NEW EPISODE: SAM WAS HERE (2016)
John and Mandi put on button up shirts and grab their bag of samples for 2016’s SAM WAS HERE! When a door-to-door salesman travels through the American south, it becomes apparent that something is amiss. Soon, he (and we) are drawn into a surreal and terrifying fight for survival against masked killers, murderous talk radio hosts and a baleful red star in the sky. How will it all end?
NEW EPISODE: SPUTNIK (2020)
Mandi and John put on furry hats and sneak past the Iron Curtain for 2020’s SPUTNIK! At the height of the Cold War, a Russian space mission ends tragically when all but one of its crew die during its return from orbit. But when a controversial doctor is brought in to care for the lone survivor, she finds that something else might have fallen to earth along with the cosmonauts. Can she (and we) survive against shapeshifting xenomorphs fueled by fear and a totalitarian government that demands their silence at any cost?
NEW EPISODE: THE HOLE (2009)
Mandi and John grab their cardboard boxes and packing tape as they move into 2009’s THE HOLE. When two brothers find a mysteriously locked trapdoor in their new home, their curiosity leads them (and us) into a terrifying world of clown dolls, bleeding-eye children and deep psychological scarring. Can they get to the bottom of the mysterious HOLE, or will they be destroyed by fear itself?

NEW EPISODE: JACK’S BACK (1988)
Mandi and John are going on a hooker killing adventure with 1988’s JACK’S BACK. After a string of murders from a copycat Jack the Ripper killer surface in Los Angeles, only one man can stop him… but it’s not the one you think. Will we survive this hooker/random nice guy/attempted nice girl killing spree?
NEW EPISODE: THE RITUAL (2017)
Mandi and John put on their hiking boots and get out their compass for 2017’s THE RITUAL! After the death of their friend, 4 men go on one last trip in his memory. But after a few wrong turns they find themselves hunted by something terrifying. Can they (and we) survive guilt ridden dreams, immortal Norwegian hillbillies, and antlered demigods?
NEW EPISODE: END OF DAYS (1999)
As this year comes to a close, we here at ESat3AM shove 2020 unceremoniously out the door with 1999’s END OF DAYS. Can they (and we) survive against villainous Vatican knights, sadistic satanists and the corruptive come-on’s from ol’ Scratch himself?
NEW EPISODE: ELVES (1989)
Ho, ho, ho, and Merry Scares-mas to everyone! We here at ESat3AM want to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and hope that your yuletide is full of comfort and joy without any attacks from horribly rubber masked brownies like those in 1989’s ELVES! When a young woman is chased by some pernicious pixies, it’s up to a washed out detective to save the holiday season and perhaps the world! Can he (and we) festively fight against supremacist sidhe, busted bobbles and just general holiday horrors?
NEW EPISODE: LORD OF ILLUSIONS (1995)
John finally watches a film featured in so many magazines and comics in his youth, 1995’s LORD OF ILLUSIONS! When a detective stumbles into a case dealing with the occult, he’s drawn ever further into a web of misdirection and magic. Can he (and we) contend with flying swords, reanimated wizards and mid 90’s CGI? And will John ever be able to say the title correctly?
