13 Degrees of Screams: A Horror Movie Podcast

Daybreakers and Rebirth Through Fire

In our fifth episode, we dive into a world where vampires are commonplace, and humans are hunted for blood. 
This 2009 sci-fi action movie answers the question - what happens when vampires take over and there is no blood left to sustain the population? From ruthless CEOs, to mutant bat creatures - human farms, to an underground resistance, Daybreakers takes you on a fast-paced adventure of a terrifying future. 
Listen along as we discuss another potential cure for vampirism - one more dangerous than we have yet to see on 13 Degrees of Screams!

The Invitation and Blood Pacts

In our fourth episode, we speculate on what's an acceptable time frame for a blood pact to be honored and if it's considered consanguineous to have multiple brides from the same three families.
Originally named the Bride, the 2022 American horror thriller The Invitation, was said to be inspired by Bram Stoker's Dracula. This film is about a young woman who, following the death of her mother, meets a long lost family member and joins him at a wedding weekend only to discover later on that she's the intended bride. Listen along as we discuss, yet again, another case of stranger danger and the bizarre nature of this movie's plot.

Mom’s Got a Date with a Vampire and Coffins

In our third installment, we reveal the lore behind vampires' need for coffins and how easy it is to kill the "traditional" vampire. 
In this 2000 Disney Channel movie, Mom's Got a Date with a Vampire, we follow three siblings as they set their mom up on date so they can go out for the night but they soon learn it may be more of a risk than just getting caught. Join us for a laugh as we revisit this nostalgic film, discuss the lengths Adam will go to to get what he wants and how trusting these kids are with strangers.
