"The skinheads were certainly a part of the punk movement, especially in the 1990s when I was a part of it... You had all kinds of different subgenres of punk rockers and hardcore kids and amongst them was the Nazi skinheads. That was definitely bizarre that people would be out in bright sunlight during a matinee show, proudly wearing swastikas. That element of danger stuck with me." - Jeremy Saulnier, creator of Green RoomPunk Rock, Sleezy Clubs in the Middle of Nowhere, Skinheads... and Patrick Stewart!

The Worst Movie Ever Made. What a title to bear. And yet, somehow, Ed Wood's Plan 9 from Outer Space manages to live up to the billing.Since Harry and Michael Medved declared this film the worst ever in their 1980 book The Golden Turkey Awards both Ed Wood and the creation he was most proud of have enjoyed a surprising rise in attention.A simple Google search will return more than a few pieces arguing that Medved and the other critics of Plan 9 were too harsh in their judgment. So what's the truth - so-bad-its-good, underappreciated, or plain ol' bad? Let the guys from Saw Something Scary be your guide in answering the question.This week's episode also features an introduction to Plan 9's creator Ed Wood by Dr. Udru (thanks Dr. Udru!) - you can find more of the good doctor's videos examining the horror genre on YouTube (and you really should check them out).Time to press download, adjust the volume, and find out if the viewers of Plan 9 from Outer Space Saw Something Scary!

So lets head down to the bunker and see what Dr. Logan has been getting in to with the guys from the Triple S Podcast!
It took 24 episodes but finally the Triple S Pod has come around to Paul W.S. Anderson's 1997 cult classic Event Horizon.Cult classic, that is, if you are Jeff.

Derik is off the set and back on the mic as he joins Jeff to discuss See No Evil from 2006. However, before the fellas partake of that subtle cinematic delicacy they... well, Derik... gushes over Wonder Woman. There's also some giddy anticipation for It Comes at Night and the possibility of a new golden age for the horror genre.If you watch See No Evil you'll believe a professional wrestler can kill people (maybe?), you'll see an actress who would soon be tasked with replacing Megan Fox in MichaelBayverse (um, ok?) but will you see something scary?Press play and find out!
Peter Medak's 1980 Haunted House masterpiece The Changeling is an underappreciated gem. Listen in as Jeff introduces you to this lesser-known (and lesser-appreciated) film in a special mini-episode and find out if he Saw Something Scary.
Oooooh Saw Something Scary in the Ring, don't you dare be sour - clap for the power of the new day dawning for this podcast.CBS Combat Sports Insider Brian Campbell and host of In This Corner with Brian Campbell joins the guys to discuss the current affairs of the WWE universe following Jinder Mahal's title ascension and the lead up thus far to both Extreme Rules and Money in the Bank.As you [hopefully already] know, they don't come any better than Brian Campbell so this is a must-listen episode.And if that weren't special enough this episode also marks a momentous transition for the podcast - Saw Something Scary in the Ring is going out on its back and The Mega Podders is taking the rub into a bright future.All is explained within this episode so download and listen away!
Somebody let Kevin Smith make another movie and frankly, in doing so, committed a heinous crime against good taste.For some unexplainable reason the Saw Something Scary guys watched. That film was so toxic it apparently melted Derik's mic.Just to be clear - the guys from the Triple S Podcast watched a Kevin Smith film. Did they see something scary? Tune in and find out.
"You either die a Legends Killer or live long enough to see yourself become a tool." That's how that phrase goes, right? Or at least it is when it comes to Randy Orton. Ok, that's not fair - Derik totally doesn't feel that way about RKO but the discussion he and Jeff have about Randy's most recent Twitter storm almost devolves into throwing hands.The guys also discuss the most recent episodes of Raw and Smackdown Live before previewing this week's Backlash PPV.Did this week's WWE slate give viewers a chance to see something scary? We'll see... on the latest episode of Saw Something Scary in the Ring.
Have you ever wondered what Derik and Jeff sound like punch drunk? Here's your chance - the guys burned through the midnight oil and in to the small hours of the morning to get this episode in the can.In this episode the guys voice high hopes for Wonder Woman (stay away Zack Snyder!), acknowledge the greatness of Mike Flanagan, and compare Hush to Don't Breathe.Did they also see something scary? Download to find out!
So yeah, as the title indicates, when the WWE goes to the United Kingdom there isn't a whole lotta scary going on. Yes, Finn was there (the non Demon King version) and so was Bray but nothing scarier than Dean Ambrose talking for 15 straight minutes went down.That doesn't mean there isn't noteworthy stuff to discuss in the broader wrestling universe - including NXT's Aleister Black, Alexa Bliss, and - of course - Braun-StRoman-Reigns.So you won't be seeing something particularly scary in the ring this week but you'll get plenty of discussion about the world of the squared circle. And please let us know what you think about the episode - on Twitter or by leaving us a review on your favorite podcasting service.
It's time for the daddy of them all! Well, the daddy of some of them. Ok - the daddy of Carpenter's Halloween and all the movies that tried to copy it (looking at you, Friday the 13th).That's, right - we're talking about 1974's holiday-slasher-genre-inventing Black Friday (note: not Tobe Hooper's 2006 remake). On the way we check out some new trailers, talk about M. Nigh Shyamalan's renaissance-through-economy strategy, and the lasting merits (?) of the episode's influential centerpiece.Watching Black Friday you'll see young women terrorized by a prank-caller with evil intentions, an early Margot Kidder... performance, and what might be the origin story of Lt. Donald Thompson (bonus points to those of you who get the reference).But will you see something scary?Download and find out!

Man, how good was WWE Payback 2017?Well, except for the tomfoolery that went on in and with Bray Wyatt's House of Horrors match against Randy Orton. The guys from the Triple S podcast are under obligation to follow up on this traveshamockery so, like the good soldiers they are, the fellas wade into the mire and examine what happened - and what should have happened - with the most recent embarrassment of Bray Wyatt.There's plenty more, however, on the all that was good in Payback 2017 as well as the immediate future for the WWE, along with Jeff quite possibly having lost his mind after the Strowman / Reigns.... match.See you Inside the Ring
The guys from Saw Something Scary head out to the Plum Island Animal Disease Research Facility for a nice walk on the beach along side the good Doctor Lecter.The path takes them through Jeff Hates Trailers, stopping briefly to look at new trailers for Cars 3, Amazon's revival of The Tick, Kingsman: The Golden Circle, and Once Upon a Time in Venice. There is also a warning signs about Shut-In and a commendation of Lavender.Soon, though, the party reaches their destination - the world of Jack Graham, Clarice Starling, Jame Gumb and... of course... The Artist Known as Hannibal the Cannibal. In this case, you will see something scary. But will you enjoy it more this time around? Time to find out. Ready when you are, Sergeant Pembrey.
House of Horrors. This, rather than a shot at regaining his title, is what WWE Creative has served up for Bray Wyatt, the Triple S podcast's most esteemed athelete-entertainer. It seems, then, that House of Horrors is an apt description of Bray's Wrestlemania 33 presentation and, sadly, everything thus far subsequently.So we know the lineup for the card. We know that WWE is trying to figure out how to pull off a House of Horrors match. We'll be tuning in to watch whatever they come up with. But will we see something scary?Download and find out!P.S. - Be on the look out for our next episode covering the 1991 classic The Silence of the Lambs; due to timing we had to release this episode first but we're excited to take another look at Lecter with you.
So John Carpenter once made a campy little sci-fi with a professional wrestler as the lead and - what do you know - it became the most lastingly relevant film in the genre. And that's only slightly hyperbolic. Long before Morpheus handed Thomas Anderson a red pill John Nada beat his friend Frank down in a grimy alley so he'd see the world the way it really is. And perhaps, through John, we do too. So slap on your cheap sunglasses, grab some chewing gum, and buckle in for the Triple S review of 1988's They Live. Watch along and you'll see a man walk away from a 30 foot fall through a plate glass window. You'll see thinly veiled indictments of all things capitalist. But will you see something scary?Download and find out!
The guys take a look back at the good (AJ / Shane) and the... well... bad (sadly, Bray Wyatt / Orton) of Wrestlemania 33. Of course they'll also talk about the Undertaker leaving it all in the ring as well as some, shall we say, frustrations about one particular WWE Superstar. If you liked the last SSS [In the Ring] on Bray Wyatt or if you just took the guys' advice and signed up to watch Wyatt wrestle Orton then please give this one a listen. If you didn't hear the last but have at least a passing interest in professional wrestling then we hope you'll find this episode interesting as well. Wrestlemania 33 was the spectacle it was sold as. Those who tuned in saw a show few can rival in terms of pure entertainment value. But did they see something (anything?) scary?Download and find out!
Is it illness or something... darker? That's the question at the center of the story in 2005's The Exorcism of Emily Rose. The guys from the Triple S pod dive in to find the answer, along the way checking out trailers for new films about Tupac Shakur, Heath Ledger, and a TV adaptation of Stephen King's The Mist. There's also a pretty sharp parting of ways on the comparative merits of the Pirates of the Caribbean versus The Fast and The Furious franchises.The journey passes through an isolated and desolate farm before landing in the halls of justice. Look over there and you'll see a very young, very fresh, pre-Dexter Jennifer Carpenter. Or look over there and you'll find a pre-Insidious, pre- Dr. Strange Scott Derrickson. But be careful: you look too long and you might see something scary. Want to know for sure? Download and find out!
