Ep 44: The Old Ways This week we get together to talk about the 2020 Mexican folk horror flick, The Old Ways. Follow us on Instagram @ToAvoidFaintingPodcast /episode/index/show/toavoidfainting/id/29722858

Ep 43: Terror Train 01/02/2024

Ep 43: Terror Train HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!! We're a day late because that day after NYE is always rough, but we're bringing you a movie that makes its away on a lot of NYE horror watchlists when it probably shouldn't be?? We're ushering in 2024 with 1980's Terror Train! Follow us on Instagram @ToAvoidFaintingPodcast /episode/index/show/toavoidfainting/id/29314583

Ep 42: Jack Frost 12/25/2023

Ep 42: Jack Frost Merry Christmas from us here at TAF! This week we switched it up from our planned Christmas movie to something worse: Jack Frost. Not to be confused with the Michael Keaton one, which honestly, probably could be a horror movie on its own.

Ep 41: Candyman 12/15/2023

Ep 41: Candyman This week we get together and talk about 1992's Candyman. Yes, there's a cricket chirping in the background the entire time. No, there's nothing we could do about it. Nature is gonna nature. But enjoy us talking over it and having a good time! Check out episode 9 where we talked about 2021's Candyman!

Ep 40: Barbarian 12/05/2023

Ep 40: Barbarian This week we're talking 2022's Barbarian! It's a bit of a long-winded one but that's only because we had lots of important things to talk about...like...Bill Skarsgard. Oh, and things like aged breast milk, Mr Wizard vs Bill Nye, and our usual tangents peppered throughout. And Lauren continues to say all the unhinged things.

Ep 39: Dracula (English & Spanish Versions) We're back this week with a long-awaited pick from Ash where we discuss both the American and Spanish versions of 1931's Dracula. Did y'alSl even know there was a Spanish version? Better yet, did y'all even know they were both filmed at the same time using the same sets? Listen and find out all about it!

Ep 37: Lunopolis 07/17/2023

Ep 37: Lunopolis This week Stacey and Ash get together once again with guest host, Chris, to talk about the underseen and underrated(depends on who you're asking) sci-fi, time travel flick Lunopolis. It's not a TAF episode if you don't hear every sound possible in Stacey's background and if there was a moon colony, would they be cousin-fuckers (I think we all know who asks this question)? /episode/index/show/toavoidfainting/id/27480546

Ep 36: Coherence 06/20/2023

Ep 36: Coherence This week we're talking about 2013's underseen sci-fi mindbender, Coherence! (Full disclosure: we recorded this ep back in 2022 but completely forgot to post it, so here you are!) Ash can't stop talking about orgies. Stacey is terrified of her doppelganger. Lauren would beat the shit out of her double given the chance. What do you do when a comet passes over your town and decides to start switching up alternate dimensions on you?

Ep 35: Grave Encounters 06/05/2023

Ep 35: Grave Encounters This week we're talking about everybody's favorite mock-ghost hunting found footage flick, 2011's Grave Encounters. Would you just lay down and die or try to survive if you were stuck in a haunted asylum where time just decided to not exist and warp-faced ghouls chased you? Listen to find out what Stacey, Lauren, and Ash think (it's about what you'd expect.) Follow us on Instagram @ToAvoidFaintingPodcast /episode/index/show/toavoidfainting/id/27039567

Ep 34: Free For All 05/22/2023

Ep 34: Free For All This week Ash and I had on a guest to join us in a random mix bag of topics. We talk Ash's premature Halloween decorating and his sliding scale for how he gives out candy. We also talk about movies we've seen lately from Scream 6 to Evil Dead Rise, long movies (Stacey still hates them), the insane Mac and Me ending that should have been, and what movies that are coming soon that we'd like to see. Of course we get off track by the end, but that's the fun of it all. Follow us on Instagram @ToAvoidFaintingPodcast /episode/index/show/toavoidfainting/id/26906985

Ep 31: Insidious 01/25/2023

Ep 31: Insidious We're back this week with a TAF favorite. We talk 2011's INSIDIOUS and of course it's not without our usual musings on things such as Stacey and Lauren's mutual love/obession?? for Patrick Wilson, what our favorite scariest part of the film is, and what's not the best meal to have after being held captive by a demon for several months.

Ep 30: The Blob 01/16/2023

Ep 30: The Blob This week we're sitting down to talk about 1988's squish-tastic remake of THE BLOB.

Ep 29: Trick r Treat WE'RE BACK! Oh, an unexpected TAF disappearance, nothing y'all haven't weathered before!

Ep 27: Son 09/22/2022

Ep 27: Son This week we're joined by our special guest, John, from Under The Floorboards podcast! We gave him free reign to pick a movie, and now we're here, with a flick from Shudder, 2021's SON. Ash is inappropriate as usual, Lauren and I weigh the pros and cons (pros mostly) about mothering the Antichrist, and John probably wonders the whole time how he ended up here with us.

Ep 25: Little Shop of Horrors This week Ash decides he hates Stacey and subjects her to one of her biggest dislikes: musicals. We're talking about 1986's Little Shop of Horrors. We discuss the awkwardness of domestic violence being a comedic point of the film, the wildly different endings, Stacey's inability to sit through a musical number without fast forwarding, and we realize all roads eventually lead to Rule #34 (IFYKYK).

Ep 24: As Above, So Below 08/22/2022

Ep 24: As Above, So Below This week we sit down and talk about one of Stacey and Lauren's favorite found-footage flicks, AS ABOVE, SO BELOW. This little archeological hellish nightmare had us discussing Ash's distaste for the idea of the Philosophers Stone, how long we would actually survive in this situation (spoiler: NOT LONG), and what would be appropriate cave-exploring packing.

Ep 22: Blow Out We're back! Stacey's immune system wanted to betray her last week, so there was no new episode, but we're back with Mike's pick this time! We sit down together and talk about 1981's political/conspiracy thriller, BLOW OUT. We discuss John Travolta in his heyday, weak female character writing, the pure bleakness of the ending, and another week where Mike and Ash want to disown Stacey for not seeing certain movies.

Ep 20: The Black Phone 07/13/2022

Ep 20: The Black Phone We're joined once again this week by guest host, Lauren, to help us talking about Blumhouse's latest horror flick, THE BLACK PHONE.
