   Episode 12. Scream 1-3

   It’s finally here! We’ve been so excited to talk about one of our favorite film franchises of all time, Scream! With Scream VI coming out this weekend, we thought it’d be best to make a two-parter. This episode contains our commentary, fun facts, and opinions of Scream 1-3. There are 100% spoilers throughout so if you don’t want the Ghostfaces of these films revealed, definitely go give the series a watch! This episode contains a jumpscare of a fire alarm and even while editing it I wasn’t prepared. We hope you enjoy and look forward to releasing part 2 soon!

   Episode 11. Scream VI Predictions

   “That is so sexist. The killer could easily be female. Basic instinct.” “New York, New Rules.” We’re taking the Big Apple, baby! In this episode, we discuss our Scream VI predictions and we are incredibly excited for it. This episode kicks off a string of our next few episodes covering the Scream franchise in preparation for the new movie. In this episode, the audio is a little funky so all of us may sound a little different (especially Kelsey). Enjoy!

   Episode 10. 2022: A Year in Review

   Kelsey, Talia, and Sophie are back for the new year! After a quite long hiatus, we are here to discuss a 2022 year in review. This past year was stacked with releases for the horror genre, so in this episode we detail all our favorite movies of the year and some of the duds as well (even though those were harder to come by). We also decided to share some of our most anticipated releases for the upcoming year. Kelsey hypes up the underdog of the year Fall, Sophie talks about the only “fight” she and Kelsey have ever had, and Talia defends Bodies, Bodies, Bodies as one of her favs of the year.

   Episode 9. Black Christmas

   Kelsey, Talia, and Sophie wish you the happiest of holidays with this special seasonal episode! This week we discuss the iconic Christmas horror masterpiece that is Black Christmas (1974), and its two tragic remakes from 2006 and 2019. Will they ever put this story to rest? Perhaps not, but we cover our thoughts and feelings on the films with a twist… we’re drunk! This week we decided to shake things up and get quite tipsy before our conversation. The three films evoke plenty of strong opinions from each of us–intoxicated or not, so we hope you enjoy and stay warm this winter! There are spoilers in this episode for all three movies! On this episode of VFMW, Talia confuses character names (as always), Kelsey is sitting a little too close to the mic (sorry), and Sophie keeps us on track (surprisingly).

   Episode 8. Santa's Slay/Krampus

   “Yes, Virginia. There IS a Santa Claus!” In this festive episode, we discuss two iconic Christmas horror movies: Santa’s Slay (2005) and Krampus (2015). This episode contains spoilers of the two movies as well as insight to our thoughts on the holiday horror films. There is an entire genre of horror movies that are about Santa and Christmas traditions so what better way to kick off the holiday season than to cover these films! This episode also includes multiple unrelated tangents including a baby crying contest, Willy Wonka, and Evan Peters. Sophie exposes herself as a Timothée Chalamet hater, Talia explains her grievances of Santa destroying a small business, and Kelsey is struggling to keep herself from yawning because she's so tired (it’s literally 11am).

   Episode 7. ThanksKilling/Black Friday

   In this episode of VFMW, we discuss Thanksgiving horror movies! The movies we discussed in this episode were Black Friday (2021) and ThanksKilling (2007). Be warned, these movies we discussed were not great. One of these movies could offend everyone at Thanksgiving and the other could put everyone to sleep after they have their meals. Talia discusses her hate for Thanksgiving food. Kelsey and Sophie speculate they may be related. At the end of this episode we discuss Thanksgiving food and traditions as well as our excitement for Christmas horror films.

   Episode 6. Chaotic Movie Lists

   In this episode of VFMW, we compile random lists of horror movies that are connected in some way, either personal or something about the films. When brainstorming the idea of this episode we all took pretty different directions with our lists. Guess along with us as we try to guess these chaotic lists of movies. In this episode, Sophie talks about The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs, Talia compares the fans of Midsommar vs. Hereditary, and Kelsey is done with movie theaters and wants to end her Regal membership. At the end of the episode we discuss some anticipated watches for Thanksgiving and Christmas. We hope you enjoy the guessing game we play this episode as well as some of our chaotic discourse.

   Episode 5. Terrifier/ Terrifier 2

   In this episode of VFMW, we discuss the movies Terrifier 1 and 2. In this episode we all can't stop sniffling because we're getting over a cold </3. In addition, Kelsey can’t stay still, Talia talks about the Clown Panic from 2016, and Sophie can’t remember any of the characters names. Terrifier 2 has been gaining serious traction and we were hearing that people were passing out in the theater and leaving from how scary and brutal it was. We decided we needed to check it out for ourselves! We dive into Art the Clown as a villain as well as talking a little bit about the psychology of gore and why it intrigues us so much. There are spoilers, so if you haven’t seen these yet feel free to check them out at your own discretion because they are gore-filled!

   Episode 4. Halloween Ends?

   In this episode of VFMW, we discuss Halloween (2018) and Halloween Kills as well as discussing the final release of the trilogy Halloween Ends. We warn for spoilers when we get to Halloween Ends if you haven’t had a chance to see it yet! Kelsey can’t stop talking about her annoyance for the character of Alyson, Sophie applauds the characters of Big John and Little John, and Talia discusses her disappointment for Halloween Ends. We explore our wild theories, our favorite death scenes, and some of our favorite characters throughout the franchise. This is such a beloved franchise and we loved getting to discuss all the good that Michael Myers and Laurie Strode bring to the world of horror.

    Episode 3. Child's Play Franchise

    Episode 3 of VFMW explores all 8 movies in the Child’s Play franchise! Bear with us as we try to recollect the happenings of each movie. Talia can’t help but refer to TCM during each film, Sophie will talk until someone stops her, and Kelsey adds a southern twang to her Chucky impression. After sitting through this entire franchise in one day, months ago, it’s apparent our brains were a little fried. We learned a lot from this chaotic conversation about recording future franchise episodes in the future! Regardless if you make it through this episode or not let us know your favorite Child's Play installment as well as your favorite impression from the end of the episode!

    The second episode of VFMW is here! In this episode, Sophie can’t hold back her cat-allergy-sniffles, Talia talks a big game, and Kelsey whole-heartedly believes Megan Fox is in Disturbia! We decided to take a different route this week and play some games! Play along with us as we go through the alphabet naming horror movies, try to guess titles with vague 30 second plot descriptions, and more!
