Lake Mungo (2008)

This week on Scaredy Pants, we’re diving into the quiet, haunting grief of Lake Mungo (2008), a mockumentary-style Australian horror film that hits you right in the existential feels. We talk ghost sightings, family secrets, and how this movie somehow manages to be both understated and deeply unsettling. Is that something in the background… or just our imagination? From buried phones to blurry footage to one very cursed dam, we explore how Lake Mungo lingers long after the credits roll. Come for the scares, stay for the emotional devastation.

  • Oculus (2013)

    01:17:44|
    This week on Scaredy Pants, we’re staring deep into the haunted mirror of Oculus (2013), Mike Flanagan’s time-bending psychological horror about memory, trauma, and a really, really evil antique. One of us is losing track of reality—maybe it’s the mirror, maybe it’s the movie, or maybe we just shouldn't record near reflective surfaces. We talk creepy family dynamics, twinkle-eyed ghosts, and whether this film is actually a ghost story or a slow descent into madness. Is it scary? Is it sad? Is it both?? Tune in to find out whether Sean and Matt survived the mind games—or if the mirror got them too.If you enjoy the show, please subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.
