Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics!

During Spooky Season 2026 here on "Tis the Podcast," we've made a conscious effort to pepper in a few undisputed horror classics in our lineup, and that trend continues tonight as Julia and Anthony sit down to discuss Sam Raimi's beloved 1981 film, "The Evil Dead." Often considered one of the best scary movies of all time - and the beginning of the most consistently well received horror franchise - does this movie live up to its reputation for the two elves? You'll just have to tune in to find out in a wide-ranging discussion in which they talk about everything from the amateur, low-budget filming of this movie to Sam Raimi's inability to write women. Trust us when we say, this is one episode you don't want to miss!

So settle back with your pumpkin spice lattes, relax, and enjoy while you can, because Spooky Season is nearly over and Christmas is just about upon us! Get excited!

This week, as Spooky Season continues, the incredible Kendall Farrae of "Two Girls, One Crypt" joins Julia and Anthony to discuss the 2019 horror-comedy, "Ready or Not!" Anyone who's listened to the show before knows this is a favorite of Anthony, Julia, and Kendall, so you can bet this is one fun, laugh-out-loud episode as they discuss this hilarious and hilariously violent film! 

Also discussed: Anthony's birthday, the musical Puffs, Kendall's book club picks, Anthony, Kendall, and Misty's upcoming Halloween Horror Nights meetup, and much, much more! Trust us when we say this is one episode you want to be sure not to miss!

This week, as Spooky Season continues, Matt Spaulding of "North Pole Radio" and "2 Broke Geeks" joins Julia, Anthony, and Thom to discuss the 2023 slasher film, "Scream VI" - a.k.a. "Ghostface Takes Manhattan!" 

Everyone knows Anthony is the "Scream" fan on this show, so how does this one stack up against the rest of the franchise in his mind? And is Ghostface's murder spree in New York more or less successful than Jason's was in the "Friday the 13th" franchise? You'll just have to tune in to find out!

Happy Wednesday, Christmas Fanatics!

We are back with what is becoming a favorite staple of our annual Spooky Season celebrations: 2026's Tis the Podcast Ultimate Horror Movie Bracket!

This year, Anthony is joined by: Kendall and Misty of Two Girls, One Crypt, Matt of North Pole Radio, and Ron, Lindsey, and Ryan of Film Strip Podcast for the ultimate championship bracket to debate, argue, and ultimately figure out which horror movie will take the crown of what we deem 2026's ultimate horror film!

We're switching things up a bit this year though! Instead of Anthony choosing all of the movies for the competition, each show gets their own devision! So North Pole Radio picked all of the films to face off against one another in the Northwest Division, Film Strip Podcast all of the movies in the Southwest Division, Two Girls, One Crypt the Northeast Division, and Tis the Podcast the Southeast Division! It makes for a wide, eclectic range of movies that are definitely representative of the tastes of each show, and makes for some epic debates as the competition gets whittled down!

As always, this episode is an absolute marathon, clocking in at over eleven hours so it'll definitely keep you occupied for a few days at work and a few commutes in the lead up to Halloween! But we promise that, as always, it's filled with laughs, good-natured ribbing, and tons of excellent insight and opinions on some of the greatest(?) films in horror movie history. Trust us when we say this is one you definitely do not want to miss!

We poured a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into this one and appreciate you not only listening, but sharing it too! So settle back with your pumpkin spice lattes, hit that share button, press play, relax, and enjoy! As always, thanks for your love and support, y'all! ❤️🍂🎃🎅🏻🎄🎁 🦌🦉⛄️🚂🔔 🤶🏻 🎀 ❄️

Another first time watch for Julia, and one that's been part of Anthony's life for the majority of it, how does this one compare to A Nightmare on Elm Street?
