The Ring

Brian and Maria discuss John Carpenter's landmark, claustrophobic body-horror masterpiece The Thing. As you can tell, Brian wrote this description, and not some of the other members of this episode's panel.

The Thing

Wes Craven's seminal slasher classic gets a second look with fresh eyes from the Is It Still Scary panel.

A Nightmare on Elm Street

Wes Craven's sly, self-aware slasher update for the 90's gets a fond look back from the Is It Still Scary? panel.

Scream

Since 2008, the LA-based filmmakers known as 5-Second Films have churned out unique, lightning-fast micro-comedy and sketches, with thousands of videos netting millions of views. Working with performers from Patton Oswalt to Weird Al Yankovic, the group has since expanded their repertoire to include podcasts and their 2015 feature film debut, "Dude Bro Party Massacre 3."

The podcast "Is It Still Scary," hosted by 5SF's Brian & Maria, takes a small panel of film enthusiasts and dives into horror movies from every decade and subgenre, to determine whether their ability to scare has waned over the years, or if they're as chilling as ever. The discussion is wide-ranging, thoughtful, lively, and sometimes completely off-topic in the best of ways.
