Paranormal
Released on 04/20/2017
This week the Horror Junkies got together in an old building in Downtown Orlando, to discuss the Paranormal. Unfortunately, Austin couldn't make it to the show this week, but our good friend Jake joined us. Jake is the type of person who carries a VHS copy of ET and Dark Crystal with him, and probably knows more about the ET Franchise than Steven Spielberg. Jake will definitely by back on the show, with more to share with our listeners. On this week's Horror History Mike talks about the Ancient recorded accounts of Ghost sighting starting as far back as 950BC in the book of Samuel.
We didn't have a Versus segment this week, well because we thought it would be kind of ridiculous to have to ghost fight each other, because they would never die. So in it's place we decided to have an interview with Robert and Rebecca from American Ghost Adventures (americanghostadventures.com) on a separate show. While we were doing our show, we started to hear noises coming from the building, which added to our experience at The Great Escape Room, after hours. As usual we'd like to thank all of our listeners and as always Stay Weird.
American Ghost Adventure's Interview
Released on 04/20/2017
After the show, we had our first ever Horror Junkies Exclusive Interview. We had the pleasure of talking to Robert and Rebecca from American Ghost Adventures join us on the show for a quick interview, before we turned off the lights to try and talk to ghost. If you would like to find out more information about American Ghost Adventures, you can check out http://americanghostadventures.com/. When we turned off the lights, things started getting a bit more intense. American Ghost Adventures, had EMF detectors, flash lights, and a device called a REM Pod, that has an antenna sticking out from the base, which gives off a loud noise if anything comes in contact.
After about an hour of walking around in the dark, we had our first encounter. In the room called the Library, a flashlight turned on and then turned off. We made contact, or tried to establish a line of communication, and we found out that this entity was called Max. Our host Mike would become overwhelmed with emotion and also become very cold. It's not doubt that something happened last night, but what was actually there is beyond us.
Body Horror
Released on 04/13/2017
On this week's episode the Horror Junkies get together to discuss body horror. This genre of Horror movies, is a close favorite to all of us and we could not wait to start talking about it. We start the show off by describing what body horror really means, and discuss some of our favorite movies that fall into this are of horror.
In our Horror Junkies News segment, Patrick tells us about some upcoming tv shows being released soon. Spike Tv is giving us it's version of Stephan King's The Mist and Netflix, the show giant, is giving us an Addams Family show. Two shows the Horror Junkies are can't wait to sink their teeth into.
Today in Horror History, we found out that there was a 1979 Horror release titled Nosferatu the Vampyre directed by Werner Herzog, surprising enough, this movie has an 94% on Rotten Tomatoes. Also released was the 1940 Black Friday, directed by Arthur Lubin, and start Boris Karloff.
In our Versus segment we pitted The Thing (1982) against Grant (Slither) in probably the grossest sounding fight you can imagine. We won't go any further in saying who we thought would win, your just going to have to listen and find out.
As usual, we love hearing from our listeners and if you have anything that you would love to add to our show, feel free to email us at [email protected].

We each talked about our favorite Vampire movie, what we love about them, and Alex also hit the Horror Junkies with a pretty tough question that left us tongue tied. As usual, Patrick discusses what's going on in the horror community and Mike brought some interesting history about the discourse surrounding the century old beings that walk the night. And on this week's Versus we had Blade up against Selene. The twitter poll (@HorrorJunkiesFl) ended with Blade winning the fight, and even in the Horror Junkies Studio, he was the winner, but there was a surprise match.
