SPOILER-FREE SYNOPSIS

We begin in an asylum for the criminally insane.  A man in a straitjacket is hauled into the facility and thrown into a padded cell.  Visited by a psychiatrist, the man begins telling his story, while acknowledging that something awful is happening in the outside world.  We flash back: renowned horror writer Sutter Cane has disappeared.  Seeking to locate Cane, and collect his new novel, In the Mouth of Madness, the head of Arcane publishing, Jackson Harglow, hires crack Insurance investigator John Trent – a man with a nose for frauds and whose skepticism seemingly knows no bounds.  Trent has already run into a spot of trouble – after reading a couple chapters of Cane’s latest, Cane’s agent becomes an axe-wielding maniac who crashes through the window of a local café where Trent is dining.  The why, for now, is left unexplained, but as we learn, Cane’s novels have strange, disorienting effect on its quote less stable readers.  Soon, Trent and Cane’s editor, Linda Styles, head to Hobb’s End, New Hampshire, where they infer Cane is living.  Trent and Styles discover a place that seems almost too quaint to be real, and almost immediately, a terrible secret that upends Trent’s life as he knows it, and has major repercussions for Sutter Cane fans worldwide.

Scare U

In the Mouth of Madness (1995)

Ding Ding Ding! Get ready to listen to mommy and daddy fight over this one. Is this 1973 classic unforgivably boring or hilariously chaotic? The power of Christ compels you to listen to this episode.

Ep117 - The Exorcist (1973) *revisited*

A most deserving winner of our 'Horror That Isn't Technically Horror" poll, and arguably the most critically acclaimed film we've ever reviewed. Parasite is fast-paced, chaotic, anxiety-inducing, infuriating, thought-provoking, and hilarious. But who is the true 'parasite' here?

Ep118 - Parasite

The hot GenZ Agatha Christie murder satire you've been waiting for.
