  1. 84: Paranormal Activity (2007)

    Episode 87

    Show notes

    Emma and Ally are setting up cameras around the house to figure out what’s going bump in the night, because this week on Spooky Chicks and Horror Flicks, the hosts recap and review Paranormal Activity (2007)

    The found-footage phenomenon that proved you don’t need a massive budget, a script, or fancy cameras to make a horror hit.

    Written and directed by Oren Peli and starring Katie Featherston and Micah Sloat, the film follows a young couple who begin documenting increasingly disturbing paranormal activity in their home. As the nights get progressively worse, Micah decides the best course of action is to keep filming, provoke the entity, and generally do everything you would not want your boyfriend doing during a demonic haunting.

  2. 86: Obsession (2026)

    Episode 86

    Show notes

    Emma and Ally know exactly what to wish for... and that is to recap and review Obsession (2026)

    Written and directed by Curry Barker and starring Michael Johnston, Inde Navarrette, Cooper Tomlinson, and Megan Lawless, Obsession follows Bear, a hopeless romantic who uses a “One Wish Willow” to make his longtime crush fall in love with him. Because I guess asking someone out like a normal person was simply not an option. What follows is a twisted descent into obsession, entitlement, and the terrifying consequences of getting exactly what you wish for.

    Episode 85

    Show notes

    Emma and Ally are waking up in a filthy bathroom with a dead guy between them and absolutely no idea how they got there, because this week on Spooky Chicks and Horror Flicks, the hosts recap and review Saw (2004)
    The low-budget horror phenomenon that turned a tricycle riding puppet into one of the most recognizable figures in the genre.

    Directed by James Wan and written by Wan and Leigh Whannell, Saw follows strangers Adam and Dr. Lawrence Gordon, who find themselves trapped in a bizarre game designed by the mysterious Jigsaw Killer. As they struggle to figure out why they’ve been chosen, the film unfolds through disturbing traps, hidden clues, and enough cop plot to keep anyone entertained.

    Episode 84

    Show notes

    May Emma and Ally rest in peace, because this week on Spooky Chicks and Horror Flicks, the hosts recap and review Beetlejuice (1988)
    Tim Burton’s wild horror-comedy about ghosts, goth teenagers, and the absolute worst bio-exorcist you could possibly hire.

    Starring Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, Geena Davis, Alec Baldwin, and the late great Catherine O’Hara, Beetlejuice follows recently deceased couple Adam and Barbara Maitland as they attempt to scare away the new inhabitants of their beloved home. Unfortunately, their efforts lead them straight to the ghost with the most: Beetlejuice, a chaotic bio-exorcist who is definitely not someone you want on your contact list.

  6. 82: Alien (1979)

    Episode 82

    Show notes

    Emma and Ally are getting a distress signal in deep space, because apparently “mysterious transmission from an abandoned alien ship” is not a good enough reason to turn around and go home. But it's actually because this week on Spooky Chicks and Horror Flicks, the hosts recap and review Alien (1979).
    The ultimate sci-fi horror classic that proved outer space is just another terrible place to get murdered.

What follows is what makes this alien flick legendary.
