In today's episode, I recommend some horror books for you to enjoy based on popular horror movies. Plus, as a special treat, I'm joined by my wife, Jackie, and we talk about "our" enjoyment of horror movies, whether a clown ever makes an appearance in It Follows, and whether Mean Girls is just a rip-off of Heathers.

FYI: This is a spoiler-filled episode so check out the timestamps below if that's a concern.
