The Birds Scares Us!
Please allow the following images and videos to accentuate your enjoyment of Katya and I dissecting The Birds.
Kids running and screaming which is totally not funny. Okay, maybe once.
Melanie's reaction. Not funny. Okay, maybe twice.
And now ... the hysterical hysteria of Veronica Cartwright:
Poor Kathy.
Invasion of the Body Snatchers. (Click here to watch the scene.)
Alien.
Witches of Eastwick.

The Birds Scares Us
Hello Dear Listeners,
Sorry for the delay this week! We had many things happening and had some technical challenges. Fear not! We have returned to give you a reason to be afraid, even as we move through spring and into the sunny summer season. Don't you all remember that horror in the daylight is real!?
Join Katya and Laramie as they discuss (and sing about) Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds. There is plenty to be afraid of in this one. Creepy movie directors, condescending lawyers, women breaking into houses to leave birds, birds that peck out eyes (so many eyes!!), if its bird or misogyny related this movie probably has it!! Plus, Katya and Laramie discuss the horror of coming to terms with the bad behavior of artists we love.
Special shout outs to The Roxy Theater here in Missoula for screening The Birds, and our wonderful listener Lindsey C.!

Werewolves Scare Us
Here are some werewolves for your nerves. If you'd like to learn more about the horrors of hybridity (which blogger doesn't even acknowledge is a word; what the hell), werewolves, or shapeshifters in general, please check out Episode 5 and 16.
Oliver Reed carries off the heroine in Hammer's The Curse of the Werewolf.
Dog Soldiers! Brilliant. The last werewolf movie that actually freaked me out.
David Kessler transforms into An American Werewolf in London, one of my first (and favorite) werewolves.
The horrors of The Howling!
An oldie but a goodie: Lon Chaney's The Wolfman.
A deeply unsettling moment from The Company of Wolves.
One of the first, predating The Wolfman by a few years: Henry Hull as The Werewolf of London.

Haunted Mirrors Scare Us
I took this picture in my brother's old bedroom last summer; there was no light except the flash from my camera. Look closely into the mirror ... if you dare!

House Party Horror Scares Us
Clinkies Dear Listeners!!
Welcome to the house party episode of This Place Scares Us! We don't know how your life has been, but spring time has been a bit too busy for all of us at TPSU. So we decided to let our amazing hair down and have a house party!!
We brought our wonderful friends and family in to the This Place Scares Us Studio to hear their creepy stories. Taylor (yes, the actually famous Taylor), Ryan (our amazing social media manager), Tori (of Silver Bullet Scares Us fame), and Amy and Aaron (our besties from Frame of Mind MT) join us to tell their scariest stories!
This episode was recorded during a house party so sound quality is a bit all over the place, and we were maybe a bit deep into our wine to keep things on a great track. So, if this isn't your thing feel free to let us know. OR BETTER YET: write into us with your favorite creepy topic, ghost story, etc.
See you in two weeks for our episode on The Birds
We love you dear listeners,
**Clinkies**
Katya and Laramie
