We have friends of the pod Maddy from Minnesota and returning champion David Boswell from the UK to collectively gush about one of the all-time great horror franchises: Scream. We'll get into a little bit of everything from the franchise, INCLUDING SPOILERS, and we'll end with adding insult to injury when Daniel runs through Lindsey's lightning round questions with our guests (stay to the end to hear what their favorite apples are!).

Happy New Year's Eve! Here’s another old full-length bonus episode from 8/3/2015:

“Keeping up with the ghosts-only SLAM DUNK streak, this week we feature ghostly tales from South Dakota, that prairie paradise. Undoubtedly the best Dakota. I'm not even joking, Do I look like I'm joking?! No, dipshit, but I DO look like the kind of person who chooses to go on vacation to South Dakota. That's right: I'm an 80 year-old white biker guy, swathed in leather, eating steak and potatoes for every meal. But anyway, this isn't about me. It's about YOU. And it's about ghosts. (JK it's always about me.) On offer this week: a haunted hotel, a scairt mama's boy, a cowboy stalker, AAAAND a special appearance by the Mailman himself - Kevin Costner.”

Anyway, this week we bring you a very special all-ghost episode of Castle Lingus from Castle Lingus Studio’s Chicago Bureau. Add three new listener submitted tales of terror, some Chicago ghost lore, cryptozoology, our first foray into field reporting, and some grade-A horsin' around, and you’ve got yourself a podcast.

Episode 40 - Halloween by Lindsey and Daniel

BONUS 2: The Exorcist

ghoultalkpod@gmail.com (Lindsey and Daniel) — Mon, 22 Oct 2018 10:00:03 GMT

Join us for another trip down Catholic-themed horror lane with the Grandaddy of All Demonic Possession Movies: The Exorcist. It kind of holds up. Plus Daniel shares devilish details about new scary movies, coming to theatres near you! (If you want to hear Daniel tell the full, true story that inspired the Exorcist, check out Episode 14 of the Castle Lingus archives on our Soundcloud page: https://soundcloud.com/ghoul-talk/castle-lingus-episode-14-the#t=50:29 ).

Episode 39 - The Shining

ghoultalkpod@gmail.com (Lindsey and Daniel) — Mon, 15 Oct 2018 10:00:09 GMT

Is Jack Nicholson a good actor? In the latest installment of Ghoul Talk Movie Club, we revisit film classic The Shining. Daniel gives it his all to stay awake (for you, the fans!), and Lindsey realizes her past viewings missed a LOT. Join us as we explore the skeletons in the lobby, the lady in the bathtub, and all the reasons Stephen King hates this adaptation...

BONUS: Ghostwatch

ghoultalkpod@gmail.com (Lindsey and Daniel) — Tue, 09 Oct 2018 10:00:09 GMT

A bonus in name, but Ghostwatch is truly a main event. On Halloween night in 1992, the BBC presented a fictitious documentary about a haunted house that many viewers took to be real. The ensuing widespread panic and outrage—as well as one sad tragic death—long prevented the release of Ghostwatch, which only became available in the UK in 2002, and then again in 2011. Despite its unintended reception, Ghostwatch is a horror tour de force destined for classic status (even WITH the shoulder-padded t-shirt and enormous hair bow!) [Editor’s note: BECAUSE OF the shoulder-padded t-shirt and enormous hair bow.]

Plus AppleTalk news and updates on the much-anticipated Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark movie.

Episode 37 - The Omen

ghoultalkpod@gmail.com (Lindsey and Daniel) — Tue, 18 Sep 2018 10:00:16 GMT

You have been warned: 60-year-old Gregory Peck still had it. In this episode, Lindsey's fond childhood nightmares of this Catholic Horror "classic" are much changed with adult re-watching. Come for the Son of Satan, but stay for the 1976 flavor and (in)famous death scenes!

Episode 36 - Poltergeist

ghoultalkpod@gmail.com (Lindsey and Daniel) — Tue, 04 Sep 2018 00:00:00 GMT
