Note: from Oct 2021-June 2022, the Scare U podcast was known as 21 Jump Scare and was organized in a slightly different fashion, with different awards.
Why do Mommy and Daddy Robeson want a child? What's going on inside the walls of their palatial home? And why, for the love of God, is Wendy Robie not more famous? These and other questions are posed and answered (sort of) in this week's installment of 21 Jump Scare, as Bradford and Eric take a long, hard look at the sleazy goings-on in Wes Craven's underappreciated THE PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS, featuring Everett McGill, A.J. Langer, Brandon Adams, Ving Rhames, Sean Whalen, and Ms. Robie.
