Haunted Homebodies

It’s time for our most cathartic theme yet. . .GOOD FOR HER. Join us as we dive into one of the great horror comedies of our time, Ready or Not. Today, we discuss absolute Scream Queen Samara Weaving, going head to head against a truly excellent cast of (overwhelmingly Canadian?) in-laws. . .I mean villains. . .all while wearing one of the most iconic horror movie outfits of all time. Is that a lot of hyperbole for one movie? Yes. Is it deserved? Definitely.

Well, homebodies, we have reached the end of our SNOWBOUND theme and hopefully also the end of this brutal New England winter! We are celebrating by watching another episode of Ashley’s comfort show, Murder, She Wrote. But today, we will discuss the MSW episode widely considered the most brutal of all. Dare I say, this is the closest thing to a “slasher” episode that we get from this show’s very long run. So bundle up and grab one last cup of hot cocoa, as we watch Jessica Fletcher crack another case!

It’s now April, but we are still covered in snow over in Haunted Homebody land! Join us as Ashley reveals yet another embarrassing and questionable young adult memory about another wintery Stephen King adaptation, Misery. Is Sara okay after watching *that* scene? You know the one… And were we wrong to assume that the King of Horror could ever be considered cozy? And do we ever actually answer any of these theoretical intro questions? Probably not, but we at least have a lot of fun trying.

There was a time when, asked what our favorite cozy horror movie was, we may have said, first: what is cozy horror? And then, maybe… The Shining? But it is not this day. Today, we will be chatting all about this adaptation of the Stephen King classic, deciding whether we find this movie cozy and whether it still “hits the spot” as a wintery horror rewatch.

The Donner Pass is named after one of the most harrowing and tragic tales in American history. Not surprisingly the area is now haunted AF. But it is not just ghost dogs and badass pioneer women who haunt this infamous area. It is also haunted by its own incredibly treacherous landscape, which just keeps proving that, even with incredible progress, in the battle of man vs. nature, nature will always win.
From creepy train tunnels with tragic origin stories to even more moments that make you ask, “How is this a real story and not part of some movie?”, we hope you enjoy the haunted history and happenings of California’s Donner Pass.
