Wednesday Oct 31, 2018
Wednesday Oct 31, 2018
Pull into the Freak Out Drive-In, a live watch horror podcast with host Jennifer Smith. In this bonus Halloween episode, Jenny welcomes Stacey O'Loughlin to watch Scream.
Nothing screams (get it?) 90s horror quite like Wes Craven's Scream. Jenny and Stacey talk about which character they would be in the movie, how late Australia is in celebrating Halloween, and why fairy bread tastes awful. So remember, never have sex. Never drink or do drugs. And never say "I'll be right back." Because you won't be right back. But you definitely should fire up your copy of Scream, grab some Halloween candy, and join Jenny and Stacey at the Freak Out Drive-In!
