In this Halloween special of Scream Creeps, Jeremy, Josh, and Aaron dress up (as Slytherin, Nacho Libre, and Peter Parker) to review the 2004 American remake of The Grudge. Ranked #21 on the "Science of Scare" list, the team debates whether this J-Horror adaptation deserves its high placement or if nostalgia has painted it scarier than it really is.The discussion highlights the film's confusing non-linear storytelling, with the hosts admitting they struggled to piece together the plot—specifically the connection between the "meowing" boy, Toshio, and the murdered cat—until the halfway point. While they agree the movie isn't terrifying by modern standards (noting a low heart rate increase of only 6 BPM), they praise the iconic sound design of the "death rattle" and the creepy visuals of Kayako. Key scenes discussed include the jawless girl on the stairs, the shower hand scene, and the hanging body sequence. The episode wraps up with a look ahead to their highly anticipated review of Five Nights at Freddy's.Key Highlights [00:28] Halloween Costumes: The hosts show off their costumes: Jeremy as a Slytherin student, Aaron as Peter Parker, and Josh as Nacho Libre (complete with "nipple-proof" shirt).
