by the hand and led to a world of a big sandwich and Boogie-Goo™ by our friend Nick Tiffany (@nicktiff). He is also brave now and no longer afraid of Don't Look Under the Bed. Which is good, because Zoe (Molly Kiernan (@mollybkiernan)) shows up to teach us all an important lesson about imaginary friends and what is considered "too early" for not believing in them. Then we all get a lesson from Matt on how ...

Listen this one with the lights on! Russell Carter (@dangerr_russ) introduces us to the haunting world of Darkness Falls. Are you afraid of the tooth fairy? Are you a baby, or have you lost all your baby teeth and now you can kiss and actually like it when you have to film a kissing scene?? Is Russell brave now (no baby teeth?)? His bravery is put to the test when the Tooth Fairy (Anja Boltz (@anjaboltz)) shows up and has what is, for my money, a much scarier mask than the one from the movie. F...

Matt gets sick and reconsiders being a horror fan at all, because Ivan Ngo (@milhousecrying) has us watch Puppet Master. Tanner sort of likes the scary little guys and it seems that maybe Erin will never quite feel the same way about him. Also Pinhead (Casey Rosario (@caseyrosariyo)) stops by to defend Charles "daddy" Band's honor. Follow Tanner on letterboxd as tabner and find Matt by searching through who Tanner follows. Our editor/producer is @erinkellysmith.

The Brave Boys were trying to have listeners call in with important questions. Unfortunately, Chucky (Mark Jacob (@markbymarkjacob)) and E.T. (Isabella Escalante (@isabellaesc)) show up and join as new hosts? We do finally get some callers, but none of you called in, it was a bunch of freaks who just wanted to talk to E.T. about wanting to have sex with Optimus Prime. Also we'd like to thank our friends Erin Smith (@erinkellysmith), Zach Olsen (@realzacholsen), Ann Maddox (@mikiannmaddox), Chris...

Can you unravel the mystery? Can you explain exactly what the rules of the ghosts in this movie are? Meredith Dillon (@meredithdillon) spooks us to our core by having us watch White Noise. Well, luckily Jonathan Rivers (John-Michael Sedor (@2names1man)) comes by and he should have all the answers. He's very chill and answers all our questions. Send a question to scarymoviesleepover@gmail.com Follow Tanner on letterboxd as tabner and find Matt by searching through who Tanner follows. Our edito...

Everybody's working for The Weekend... except the scary nurses who think he's so hot! The boys were very Brave and went to Halloween Horror Nights, and they actually did the scary Halloween maze and everything! Also, Tanner should get more Brave Credits because he was more scared than Matt. The famous Halloween Horror Nights clown, Hollywood Harry (Chris Howard (@chrishowabunga)) -- created in 2016 by master of horror and John Carpenter-burn recipient Eli Roth -- calls in. Then, Tanner's wife Er...

Grab your Jim Bean and potato chips because Charlie Mihelich (@mihelicopter) has us watch 28 Days Later! We keep blood out of our eyes, though, and even find time to confuse Ralph Fiennes with Christopher Eccleston. Then, everyone's favorite character from the movie 28 Days Later, scientist Barney Frank (Erin Smith (@erinkellysmith)), shows up to reveal all sorts of deceptions that all make sense and easily coexist within the same person. Follow Tanner on letterboxd as tabner and find Matt by s...

Is that the Halloween theme we hear? NO! It's a different song, this one is called Tubular Bells and it's from The Exorcist. It's also good, but you can tell the difference. In the Halloween theme they play the same note twice in the dunt part of dun dunt dunt dun dunt dunt dun dunt dun# dunt. David Donnella (@davidlasoul) is the one who is to blame for having been scared of The Exorcist and NOT Halloween. Also the demon (Stephanie Burchinow (@stephburch1)) shows up to talk about one special att...

Look out Jovial Bob Stine, because Sunny Zimmerman (@zimmer_down_) has the brave boys watch an episode of Goosebumps! We talk about this scary dummy then we have a return guest, Chucky (Mark Jacob (@markbymarkjacob)), on to discuss this representation of a doll man in media, and to get into more trouble with Laura. Follow Tanner on letterboxd as tabner and find Matt by searching through who he follows. Our editor/producer is @erinkellysmith.

You'll float too. If E.T. is helping you escape that is! We determine which of us was brave enough to order a pizza without asking our parents first, because our friend Garrett Palm (@gpalm79) has us watch E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. Then the little freak himself, E.T. (Isabella Escalante (@isabellaesc)), stops by to teach us how the bike floating works as Tanner demands to know the rules. Follow Tanner on letterboxd as tabner and find Matt by searching through who he follows. Our editor/produ...

Find out if the boys are too scared to crawl under a bathroom stall as they talk to Ann Maddox (@mikiannmaddox) about They Live. Also learn about how Tanner has been experimenting with ways to improve upon the comfort provided by a squatty potty. Then one of the aliens (Scott Thiede (@swthiede)) says some truly controversial things that do not reflect the views of Scott Thiede (@swthiede). Do I usually write these in third person or as one of the boys? Follow Tanner on letterboxd as tabner and...
