This week, we’re firing up the chainsaw and diving into one of the most influential horror films of all time: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974). Whether you love it, hate it, or simply respect its place in horror history, there’s no denying the cultural impact of Leatherface’s grim, gritty debut.We break down the dinner scene that feels like a fever dream you can’t wake up from, the wild behind-the-scenes stories that make the movie somehow even more unhinged, and why this sun-baked nightmare still crawls under your skin after all these years. And of course…we air out some very strong, very justified feelings about Franklin. Join us for a fun, unhinged, deeply horror-nerdy breakdown of a movie that shaped the entire genre.Tangents Include: Why November 1st should officially be Horror New Year’s Day, our complete and utter disdain for Franklin, peeing in a can (yes… it came up), and much more!Don't forget to subscribe, rate, and follow us on social media for more horror goodness!The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)Director: Tobe HooperTawny's Rating: 2.5/5Miriam's Rating: 3/5Send us a textSupport the showAll things TCHF: https://linktr.ee/twochicksandahorrorflickSupport the Show:Join our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/twochicksandahorrorflickTCHF shop: https://twochicks.threadless.com/designs/podcast-cover-art/Connect with Us:Join our horror community on Discord: https://discord.gg/8WBByTQPFXWatch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@twochicksandahorrorflickFollow us on Social:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/twochicksandahorrorflickFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/twochicksandahorrorflickTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@twochicksandahorrorflickTwitter: https://twitter.com/twochicksHF Send us your reviews, thoughts, and recommendations: [email protected] or visit our site https://www.twochicksandahorrorflick.com/

For our last Timeless Terror episode we explore witches with the German film Hagazussa. Surprisingly this was the director's debut and a student graduation film. This is one story that's hard to separate the folklore from reality which made for an interesting discussion. Tangents include: religion, caffeine, and history.Hagazussa (2017) Director: Lukas FeigelfeldTawny’s rating: 3.5/5 Miriam’s rating: 3.2/5Send us a textSupport the showAll things TCHF: https://linktr.ee/twochicksandahorrorflickSupport the Show:Join our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/twochicksandahorrorflickTCHF shop: https://twochicks.threadless.com/designs/podcast-cover-art/Connect with Us:Join our horror community on Discord: https://discord.gg/8WBByTQPFXWatch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@twochicksandahorrorflickFollow us on Social:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/twochicksandahorrorflickFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/twochicksandahorrorflickTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@twochicksandahorrorflickTwitter: https://twitter.com/twochicksHF Send us your reviews, thoughts, and recommendations: [email protected] or visit our site https://www.twochicksandahorrorflick.com/

In this week’s episode, we’re diving into one of few modern horror slashers — Terrifier. Directed by Damien Leone, this blood-soaked indie became a cult favorite thanks to its sadistic villain, Art the Clown, and its unapologetically brutal approach to slasher horror. Tangents include: The Indifferent Stars Above (a non-fiction book about the Donner Party) and the new Monster: Ed Gein Story Netflix series. This is a pretty catch up heavy episode, so if you want to skip to the movie discussion go to 27:50.  Terrifier (2016)Director: Damien LeoneTawny’s rating: 1.25/5Miriam’s rating: 2.7/5Send us a textSupport the showAll things TCHF: https://linktr.ee/twochicksandahorrorflickSupport the Show:Join our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/twochicksandahorrorflickTCHF shop: https://twochicks.threadless.com/designs/podcast-cover-art/Connect with Us:Join our horror community on Discord: https://discord.gg/8WBByTQPFXWatch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@twochicksandahorrorflickFollow us on Social:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/twochicksandahorrorflickFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/twochicksandahorrorflickTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@twochicksandahorrorflickTwitter: https://twitter.com/twochicksHF Send us your reviews, thoughts, and recommendations: [email protected] or visit our site https://www.twochicksandahorrorflick.com/

This week we’re diving headfirst into the eerie world of underground Russian occultism with the Philippou brothers’ latest film, Bring Her Back. Known for their breakout hit Talk to Me, the brothers return with another grief-soaked, nerve-shredding horror that has us obsessed. We explore the shared themes of grief, possession, and loss... and ask: are these two films connected in other ways?

This week, we jam through Ryan Coogler’s ambitious vampire blues-horror set in 1932 Mississippi. Sinners isn’t your average blood-sucker flick—it’s a visceral, soulful tale of identity, community, and the cost of cultural exploitation. Its lush visuals, haunting blues score, and powerful performances—especially Michael B. Jordan’s dual turn—make it one memorable ride. Tangents include: Tacotopia, incels, fireflies, Tawny’s Nope-like work event, and how to use ChatGPT to cut back (or quiet) alcohol! Trust us—this one sinks its teeth in.Sinners (2025)Director: Ryan CooglerTawny’s rating: 3.89/5Miriam’s rating: 4.85/5Send us a textSupport the showAll things TCHF: https://linktr.ee/twochicksandahorrorflickSupport the Show:Join our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/twochicksandahorrorflickTCHF shop: https://twochicks.threadless.com/designs/podcast-cover-art/Connect with Us:Join our horror community on Discord: https://discord.gg/8WBByTQPFXWatch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@twochicksandahorrorflickFollow us on Social:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/twochicksandahorrorflickFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/twochicksandahorrorflickTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@twochicksandahorrorflickTwitter: https://twitter.com/twochicksHF Send us your reviews, thoughts, and recommendations: [email protected] or visit our site https://www.twochicksandahorrorflick.com/
