Surprise! 🗝️✨ While Chey and Ben are away on vacation, we are unlocking the 9 Lives Horror Club vault and releasing... our very first recorded episode ever. Before we had video, before we dialed in our audio setup, and back when we were still figuring out how to run a podcast, we recorded this deep dive on Bob Clark’s proto-slasher classic, Black Christmas (1974) ! 🎄🩸 In this raw, unedited lost pilot, we break down: The real-life murders that inspired the film 🕵️♀️ The iconic (and very 70s) sor

Read excerpt
Hello Club Members, and Happy Friday! 🎈 This week, we are taking on Andy Muschietti’s blockbuster adaptation of the Stephen King classic: IT Chapter One (2017) ! For being such a big clown fan, Ben isn't entirely sold on this one. Don't get us wrong—the acting and production value are phenomenal, and at its heart, it’s an endearing story about losing innocence, facing trauma, and the power of chosen family. But we have to talk about Stephen King being an absolute freak when it comes to writing f

Read excerpt
Hello Club Members, and Happy Friday! This week, we are diving into Richard Donner’s iconic, satanic-panic, religiously charged classic: The Omen (1976) ! While the movie itself can feel a bit surface-level at times, the underlying political and social commentary cuts deep. We’re breaking down why the Anti-Christ being birthed specifically out of American political power makes total sense; from the very first scene where Robert Thorne lies to his wife, to the birthday party photo-ops where Kathe

This week, we are obsessing over Curry Barker’s divisive, horrifying, cultural phenomenon that exposes the subtle, everyday realities of abuse: Obsession (2026) ! We’re breaking down the deeper meaning of the film, examining the real-world implications of how audiences (and men) are reacting to it, and exploring what happens when women’s autonomy is stripped away. Plus, we’re tackling the burning question on everyone’s mind: Did Nikki actually have feelings for Bear? If you enjoyed the episode,

Read excerpt
Hello Club Members and happy Friday! This week, we are diving into Coralie Fargeat’s hypnotic, bone-crunching body horror masterpiece that exposes the terrifying extremes of modern beauty standards: The Substance (2024) ! We are joined by special guest Carina Martin , a scientist in dermatology, to help us separate actual cell-division facts from Hollywood movie magic. But beyond the wild science and bucketloads of prosthetic blood, this film cuts straight to the bone. We are breaking down the g
