When Ben Eller and Steven Spratling come together to take on Alexandre Aja’s High Tension, get ready for our patented double choke-slam off the top rope through a flaming table! What is the killer’s motivation? What is real in this film? How are the effects so great? (Giannetto de Rossi, that’s how)

Put out some cheese puffs and Twinkies, Ben Eller and Steven Spratling are talking The Slumber Party Massacre. Why all the boob shots? What happened in that Dodger's game they keep talking about? (Cey homered...) How many final girls can you have? (Three, apparently)

Wednesday Jun 21, 2017
We return this week to discuss the classic horror film, The Exorcist. Ben Eller and Steven Spratling will help you find answers to all of your burning questions. Just what is possessing Regan MacNeil? Who killed Burke Dennings? Did the power of Christ compel us to do this movie? (I'm going to say...no?) Music by Ben Eller @benellerguitars

Wednesday Jun 14, 2017
We've jumped into our proprietary time-traveling contraption and gone back in time to bring you this gem from a slightly younger Ben Eller and Steven Spratling. This week we cover The Witch. Who is the titular witch? What's the moral of this folk tale? Would you like to live deliciously? (Sounds fun)

Defending their titles as Podcasting Tag Team Champs, Ben Eller and Steven Spratling cover Wes Craven's classic A Nightmare on Elm Street. What makes Nightmare different from other slashers of the era? Is this movie all a dream? Can Uncle Ben lay down some deep music knowledge to help you understand why the score of this movie is so creepy? (Spoiler Alert: He will)

006 Suspiria (1977)
Wednesday May 24, 2017
Wednesday May 24, 2017
Returning to the Dario Argento well this quickly would seem too daunting a task for many podcasters; but not for Ben Eller and Steven Spratling! What's the deal with our heroine's journey? How many horror movies pin so much on use of color and musical score? Does Dario Argento hate blind people? (Yes. We're just reporting! Don't get angry with us!)

This week on Dead and Lovely, Ben Eller and Steven Spratling discuss John Carpenter's In the Mouth of Madness (1995). Are we all puppets in a predetermined world created by a madman under the influence of extra-dimensional beings? What is the nature of reality?

Wednesday May 10, 2017
This week Ben Eller and Steven Spratling discuss Takashi Miike's Audition / オーディション (1999). Is this a horror movie or a romantic comedy? Do we like torture porn horror? Whose the better couple: Shigeharu Aoyama and Asami Yamazaki or Ben and Steve? (It's me and Ben, for sure)

003 Hellraiser (1987)
Monday May 01, 2017
Monday May 01, 2017
This week, Ben and Steve travel from THE FUTURE to discuss Hellraiser. Don't be confused by the way they move effortlessly backward and forward through the fourth dimension; one of them is definitely a Time Lord. Will Cinnabon ever sell the Cinna-bite kid's meals with face meat puzzles we've proposed? Is that puzzle box as tough to solve as an extra-dimensional gateway key should be? You had me at Hellraiser?!
