Katy From The Crypt: Recent Episodes
Katy Bug and Nik
If you want to journey into the world of horror films and books, BUT journey into them through the eyes of an adorable 9 year old girl and her very irresponsible father, look no further than Katy From The Crypt.
We’re trying to keep these gators down with this week’s review of Crawl! Our 2019 disaster flick has it all, gators, competitive swimmers, hurricanes, gators, Billy Pepper, cute dogs, more gators, and somehow we’re able to still able talk about emu’s, Donald Trump action movies, and Irish psychopaths. Wow! This episode has it all!
Our final week of Studio Ghibli reviews goes out with a bang as we review My Neighbor Totoro, the darling tale of two isolated girls in post-war Japan who suffer from delusions of a giant cat-bunny with magical powers. I don’t have any “funny” questions for this post. It’s late. Go sleepy….Enjoy!
Our third Studio Ghibli review is flying high with Kiki’s Delivery Service, a heartwarming tale about a teenage witch who invents Amazon in the 1950s. With the voice talent of the late, great Phil Hartman, this story bums us out as much as it delights. Does Kiki deliver the goods? Can Katy Bug learn to … Continue reading Episode 62-Kiki’s Delivery Service →
After a brief detour, we’re heading back to Japan with some more Studio Ghibli goodness! Princess Mononoke is our flick of the week and we’ve got to marvel at the lack of any Princess Mononoke.

We’re taking a break from our Studio Ghibli reviews to check out the new addition to the Conjuringverse, The Conjuring 3: The Devil Made Me Do It. How fares the 3rd installment to Ed and Lorraine Warren’s supernatural adventures? Was this couple doing God’s work or a total fraud? Did Katy say “unresponsible” or “irresponsible”? … Continue reading Episode 60-The Conjuring 3 →
We’re showing love this week to our favorite animated director, Hayao Miyazaki. Sure, he’s not exactly known for his slasher films, but it’s our show and we wanted an excuse to watch Spirited Away. It was the highest-grossing film in Japan for 20 years for a reason. Why? Listen to our show to find out!
It’s our final May the 4th Movie in a Franchise and this week we’re going back, waaaaaay back 65 million years to Jurassic World! Okay, maybe you don’t consider this flick “horror”, but if you were being chased by giant, man-eating dinosaurs, I bet you would be horrified, fair? Check us out on Instagram!
We’re bone-deep into May the 4th Movie of a Franchise with Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers. A first of the show, neither Katy nor Nik has seen this movie! Will it blow their minds? Is it a total dud? Do they spend the first 10 minutes praising the brilliance of Hayao Miyazaki? You … Continue reading Episode 57-Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers →
Week two of our May the 4th Movie in a Franchise continues with this gem of 80s nostalgia.

Welcome to May the 4th Movie in a Franchise! All month, in honor of Star Wars, we’re going to cover the 4th flick in a franchise (obviously) and this week we’re kicking it off with Scream 4.

This is a tough one, folks. We…we just don’t know what to say about The Witches. Just know that Katy From The Crypt loves you very much. The fact that we watched this so you didn’t have to is testament enough.
We’re serving up bite-sized bits of terror for you and you’re little ones. SHORTS! We love these free, spine-tingling nuggets and review some of our favorite horror shorts from the world of YouTube and Arrow. YouTube: Where’s Waldo The Other Side of the Box Don’t Peak Arrow: The Robbery The Stylist

If you’re new to the show or … Continue reading Episode 51-Celebration Spooktacular →
Don’t fall asleep! This week we’re having A Nightmare On Elm Street. Does this classic 80’s slasher flick deliver the goods? How many hairs can Katy Bug pull out of her mouth? Can Nik read his own handwriting? NOTE: when writing notes for a podcast, always make sure you can actually read your notes!
Won’t somebody think of the children!? In this episode, we do. We’re looking at kid’s books by Michael Rex and Adam Rex (no relation?). Enjoy the gore-free thrills of Goodnight Good, The Runaway Mummy, and Frankenstein Makes A Sandwich.
Grab your umbrella because we’re reviewing Fear of Rain. Does this thriller about mental illness deliver the goods or exploit a serious condition? Does Katy Bug know who Harrison Ford is? Does the cat ever stop biting my knee? All of these questions are answered in this week’s episode! And we promise to never record … Continue reading Episode 48-Fear of Rain →
We’ve risen from the dead! Katy Bug and Nik are back and this time they’re talking about the Shudder exclusive, Host. The movie was so scary that Nik never even saw the monster, he was too busy hiding his face. Katy Bug gives it an 8 out of 10 stuffed horses.
Hi, folks! Uh, this is our last episode. SURPRISE! Yup, we’re taking a break. Maybe we’ll come back, maybe we won’t, but like any good horror franchise, we never die. Nik is flying solo on this episode, discussing how the end came, why, and what the future may hold.
This week we’re going back to school to watch an outstanding student film, Weird Fiction! Listen as Katy Bug mumbles for a while because she’s “over tired”. Be amazed at my end-of-show rant about girls not allowing other girls to be funny!
Dear, sweet Jesus. We have to review another Insidious film. We don’t really know what to say, this flick is a bore. We’re bored talking about it. We’re bored writing this description about it. If that doesn’t make you want to listen to our show,
This week we’re having some fun with the light-hearted murderfest, Happy Death Day! Join us as we talk about this Groundhog’s Day meets Scream flick and what life would be like living the same day over and over again!

This week we’re dipping our toe into the Insidious franchise. With another James Wan flick under our belt, Colby decided to sit in so all three of us could talk about how boring this movie is. Actually, we talk about The Twilight Zone, cooking,
We’re wrapping up our three week study of the Cloverfield series. Unfortunately, we had to end on this stinker of a flick. I know we’re supposed to hype our show, but the first half of this episode is as dull as the movie. Yikes!
We’re riding high on that sweet, sweet Cloverfield! This week we’re reviewing 10 Cloverfield Lane…sort of. The kids are running the show today while Daddy steps back, at least for a while. Colby is fired on air! Listen to the drama! The tension!
Oh, the horror! Oh, the farting! So much farting! This week we’re reviewing the giant monster flick, Cloverfield. Is there anything more frightening than a giant sea creature that wants to eat you? Well, there is if Colby and Katy Bug won’t stop tryin…

There is much rejoicing in the land! The children have finally watched the new version of IT. And now they want to talk about it with you. Hang out with us as we talk about clowns, kids, and lots of teeth. I give this movie a hard time,
Why watch Deliverance, The Blair Witch Project, and The Ruins separately when you can watch all three at once! The Ritual is a pretty darn good UK flick that doesn’t stray too far from its source material, until the end, that is.
The inmates are running the asylum! This week we’ve got Colby from Nearly Neurotypical sitting in with Katy Bug to talk about the Netflix flick, Before I Wake. For Colby, this movie was an emotional gut punch. For Katy, it was all right.
For our final instalment of Flashback January, we’re jumping back to 1975 to watch Pete Walker’s British ::cough:: masterpiece, Frightmare. Nik saw this when he was 6 years old? Does it hold up? Is it frightening? Probably not!
Travel back to Katy Bug’s early childhood 4 years ago to age 5! Take a rest and listen to us chat about Killer Klowns, how great the FX are, and of course, silly straws! Katy Bug also pimps out her Girl Scout cookies and I mistakenly call this episode …
Pack your bags, we’re going on a trip down memory lane! This week we’re talking Hell Night, a 1981 slasher flick starring the lovely Linda Blair. This movie is near and dear to Nik’s heart. What does Katy Bug think of it? Listen and find out….
Happy New Years! This week, Nik is doing all the heavy lifting as we talk about Gremlins 2, a movie so forgettable that Katy Bug literally had no memory of seeing it. We actually had more fun talking about Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.
Say to goodbye to 2017 Katy From The Crypt style by listening to us talk about stuff! Got nothing better to do? Neither do we, so we’re talking about our favorite flick of the year. We’re also talking about biggest disappointments. Oh!
Christmas is here! Are we talking about homeless babies? No! We’re talking about Germanic demons! Krampus is calling and we’re accepting the charges. That doesn’t make any sense, but we love this movie so much, we don’t care.

We launch into outer space for this horror classic. We talk about a lot of things that neither of us can remember…oh yeah, Alien! A kind of dull first half finishes strong when the alien get to killin’. Katy Bug is very distracted and Nik is losing his…
Your dolls want to kill you! Or at least steal your soul. This week we’re watching Annabelle; a pretty good horror movie with a much better sequel/prequel. Listen as we talk about making friends with other podcasts!
Our final Stephen King Tribute Month tribute, The Shining! Many people are fond of this obscure, often unheard of flick by a little known, indie director named Stanly Kubrick. And we’re no exception. We’re talking haunted hotels, beard oil,
