    The Deep House and Lake Lanier

    The Deep House and Lake Lanier

    Welcome back to Nothing Scarier Podcast!! 

    We are back, healthy and ready to talk about all things terrifying!! This week, we dive deep into the horror of The Deep House. What could be worse then being trapped in a hunted house? What if that house was at the bottom of a lake?! After the movie, Courtney brings us the history and haunts of the popular lake Lanier. I think the Nothing Scarier crew will pass on any waterslides any time soon.

    The Happening and Lethal Plants

    The Happening and Lethal Plants

    Welcome back to Nothing Scarier Podcast!

    We are back at it with yet another M.Night movie, and another week of us wondering exactly what was going on with horror in the early 2000s. First, we watch The Happening - a misunderstood masterpiece or a horrible swing and a miss? Then, Cayla brings us a little closer to never going outside by introducing three of the world's most lethal plants. Please always remember - if you don't know what it is, never use it as outdoor toilet paper.

    Dante's Peak and Mount Saint Helens

    Welcome back to Nothing Scarier Podcast!! 
    Fresh off our spring break and back with a pyroclastic bang! This week we watched Dante’s Peak. Then Courtney brings us the true and terrifying history of Mount St. Helens. Lava, acid lakes and a rogue scientist - our movie has it all - and the true story behind the 1980s eruption just might have you second guessing that trip to Yellowstone.

    Quarantine and Rabies

    Welcome back to Nothing Scarier Podcast

    Grab your camera, and don't turn out the lights - this week we are watching the stress-inducing Quarantine.  How does "Quarantine" compare to the real-life rabies threat? Can you imagine being locked in with something far worse than ghosts?  From its deadly symptoms to its terrifying progression, we'll explore how this ancient fear continues to haunt us.

One of my favorite podcasts

I found this podcast while listening to a listens episode of another podcast I don’t normally listen to when they read a story sent in by Cayla. This podcast was mentioned and the hosts live in my state! It felt like kismet finding my way here. I love listening to them review movies and tie in real life stories that inspired the movie or relate in an interesting way. I thought I would die laughing listening to the episode on Final Destination. Listening to Cayla and Courtney is like listening to friends and it’s so great to find more women who are into the horror and all things spooky. Thank you for keeping me company and making my work days brighter.
