Mouths of Madness is a horror movie review podcast delivering long-form deep dives into classic horror, cult favorites, and disturbing films. Featuring sharp analysis, dark humor, and debates from an older vs. younger generation perspective, we cover everything from slashers and sci-fi horror to psychological nightmares and body horror. From Carpenter, Craven, and Cronenberg to overlooked cult classics, no horror movie is safe from discussion. New episodes twice a month.
Does Saw (2004) have the greatest twist in modern horror—or does Jigsaw’s master plan fall apart under scrutiny? 🪚
Kevin, Dan, Bearclaw, and Logan celebrate The Mouths of Madness’ third anniversary and our annual Halloween episode with a full-spoiler review of James Wan and Leigh Whannell’s horror classic. We debate Jigsaw’s questionable “morality,” the reverse bear trap, plot holes, and whether the original Saw deserves its torture porn reputation.
Meanwhile, JigClaw has trapped the guys in games involving The Crow, a hungry shark, and enough Mountain Dew to drown Logan. Anniversary planning has really gotten out of hand.

SJT: Obsession (2026)
Is Obsession (2026) the future of horror? A magical wish, a nightmare relationship, and customer service that definitely won’t be getting five stars. 😬
Kevin, Nathan, and Gill dissect Curry Barker’s supernatural horror movie, from Inde Navarrette’s terrifying performance as Nikki to the uncomfortable question: Is Bear the real monster? We explore obsession versus love, stolen autonomy, the One Wish Willow, and an ending that leaves us needing the padded room.
Does it live up to the hype—or should we have been more careful what we wished for?

Sinister (2012)
Is Sinister (2012) really one of the scariest horror movies ever made—or is that heart-rate study doing some serious heavy lifting?
Mad’tober continues as Kevin, Dan, Bearclaw, and Logan review Scott Derrickson’s supernatural horror movie starring Ethan Hawke. We debate the disturbing Super 8 home movies, THAT lawnmower jump scare, Ellison’s terrible parenting, and whether creepy kids and Bagul’s complicated rules help or hurt the horror. Pool parties and yard work may never feel the same.
But first… free lessons at Bagul’s Boogie Dance Studio! The guys need to perfect their Thriller reenactment, armed with workout tassels, a red leather jacket, and a dangerously tight leisure suit. What could possibly go wrong? Besides every attempt to pronounce Bagul.
