   Welcome to Derry Without Pennywise? We Have Notes

   Where’s Pennywise? Adam, Alex, and Stef review the IT: Welcome to Derry Halloween special on the SpitTake Podcast. They get into Stephen King’s lore, Maturin the cosmic turtle, and whether an origin story with a charging moose and no Pennywise in clown form can deliver the scares they came for. The crew also takes on the twists and tangles of American Horror Story Season 13, debates strategy on The Traitors, and weighs in on Dancing with the Stars. In Whatcha Watching, Adam shares his first impressions of Crystal Lake, the Friday the 13th prequel series. Did the Welcome to Derry special make you want more Stephen King lore, or were you waiting for the clown to show up? Tell us in the comments, and subscribe for more horror reviews, reality TV debates, and pop culture takes. #WelcomeToDerry #Pennywise #SpitTakePodcast

   Why Are We Feeling Bad for Jason? | SpitTake Halloween Special

   SpitTake Podcast celebrates Halloween with horror movie reviews, remake debates, and the scary movies we return to every spooky season. Adam and Stef dive into Crystal Lake and Jason Voorhees’ backstory, the A Nightmare on Elm Street remake, Carrie, and American Horror Story. Are horror origin stories making iconic villains more compelling—and why are we suddenly feeling bad for Jason? We also review Renfield, featuring Nicolas Cage as Dracula and Nicholas Hoult as his long-suffering assistant, and revisit the vampire comedy What We Do in the Shadows. From Freddy Krueger’s original look to the tangled storylines of American Horror Story, we discuss what makes horror work and where remakes lose their bite. Looking for Halloween movies to watch? We share our thoughts on seasonal favorites including Beetlejuice, Ghostbusters, Hocus Pocus, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Coraline, plus supernatural scares from The Exorcist, Insidious, and The Conjuring. Along the way, Stef remembers beloved pets through a conversation inspired by Día de los Muertos, and we talk Halloween costumes, neighborhood haunted houses, and stealing the best trick-or-treat candy from the kids. Join Adam and Stef for horror, nostalgia, and questionable takes—and tell us: Which horror villain has a backstory that made you feel sorry for them? Spoiler warning: Includes plot discussions for several movies and TV shows. #SpitTakePodcast #Halloween #HorrorMovies #CrystalLake #AmericanHorrorStory

   Carrie, Evil Dead Burn & Practical Magic 2 | Spooky Season Reviews

   Spooky season gets brutally honest on this episode of SpitTake Podcast! Adam, Alex, and Stef dive into American Horror Story, Mike Flanagan’s Carrie, Evil Dead Burn, and Practical Magic 2, with horror reviews, Stephen King theories, and plenty of wildly inappropriate detours. The crew debates whether American Horror Story’s character resurrections cheapen the stakes before exploring Carrie’s modern-day bullying, psychic powers, and potential connections to The Dark Tower and Stephen King’s shared universe. Adam shares his take on Evil Dead Burn, comparing its brutality with Evil Dead Rise and asking whether the franchise needs another hero like Ash Williams. Meanwhile, Stef explains why Practical Magic 2 delivers the sisterhood, nostalgia, and midnight margaritas she wanted. Plus: Shane Gillis and comedy backlash, painfully long waits between TV seasons, Dancing with the Stars judging, and Alex’s chaotic review of The Island of Dr. Moreau. And because nothing ruins a horror marathon like the same insurance commercial on repeat, the crew takes aim at “Liberty Biberty” and celebrates the unforgettable “Berries and Cream.” What’s scarier: a Deadite attack or another streaming-service commercial? Drop your take in the comments, and follow SpitTake Podcast for more movie reviews, TV talk, and unfiltered pop-culture comedy. Spoiler warning: Includes plot discussion for American Horror Story, Carrie, Evil Dead Burn, and Practical Magic 2.
