Did the most famous Bigfoot video of all time just get officially debunked?!

This week on Scaredycast, Tony recaps his wild California trip—from getting engaged to going onto the Paramount Studios lot for a secret movie screening thanks to TikTok. He also hits Universal Studios for horror attractions, checks out the Jaws exhibit at the Academy Museum, and bravely enters the ocean… up to his hips.

Then we dive into the main story: the Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot footage may have finally been exposed as a hoax—and yeah, we’ve got thoughts.

Plus:

• Creeps of the Week: “Boy Moms”
• Which horror franchise went on WAY too long?
• Horror movies people pretend to love
• Endings so bad they ruin everything

This week on Scaredycast, we dive into some horror hot takes, a bizarre crime story, and listener tales from one of the creepiest places in America. We debate whether The Exorcist still holds up as a terrifying movie or if modern audiences are too desensitized. Then we ask an important survival question: if Jason Voorhees existed in real life, would most people actually survive him? We also discuss whether horror movies are failing to scare audiences because we’ve seen everything—or because filmmakers aren’t taking enough risks anymore. We talk about the absolutely insane story of a Louisiana man accused of pretending to be disabled in order to lure a nanny and have her perform infant-style care like diaper changes. Police say the suspect allegedly used a nanny service to bring victims to his home and was arrested on a human trafficking charge, with investigators saying similar incidents had happened before. And finally, a listener writes in with stories from working inside Zak Bagans' The Haunted Museum—including what it’s like behind the scenes around some of the most infamous cursed objects in paranormal lore.

This week on Scaredycast, we’re diving deep into horror, controversy, and chaotic survival debates.

We break down the disturbing case of Dr. George Kenney, the former principal of North Port High School whose private hypnosis sessions were linked to the tragic deaths of three students. What really happened? Was hypnosis a factor — or something more complicated?

Then we shift gears into pure horror fandom debate:

If the zombie apocalypse hits… are you surviving solo or rolling deep with a group?
Theater experience or watching horror alone at 2am in total darkness?
Are horror remakes killing originality — or keeping the genre alive for new fans?

And yes… we go FULL SPOILERS on Scream 7. Nothing is off limits. Twists, kills, returning characters, franchise direction — we’re breaking it all down.

Plus, Tony recaps hosting panels at Days of the Dead, including conversations with horror legends:

• Tom Savini

• Greg Nicotero

• Chris Sarandon

• Alex Vincent

• Felissa Rose

…and somehow we also talk about roadside BBQ in Atlanta because of course we do.
