horrorcatswitchhats
Two friends who grew up loving witch craft and all things creepy take a deep dive into the spooky, murderous, and magical side of film and tv. While one is a horror-enthusiast, the other continues to be afraid of the dark.
We are back at it...but slowly - so we are starting out with an episode of AHS Coven, Episode 3: Replacements.
We have switched our hosting site. Video recordings are now available on Spotify. No other audio should be effected if you are listening from a different site. Please let us know if you experience issues otherwise.
Many Meows, Kittens.

Talk to Me is an A24 film and the directorial debut of the Philippou brothers. We have to admit, it is a good one and we look forward to more horror from them. This film covers a grieving daughter and her friends who become addicted to possession via a hand said to be cut from medium. Although we never get to know the true story behind the hand, we do dive into the darks themes and theories surrounding this story. So when you are ready, say out loud "Talk to me" and press play wherever you are listening.

Jennifer's Body is full of one-liners, pretty people, and a virgin sacrifice that leads to gruesome murders. Just a typical day in high school.

Thank you for this listener recommendation! The main topic of this episode: is Skin Walkers actually a werewolf movie? We will start with some background about the First Nation's lore of Skinwalkers (or husk pedestrians if you prefer), along with some helpful tips provided by the internet to either avoid or become a skinwalker - you decide.

For this episode Izzie invites you to take cat nap and lap up some coffee (or other drink) while you listen to some inspired fan fiction. Izzie selected 4 short fan fiction stories related to Jeepers Creepers, John Carpenter's Halloween, and The Lost Boys.
There's a little smut, a lot of creativity, and a dash of listener reviews to enjoy.

For this 30-ish meow-nets we go over 4 tv shows we watched as kids and the awfully dark theories that people have come up with. Such theories include lots of death, mental illness, drug abuse, and the idea that Bikini Bottom is the result of nuclear waste.
If watched Winnie the Pooh, The Rugrats, Courage the Cowardly Dog, or Spongebob Squarepants then you may want to listen for a whole new perspective.

What a glorious day for another episode of Horror, Cats, and Witch hats. Makes us...not sick?
We kept it light and breezy this episode after the doozy that was Hereditary with the 1993 Disney cult classis, Hocus Pocus. Don't worry, Izzie still managed to find multiple pages of research covering behind the scenes, theories, and history.

This is a big one! Not only in length but in the history of Horror, Cats, and Witch hats as we had the absolute pleasure to host Lucy from the incredible true crime and comedy podcast, Wine and Crime (available where you listen https://wineandcrimepodcast.com/ and @wineandcrimepod).
She chose Hereditary as our featured Halloween film and what a great pick it was! In typical Ari Aster fashion the cup over-floweth with easter eggs and historical details. Don't worry, we talk about most if not all of them.
Send us your next movie recommendation, your thoughts on this film, or cat photos and it may get featured on the next episode!

Ginger Snaps (2000)
As Caity has mentioned before this is her favorite werewolf film. We talk about the inspirations, the werewolf boobs, the historic werewolf trials, and of course, the werewolf boobies.
This episode was recorded a while ago, but due to technical difficulties is posted late. Izzie will do better on German time from now on...although we make no guarantees.

We are back with our last holiday episode, originally intended for release in 2022...so here it is.
This new Shudder original certainly brings a whole new aesthetic to Christmas movies with all the gore, murderous Santa bots, neon, sex, and metal. Personally, I (Izzie) would love to see a Tori Tooms archeology/horror mash up. With a name like that, how could she not dig up wild artifacts?

We are back to add haunts to your dreams.
This film is a cult classic that just got it's first theater release this year (2022) despite being first shown in 2007. Michael Dougherty's horror comedy anthology is full of twists so be sure to watch the film first if you want to avoid spoilers! We also talk about some new and upcoming releases to get excited about, the truth behind the candy poisoning lore, and the top selling costumes over the years.

Cabin in the Woods (2011) is our favorite satirical love letter to the genre that is horror.
In part one, we talk about the plot with some fun facts sprinkled in, and finish with the graveyard which is the most extensive we have done yet. If we learned anything it is to make sure our cousins actually exist before we accept their vacation offers.

Welcome to another 30-ish meow-nets! We actually for got to start the 30 minute timer so you, lucky listener, get a little bit extra.
This episode focuses on some random every day things we didn't know had witchy or supernatural origins. From baby teeth to sweeping and the first bottled aphrodisiac (spoiler it hails from Egypt, they were a wild bunch). It's a random list, but a fun one!

20 years ago the J-horror Dark Water was released, followed 3 years later by the American version Dark Water (2005). They are both based on a short story written by the author of The Ring.
We also touch on the mysterious case of Elisa Lam mostly to point out the coincidental similarities between her death in 2013 and the 2005 film.

"Miss Davis plays the looniest character in the place, which is an old porticoed plantation mansion set off in the Louisiana fields.
