Spoilerpiece Theatre Episode 609: Scared to Death
In Episode 609 of my podcast Spoilerpiece Theatre, we review Scared to Death (3:10), a horror comedy that isn't particularly funny or horrific, but it does feature horror icons Lin Shaye and Bill Moseley, so that's great! (Oh, and Rae Dawn Chong shows up, too. Yay!) The story, however, is one of those nifty ideas — filming a seance in a haunted orphanage that was run by a Satan worshipper (neat!) — that falls flat. The lore doesn't add up, the characters are dopes, and the pacing is off. We don't like to give lower-budgeted features a hard time, but we couldn't find much to like here. Over on Patreon, we watch Paul Feig's 2025 thriller The Housemaid.
