Shudder Bugs

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992) When did we record this? Where am I? Who is this? You want camp? We’ve got camp. You want to get very drunk, maybe even die? Take a shot every time Sam calls Luke Perry Matthew Perry. Literally. Good luck.

Alien (1979) Can it be? Is it true? Are we back?!? YES! And we definitely both watched Alien and definitely got drunk about it. You know it’s why you love us. Grab your favourite tea drink but with vodka in it and lets slide on back to 1979…

Cold Skin (2017) Y’all ready for some WET ASS FUSHY? Because we weren’t! Get down and dirty with us in the latest and greatest. We talk fucking gill holes, soaking and jumping, and our new fav: WAF. Oh yeah, and we’re up to the gills in liquor… Grab your favourite salty sea drink and join us!

Kaeley and Sam are back at it again with two WILD Canadian stories. From Inuit cults, to Yukon beheadings, we’ve got it all for you. Grab your fanciest of cocktails (or boxiest of wines) and join us in another episode of Hello Creeps, Canada!

This week Samantha brings you a holiday appropriate short story by E. F. Benson. Part of his short story anthology “The Room in the Tower and Other Stories,” Between the Lights is a tale to keep you on your toes and maybe just a little bit out of your mind. You’ll want a hot drink for this one! We recommend a hot toddy

Little Shop of Horrors (1960) Would it be a drunken horror watching Shudder Bugs episode if there weren’t technical and sound issues? I don’t think so, so that’s what we’re bringing you this week! This might not be the Little Shop of Horrors musical, but we’ll still sing for you. Big Al returns as guest host extraordinaire. Surprise guest Noah finally makes an appearance! See, we told you he exists… Grab a knock-off cocktail and a carnation to snack on and follow us down!

Ya girls are finally back and at it in our new segment Hello Creeps, Canada! We’ve got two absolutely wild tales for you today. First, Sam will tell you all about the very recent double murder in Winnipeg and attempted murder at Seven Oaks Hospital. Kaeley follows up with an absolutely wild tale of a US/Canadian serial killer from the early 1900s (known as the Dark Strangler and other nicknames that’ll have you shaking in your boots). Grab a midnight or morning mimosa and follow us on down!

The Raven (1845) Welcome back to Shudder Bugs Shorts! This week Samantha is bringing you one of the most classic horror shorts, The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe. It’s spooky, a little sad, and a lot harder to read aloud than you might think, but makes for a great little tale to start November. Grab yourselves your fav hot drink and dive on in.

Creep (2014) It’s Halloween, baby! Lordy a lot has happened in the last… too long, but we’re back for your ear holes, a nice long tubby for you to enjoy. Fair warning, we recorded this episode before the world fell apart, back when there was innocence and we only cared about how many d*cks we could see on TV at any given time. Back before Megan found a new (way better, way bigger d*cked bf), before Sam had a whole entire baby (seriously, she grew a human), and before Kaeley got married (ol Davey, now Mr. Shudder Bae)! (See, a lot has happened…) Grab yourselves a big ol drink, for old time sake, and dive on in! We’re here for you

The Cremation of Sam McGee and More Welcome to the first ever HELLO CREEPS CANADA! Our brothers from other mothers way down in ol NJ have kindly let us hop on their creepy bandwagon and we are HERE for it. This episode features spooky tales from Northern Canada and a childhood favourite poem, The Cremation of Sam McGee (Robert W. Service, 1907). We get deep into what life is like in Canadian winters and why Sam McGee maybe had it right getting burned up crisp! Grab a drink and take a chilly stroll with us.

Hello old friends! Welcome back to Shudder Bugs! Today is just a little diddy for y’all, something new to try out. This episode is a short story, part of a new series we’d like to start doing. Drop us a line if you have any spooky or spoopy stories you’d like to hear! After all, ’tis the season

Christmas Presence (2018) Tonight’s the last night of the year, so we’re giving you more Christmas cheer…s because we’re obviously already drunk. Reading is hard, writing is harder, here’s the breakdown you hunks: intimate ghost sex cabins in the woods OooOOooOoo insane couch fears So here’s the to do, to ensure that you too, are getting on our level: snuggle up close to the fire pop 3 – 7 bottles celebrate with our sweet and sultry voices in your ears See you in January! (Rhyming is not our strong suit…) https://shudder-bugs.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/dec.-14-xmas-presence.mp3

Christmas Evil (1980) Prepare your back doors because Santa is coming down your chimney tonight! Just kidding. He’s already in your bed tucking you in like nighty night and you all know what that means. Its Santa Daddy Big Al taking care of all your Christmas needs. In this episode he flies us off on a wild eggnog filled adventure with his second favourite Christmas movie of all time. So fill up your mug with hot cocoa, creme de menthe, and vodka, because its about to get seasonal. https://shudder-bugs.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/nov.-30-big-al-et-al.mp3

All the Creatures Were Stirring (2018) If you like Christmas classics such as The Grinch, Charlie Brown, and National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation then be prepared to add another to your beloved list after watching this masterpiece. We creep on an office party, shop til we drop, get some sweet sweet revenge, move through a cocaine fever dream, and rage with space creatures. What more could you possibly want?!?!?!?! So take a shot every time we laugh and you’ll be flying like Santa’s sleigh right along with us! Or you might be dead… https://shudder-bugs.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/nov.-25-all-the-creatures-were-stirring.mp3

Frozen (2010) TUCK AND ROLL! No, but seriously, tuck and roll if you’re going to jump from a high point. Oh, and if you’re in the wilderness are there are wild wolves (that I can only assume must be rabid because of their totally unnatural behaviour), make a lot of noise. They should just leave you alone. Unless you’re unlucky enough to be in the movie Frozen (no, not that Frozen). Welcome to our podcasty winter wonderland! Grab some rum and eggnog, a hot toddy, an Irish coffee, or maybe a North End shot, or even all of the above, and dive on into this snow pile with us. https://shudder-bugs.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/nov.-13-frozen.mp3    

The Amityville Murders (2018) The Amityville murders are a mystery that may never be solved, but this 2018 film tries to portray what that night may have looked like. Unfortunately, you’ll need to be drunker than we got to enjoy it! You’re better off watching the 2005 Amityville Horror because at least you get to enjoy a topless Ryan Reynolds. Grab a drink (you’re gonna need it) and follow us on this incredibly lacklustre journey! https://shudder-bugs.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/nov-3-amityville-murders.mp3      

Practical Magic (1998) All I’ve ever wanted was someone to wake me up with midnight margaritas! That and to have magical powers and a baller house. Well, we can’t all have it all, but we can watch movies and pretend! Not a typical horror movie, but definitely one of your gals’ favourites. Grab some vodka and follow us down into this classic ’90s witchy film!   https://shudder-bugs.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/nov-3-practical-magic.mp3

House of 1000 Corpses (2003) Welcome to the final day of Halloween ‘19! This episode features some background guests and your totally usual hosts just with colds… that’s why we sound so different! We’re hitting you with a classic horror today to celebrate the final Halloween of the two-thousand teens. Drink up! This one is a wild ride.   https://shudder-bugs.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/oct.-31-house-of-1000-corpses.mp3  

Urban Legend (1998) Sometimes, in the midst of recording a Halloween extravaganza, your guest doesn’t make it through the movie. Ever the champ, though, our good friend and special guest this week rallied through to the bitter end! If you’ve ever wondered how related the size of your hair is to how crazy you are, this movie might have the answer. Grab some vodka (maybe not too much of it this time) and come on down with us! https://shudder-bugs.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/oct-30-urban-legend.mp3

All Hallows’ Eve (2013) Have you ever stumbled upon an ancient abandoned pool that has a bit of swamp water remaining at the bottom?  Have you ever inspected that further and found something beneath the gross and disgusting murky mess? Have you gotten close enough to the putrid liquid to see the nasty outline of heavily used clown panties? If yes, then this is the movie for you. If not, don’t bother watching it. But, if you insist, grab a drink and dive on in to #3 in the HALLOWEEN 2019 COUNTDOWN!   https://shudder-bugs.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/oct-29-all-hallows-eve.mp3
