The Deep House and Lake Lanier

Welcome back to Nothing Scarier Podcast!!

We are back, healthy and ready to talk about all things terrifying!! This week, we dive deep into the horror of The Deep House. What could be worse then being trapped in a hunted house? What if that house was at the bottom of a lake?! After the movie, Courtney brings us the history and haunts of the popular lake Lanier. I think the Nothing Scarier crew will pass on any waterslides any time soon.

The Happening and Lethal Plants

Welcome back to Nothing Scarier Podcast!

We are back at it with yet another M.Night movie, and another week of us wondering exactly what was going on with horror in the early 2000s. First, we watch The Happening - a misunderstood masterpiece or a horrible swing and a miss? Then, Cayla brings us a little closer to never going outside by introducing three of the world's most lethal plants. Please always remember - if you don't know what it is, never use it as outdoor toilet paper.
