We’re not aliens, we’re discontent.
For the final installment of this season’s Randy’s Recs, which finds the Halloweenies dissecting a film that inspired the Scream franchise, the gang heads to Ohio. No, not Springwood, but the small town of Herrington, where young Midwestern teens are having close encounters with the third kind. The only way to stop ’em? Designer drugs.
You guessed it: We’re talking about The Faculty.
Released on Christmas Day in 1998, Kevin Williamson and Robert Rodriguez‘s sci-fi teen thriller capitalized on the Scream wave with a new genre and a killer cast of Hollywood hotties — from Clea DuVall to Josh Harnett, Elijah Wood to Usher. Although not as successful as its slasher predecessor, The Faculty has since become a beloved cult classic — and, more importantly, is a vital detour when discussing the Scream franchise altogether.
Join co-hosts Justin Gerber, Michael Roffman, Mike Vanderbilt, and Mac Gerber in the lab as they dissect this specimen. Together, they theorize on What-if scenarios involving Williamson’s career, the pros and cons of conformity, whether or not Mary Beth is a tragic character, and, naturally, the film’s unstoppable ’90s soundtrack. Needless to say, the gang doesn’t let up, delivering an epic episode that’s guaranteed to jack you up.
Stream the whole thing below or via iTunes/Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, RadioPublic, Acast, Google Podcasts, and RSS. Don’t go away, though, as the Halloweenies will return yet again to Woodsboro, California in January to slice and dice through the highly anticipated fifth Scream, which they’ve properly dubbed 5-cream.
New to the Halloweenies? Catch up with the gang by revisiting their essential episodes on past franchises such as Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, and this year’s Scream. You can also become a member of their Patreon for hilarious commentaries and one-off episodes, including their recent deep dive on 2019’s Black Christmas.

We’re nearly ready to wrap up December – and 2021!
It’s been another silly month on the podcast, including episodes on the bizarre queer antichrist/oatmeal zombie film Fear No Evil (1981), David Fincher’s feel bad holiday film The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (2011) and the queerest superhero film of all time, Batman Returns (1992). Plus: I had the chance to interview esteemed professor Harry M. Benshoff about the state of queer horror!
Now it’s time to celebrate Scream on its 25th anniversary and reflect back on the third year of Horror Queers! Both are special occasions: one is arguably the most important contemporary horror film of the last quarter-century, while the other is a more personal reflection for Trace and me about making the third year of the podcast. Plus: bloopers!
Be sure to subscribe to the podcast to get a new episode every Wednesday. You can subscribe on iTunes/Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, iHeartRadio, SoundCloud, TuneIn, Amazon Music, Acast, Google Podcasts, and RSS.
Episode 157 – 25 Reasons We Love Scream
In honor of the 25th anniversary of Kevin Williamson and Wes Craven’s genre-defining 90s classic, we’re revisiting Scream (1996). Unlike our former Main Feed and Patreon Audio Commentary episodes, though, this is a list of our 25+ favorite moments, lines of dialogue, characters and actors, shots, music cues and everything else. It may not be definitive or scientific, but it sure is a lot of fun!
Bonus – 2021 Year in Review + Bloopers
It’s almost the end of the year and we’re somehow still releasing episodes, but this one is a fun one for all of you! After a brief reflection on the previous year, we have decided to gift everyone with some delightful bloopers to get everyone in the holiday spirit. There will be flubs. There will be cursing. There will be fun! So kick back and get ready to laugh with one of our most casual episodes to date!
Cross out Scream and Bloopers!
Coming up on Wednesday: We’re closing out 2021 with the 35th anniversary of the very silly (and homoerotic) Witchboard!
P.S. Subscribe to our Patreon for tons of additional content! This month, we will have episodes on Nightmare Alley, Initiation, Silent Night and a minisode on trailers that are way better than the movies they’re advertising. Plus, as a holiday present, an audio commentary on Gremlins!
