The Thanksgiving Show! Turkey time from the vault!

By thejavakat | November 24, 2022

Tis’ the season to be gobbly. It’s also that time of year where your belt loops get a little stretched and you may or may not fall asleep on the couch during the big game. This year, why not spend #Thanksgiving with us?

That’s right, Mike, Pat, Joel and Josh have warmed up some leftovers for you to enjoy while slowly digesting away that last piece of pie. This is a classic episode from our past (episode 13!) ; all about the biggest meal we all eat every year and a certain yearly tradition involving a turkey, some twine and a backyard.

If you don’t already know about it, then you are in for a treat.

Wake up, put on your big sweatpants and fix another place of cranberry sauce. It’s our Thanksgiving episode! Gobble, gobble mother cluckers!

(This is a show that was “lost” for a while, but has resurfaced, hope you enjoy this year one episode! -Mike)

It’s Halloween again and we’re watching…two movies with the same title. Well, we can’t find remakes all the time. We’re watching the 1986 “Trick or Treat” and 2007’s “Trick or Treat” anthology of terrors that includes Pumkinhead Sam, that little burlap headed nightmare. It’s a convoluted mess of a heavy-metal curses, werewolf packs, zombie curses and more!

When A Stranger Calls: 1979 vs 2006

“Have you checked the children?” Just the phrase makes your eye twitch a little. In the days before Creepypasta, there were urban legends passed down by word of mouth. The guys at ’40 Going On 14′ remember the one this movie is based on, and it’s a doozy. However, what nobody told us is that Charles Durning was going to be our hero. Or that 75% of the film adaptation would be the journey of a man in search of Colleen Dewhurst. Who knew? In 2006 they remade this little terrifying tale. Did they crank up the crank calling chaos or did they get a dial tone? Why is Roy from the office not more helpful? Why didn’t Agent Coulson just call on S.H.I.E.L.D.? You’ll have to face your fears and find out in this final fantastic free for all known as OctoBoo!

Dahmer 2002 vs 2022 Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story

By thejavakat | October 16, 2022

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

It’s week two of OctoBoo and we’re bringing in the big guns! For this new installment, we’re discussing one of the most notorious serial killers in history, Jeffery Dahmer.

In 2002, Jeremy Renner, cooked up a rather delicious performance in his direct to video junk food film simply called ‘Dahmer’. In 2022, Ryan Murphy created a 10 episode smörgåsbord of a show with Evan Peters taking on the culinary curiosities of Jeffery Dahmer in ‘Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story‘ on Netflix.

While not a monster in the traditional sense, these true tales of terror are heinous and horrific. Turn out the lights and load up on the snacks, as we’re going to satisfy all of your podcast cravings as we scare up another OctoBoo episode.
