So, You Like Horror? Podcast

What's up, freaks? This week on the podcast, I tackle the legacy of Friday the 13th by comparing the 1980 original to its 2009 remake. We begin with a breakdown of both films—Sean S. Cunningham's suspenseful whodunit that introduced Pamela Voorhees as one of horror's earliest female slashers, and Marcus Nispel's grittier reimagining that transformed Jason into a brutal, territorial hunter. We discuss how the two films differ in structure, tone, violence, character archetypes, and especially in the portrayal of Jason—from a tragic child's memory to a relentless predator with survivalist instincts. Despite their differences, both versions share familiar slasher elements: the eerie setting of Camp Crystal Lake, the indulgent teen victims, and the iconic “ki ki ki, ma ma ma” score that still signals incoming doom. We explore recurring themes like grief, vengeance, trauma, and morality, while also unpacking how the franchise has evolved with the times. Finally, we examine the franchise's stalled cinematic future, the ongoing legal battle that's frozen Jason's return, and the hope offered by A24's upcoming Crystal Lake prequel series.

What's happening, spooky folk? This week on the podcast, I welcome back Rikki Tikki Timber to break down Jordan Peele's psychological horror film Get Out. We explore how Peele uses suspense, dark humor, and disturbing visuals to highlight themes of racism, identity erasure, and control. From the unforgettable “Sunken Place” scene to the coded language of liberal hypocrisy at the Armitage family's dinner party, we dissect the film's layered metaphors and social commentary. We also examine key characters like Chris, Rose, and Rod, and how their roles reflect broader societal dynamics. Together, we dive into the symbolism behind the mysterious "Behold the Coagula" and the Death Cheetah vs. Matter poster in Chris's apartment—unpacking how they enrich the narrative's deeper messages. Plus, we discuss the film's original, darker ending and why Jordan Peele chose to give audiences a rare moment of triumph. This episode is meant to be a tense, thoughtful, and sometimes uncomfortable conversation, but it's Rikki and I, so we got jokes that are probably not ok.Thank you, everyone, for your support.

What's up, humans? This week on the podcast, I'm joined by Chad and Eugene to break down the 2025 sci-fi horror film Companion. We explore the existential and ethical questions the film raises: Are sentient machines deserving of rights? What defines humanity and self-awareness? We also praise standout performances, such as Sophie Thatcher's evolution from naive companion to self-aware survivor, and Jack Quaid's portrayal of a manipulative partner. We make comparisons to Ex Machina, M3GAN, and Black Mirror, and discuss the film's major twists. Wrapping up, we, each give a Good, Bad, and Ugly, along with our final scoring of the film. We also weigh in on whether Companion adds anything new to the AI horror conversation or just reboots familiar fears with a glossy finish. Thank you, everyone, for your support.

What's up, sleepy heads? This week on the podcast, I'm joined by Jon Yoe as we dive into the nightmares of Springwood to compare A Nightmare on Elm Street from 1984 and its 2010 reimagining. In this episode, we explore how Wes Craven's original reshaped the slasher genre by blending supernatural terror with psychological depth, and introduced one of horror's most unforgettable villains—Freddy Krueger. We break down the surreal, dream-fueled horror of the original, Freddy's evolution into a charismatic icon, and how themes like teenage trauma, distrust in authority, and fear of sleep made it a genre-defining film.Then we shift to the 2010 remake, which aimed to bring a grittier, more grounded version of Freddy to modern audiences. We unpack its emphasis on repressed trauma, psychological realism, and the stark shift in Freddy's portrayal—from theatrical killer to cold predator.We also compare the similarities and key differences between the two films, before closing out with a look at the cultural legacy of Elm Street, Freddy's influence on horror history, and why the remake didn't quite strike the same chord.Whether you're team New Line Cinema or team Platinum Dunes, this episode slices into what makes A Nightmare on Elm Street a pillar of horror—and why Freddy Krueger continues to haunt our collective subconscious.Thank you, everyone, for your support.

What's up, horror fans? This week on the podcast, I'm joined by Kyle Prescott, as we dive into three standout alien horror films—Signs from 2002, Dark Skies from 2013, and Nope from 2022. At first glance, they all center on extra-terrestrial threats, but it's the human drama beneath the surface that unites them. We break down each film's plot and themes, from Signs' intimate story of faith and grief to Dark Skies' portrayal of a family unraveling under invisible invasion, and Nope's genre-bending commentary on trauma, spectacle, and survival. Our conversation explores common threads like the focus on family, the fear of the unseen, and how each film uses atmosphere over jump scares to unsettle. We also discuss how these stories reflect deep psychological fears—loss of control, being watched, and the powerlessness of confronting forces beyond comprehension. Whether you're a fan of slow-burn spiritual horror or mind-bending alien metaphors, this episode uncovers what makes these films terrifying, thought-provoking, and unforgettable.Thank you, everyone, for your support.

What's up, you Thingamajigs? This week on the podcast, Maryland Phil and I, dive deep into two iconic interpretations of John W. Campbell Jr.'s novella Who Goes There?—The Thing from Another World (1951) and John Carpenter's The Thing (1982). We explore how these two films, separated by three decades, offer drastically different takes on the same terrifying concept.We start with the 1951 classic, a Cold War-era sci-fi thriller set in an Arctic outpost, where a plant-based alien menace triggers panic and cooperation among a tight-knit military-scientific crew. Then, we descend into the paranoia-soaked landscape of Carpenter's 1982 remake, where an Antarctic research team is torn apart by a shape-shifting parasite that could be hiding in any one of them.From Cold War optimism to post-Watergate cynicism, from offscreen menace to grotesque practical effects, we break down:Thematic differences: unity vs. paranoia, trust vs. suspicionVisual styles and creature design: implied horror vs. unforgettable body horrorLegacy and influence on modern media: The X-Files, Stranger Things, Among Us, and moreWhether you're a fan of pulp sci-fi or slow-burning existential dread, this episode is for you.

What's happening, horror lovers? This week on the podcast, I welcome @scotthmas83 as we sit down and discuss the 2007 horror sci-fi film adaptation of Stephen King's “The Mists”. We begin with the harrowing arrival of the mist after a violent storm, trapping David Drayton, his young son Billy, and a group of townspeople inside a supermarket. As military trucks speed through town and a bloodied man bursts in warning, “There's something in the mist!”—paranoia and primal fear take over. We break down the terrifying creature attacks, the rise of Mrs. Carmody's apocalyptic religious cult, and the failed escape attempts that drive the group toward psychological collapse. From the film's exploration of fear, faith, and human nature to its devastating ending that left audiences gasping, we discuss why The Mist remains one of the most nihilistic and emotionally jarring horror films ever made. We also unpack the film's heavy symbolism—from the dangers of religious extremism to the hopelessness that creeps in when survival feels just out of reach. Whether you love or hate that final scene, you can't deny how it affected the audience.Thank you, everyone, for your support.

What's up, Ghost Hunters? This week on the podcast, we dive into the haunted history of 13 Ghosts from 1960 and its 2001 remake, Thir13en Ghosts. We explore how William Castle's campy original introduced audiences to haunted house gimmicks like Illusion-O and playful ghost designs, while Steve Beck's remake turned up the intensity with brutal supernatural horror, complex ghost backstories, and a darker tone. From the playful mystery of the original's haunted inheritance to the remake's twisted mythology involving the Black Zodiac and the Ocularis Infernum, we break down the key differences in tone, ghost design, and storytelling. We also discuss how the 2001 remake achieved cult status despite mixed reviews. Which version holds up better? Tune in to find out — and let us know which one you prefer!

What's up, horror fiends? This week on the podcast, we're diving headfirst into the eerie, Vatican-centric world of exorcism horror with 2023's The Pope's Exorcist. Joining me once again is Shoky from the Now, You Made It Awkward Podcast, and together, we break down the film's gothic horror atmosphere, intense action-thriller elements, and its deeper themes of faith, doubt, and institutional secrecy.Does The Pope's Exorcist stand out in the crowded world of exorcism films, or is it just another flick full of spinning heads and Latin chants? We explore the movie's unique take on supernatural horror, dissect its strengths and weaknesses, and question whether it brings something fresh to the genre.The Pope's Exorcist is a 2023 supernatural horror film. It is based on the writings of real-life exorcist Father Gabriele Amorth. The film stars Russell Crowe as Amorth. The story follows his investigation into a young boy's possession in Spain, which leads him to uncover a sinister conspiracy buried deep within the Vatican's history. As Father Gabrielle delves into the case, he encounters disturbing supernatural phenomena, challenging his faith and forcing him to confront long-hidden secrets about the Church's past.Thank you, everyone, for your support.

What's up, Horror Junkies? This week, I'm joined by Sarah Beth to celebrate my birthday as we take a deep dive into the 10 horror films that shaped my love for the genre. From the meta-horror brilliance of Scream to the relentless terror of Halloween and A Nightmare on Elm Street, we explore how slasher icons like Ghostface, Michael Myers, and Freddy Krueger redefined horror and kept us up at night. We then shift gears to the chilling realism of The Strangers and the tragic horror of Carrie, analyzing how psychological and home invasion horror tap into our deepest fears. The conversation continues with supernatural terror in Paranormal Activity and gothic romance in Bram Stoker's Dracula, proving that horror thrives in both the unseen and the poetic. Finally, we round out the discussion with the anthology brilliance of Trick ‘r Treat, the gruesome fate of Final Destination, and the apocalyptic chaos of Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead. Join us for a journey through the films that left a permanent scar on our horror-loving hearts.

What's up, folks? This week on the podcast, I'm flying solo. So, for this episode, I will explore The Amityville Horror in our Remake vs. Original series, comparing the eerie 1979 classic to its intense 2005 remake. We begin with the real-life horror behind 112 Ocean Avenue before analyzing the original film's slow-burn psychological terror and the remake's modern, action-driven scares. From George Lutz's descent into madness to the film's use of special effects, I debate which version is scarier and holds up best today and why none of that matters anyway. So tune in for the final verdict, share your thoughts, and stay connected for what's next. The Amityville Horror films, released in 1979 and 2005, depict one of horror's most infamous haunted house stories. The 1979 film takes a slow-burning, psychological approach, becoming a classic in the haunted house subgenre, while the 2005 remake modernizes the story with a faster pace, intense visuals, and a darker portrayal of George Lutz's descent into madness. Despite their stylistic differences, both films continue to intrigue audiences and spark debate over the real events behind the legend. Thank you, everyone, for your support.

What's up, horror junkies? This week on the podcast, I welcome back Mannuel C. to explore the intriguing concept of “Non-Horror Horror,” where we discuss films that challenge traditional definitions of the horror genre. From the psychological manipulation in The Good Son to the dark thriller elements of Seven, we dissect why these movies, despite their chilling themes, might not be universally considered horror. We delve into the prestige-versus-horror debate with Silence of the Lambs, the real-life terror of We Need to Talk About Kevin and the sci-fi-meets-cosmic horror of Event Horizon. Along the way, we ponder whether horror requires monsters or jump scares and examine why the genre often lacks recognition at award shows. Join us as we unpack these films and debate what truly defines horror. A horror movie is a genre of film designed to evoke fear, dread, or shock in its audience. These films often feature elements that are intended to terrify or unsettle, including supernatural entities, violence, psychological distress, or grotesque imagery. While traditional horror relies on explicit scares and thrilling moments, its core purpose is to elicit an emotional response rooted in fear. Common tropes include haunted settings, dangerous antagonists, and themes of survival against sinister forces. Thank you, everyone, for your support.

Happy New Year, folks. This week on the podcast, Maryland Phil and Joe KW join me to kick things off as we introduce this year's theme: Remakes vs. Originals. In this episode, we explore the art of remaking horror classics, examining what makes these films unique, why filmmakers revisit them, and whether they truly add value to their franchises. From remakes that surpassed their originals to those that should have been left untouched, we discuss hidden gems, box-office disasters, and the remakes chosen by our Instagram followers. Tune in for our exploration of some of horror's most hotly debated topics. Horror originals are celebrated for their raw creativity, societal relevance, and groundbreaking innovations. They introduce iconic characters and settings that shape the genre, such as Halloween from 1978 and A Nightmare on Elm Street from 1984. In contrast, horror remakes modernize these classics, blending nostalgia with fresh perspectives, like Thirteen Ghosts from 2001 and The Ring from 2002, which adapt themes and visuals to contemporary fears. Together, originals and remakes showcase horror's enduring ability to evolve, resonate with audiences, and remain culturally impactful across generations. Thank you, everyone, for your support.

We explore how Bitch Ass pays homage to iconic slashers like Halloween and Texas Chainsaw Massacre while introducing fresh twists like morality-based traps, a humanized villain, and a visually stunning neon-lit aesthetic. Join us as we unpack the film's exploration of systemic inequities, urban survival, and the psychological terror of facing one's flaws. We'll also compare Bitch Ass to horror classics like Candyman and Saw, discussing its impact on representation and the evolution of the genre.

What's up, you creepy fools? This week on the podcast, I'm joined by Sarah Beth, Bobby Skullface, Mrs. Skullface, and Jaina as we dive into the legacy of one of the most iconic horror films ever, The Exorcist. From the groundbreaking story of demonic possession to the film's chilling on-set accidents, mysterious deaths, and long-lasting impact, this episode explores the infamous "cursed film" theory that has haunted the production and its legacy for decades. We'll unravel strange set mishaps like unexplained fires, cast injuries, and the tragic fates of those involved while debating whether these events were coincidences or evidence of something darker. Did the film's intense themes invite sinister forces, or were the tales of its curse amplified by media and cultural fears? Tune in as we dissect the myths, analyze the facts, and debate whether The Exorcist's legacy is rooted in real supernatural phenomena or Hollywood's love for a good scare.

With examples like Gerald's Game, Hush, and the Terror, they unpack the primal fears of loneliness and helplessness that make isolation horror so compelling.

What's up, ghoulies? This week on the podcast, Sarah Beth and I sit down and chat about the cursed film theory behind the Poltergeist film franchise. We discuss the tragic and untimely deaths of Dominique Dunne and Heather O'Rourke, the origin of the curse, cast members' thoughts on the matter, and whether we believe the films to be cursed or not. The cursed film theory surrounding the 1982 film Poltergeist stems from several tragic and eerie incidents involving the cast and crew. The theory suggests that the production was haunted or cursed due to the use of real human skeletons in one of the film's scenes, which some believe brought bad luck. Key events fueling the curse include the untimely deaths of two of the film's young stars. These tragedies, combined with other on-set accidents and unusual occurrences, have led many to believe that the Poltergeist franchise is cursed. Thank you, everyone, for your support.

What's up, Jabronis? This week on the podcast, I welcome back Mannuel C. and for the first time on the podcast, his wife Alicia. Together we have a conversation about the cursed film theory that surrounds the 2011 film, The Conjuring.   The Conjuring is a supernatural horror film based on the true story of paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, who assist a haunted family in Rhode Island. The cursed film theory suggests that supernatural events affected the movie's production and release, aligning it with a broader pattern of films where eerie or tragic real-life events occur. These stories add to the film's mystique, attracting more viewers, though whether the events are genuinely supernatural or merely coincidental remains uncertain. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/so-you-like-horror-podcast/support

Happy Friday, folks. This week on the podcast, I fly solo as I sit down and talk about one of my favorite shows as a kid, Friday the 13th: The Series. In this episode, I review the show's basic premise, some memorable episodes, themes throughout the series, and what made it stand out from other horror properties. "Friday the 13th: The Series" is a Canadian-American television series airing from 1987 to 1990. Despite its name, it has no direct connection to the "Friday the 13th" slasher films. The show follows cousins Micki and Ryan, who inherit an antique store. After selling the items, they learn from Jack Marshak that the antiques are cursed. The trio then works together to recover these cursed objects and secure them in the store's vault to prevent further harm. The series is also known as "Friday's Curse" in some markets.

Welcome back, folks. This week on the podcast, I'm joined by my wife Sarah Beth, and our daughter, Sophie as we sit and talk about age-appropriate horror and the idea of how to introduce your kids to horror. We discuss the early stages in literature starting from ages 3-6, TV shows during the years of 7-9, and the films that begin to shape us from ages 10-12 and beyond. Age-appropriate horror refers to horror content suitable for a specific age group based on emotional and psychological development. This type of content considers the audience's ability to process fear, suspense, and the themes presented in the story without causing undue distress or trauma. It allows younger audiences to enjoy the fun of being spooked in a safe and controlled manner, gradually introducing more intense and complex horror as they mature.

What's up, folks? This week on the podcast, I welcome back Rikki Tikki Timber as we discuss the curse connected to the 1994 film, The Crow. The curse surrounding the 1994 film "The Crow" and the Lee family is a series of tragic events that have led to speculation and myth. The central figure of this curse narrative is Brandon Lee, the son of legendary martial artist and actor Bruce Lee. Whether it's the production being plagued with accidents and mishaps, including crew injuries, equipment malfunctions, and the tragic  death of Brandon Lee being shot with a prop gun that had a fragment of a real bullet lodged in it or the mysterious circumstances in 1973 under which Bruce Lee died, these events have led to a persistent belief in a curse affecting the Lee family and those associated with the film "The Crow."

What's up, you ghoulie bastards? This week on the podcast we do things a little differently.

What's happening, Spooky People? This week on the podcast, I sit with Sarah Beth and we continue our cursed films conversations as we talk about the 1983 film, The Twilight Zone: The Movie. We go over a brief description of the film, itself before we shift gears and talk a little more about the "curse". We go over the details that led many to consider this a cursed film. We discussed how John Landis broke laws, was reported to shrug off safety suggestions, and other onset tragedies since then, including The Crow and Rust. "The Twilight Zone: The Movie" curse refers to a series of tragic incidents associated with the production and release of the 1983 anthology film. The movie was based on the classic television series created by Rod Serling. Four segments were directed by different directors, including John Landis, Steven Spielberg, Joe Dante, and George Miller. While not a traditional curse in the supernatural sense, the tragedies associated with "The Twilight Zone: The Movie" have left a dark cloud over the production, leading many to refer to it as a curse. It serves as a reminder of the risks involved in filmmaking and the importance of prioritizing safety on set. Thank you, everyone, for your support.

Hello and welcome back, folks. This week on the podcast, I welcome Dan Ferraro as we discuss found footage and its roots, how it's evolved over the years, where we think it's going, and what OG franchises could be done in a found footage film style. Found footage in horror involves presenting the narrative through footage discovered after an event has occurred, often depicted as recordings from camcorders, surveillance cameras, or handheld devices. This technique aims to create a sense of realism and immersion by portraying events as if the characters captured them. Typically, found footage films utilize shaky camera work, naturalistic acting, and minimal editing to enhance the illusion of authenticity. The storyline often revolves around characters documenting paranormal phenomena, exploring haunted locations, or encountering supernatural entities. Thank you, everyone, for your support.

Howdy, friends! This week on the podcast, Sarah Beth and I sit and discuss the 1968 Roman Polanski film, Rosemary's Baby. Specifically the "curse" associated with the film. The alleged curse surrounding "Rosemary's Baby" has been a subject of fascination and speculation for decades. While it's important to note that these events could be coincidental, they've contributed to the aura of mystery and superstition surrounding the film. We go into what happened with the Manson Family Cult, the tragic and mysterious death of Krzysztof Komeda, and whether or not this is legit or if it's just a matter of the wrong place, and wrong time for some of the occurrences.

Happy New Year, folks. Glad you made it back. This week on the podcast, I sit with Sarah Beth and Theresa and we talk a little bit about cursed films and our plan for 2024 as it relates to this theme. We mention a few of the major horror films associated with curses and we make a plan to further dissect them as the year goes on. Cursed films refer to movies believed to have had unfortunate or eerie occurrences happen during their production or after their release, leading to superstitions about the film being cursed. These incidents could range from accidents on set, unexplained deaths of cast or crew members, to strange happenings during filming.  The idea of cursed films often emerges from a series of unfortunate events or coincidences rather than any supernatural force. However, these occurrences have contributed to the mystique surrounding certain movies and their production, creating enduring legends in Hollywood. Thank you, everyone, for your support.

Welcome back, folks. On this episode of the podcast, we welcome back the team of Sarah Beth, Theresa, and Maryland Phil as we review our theme of Horror Through the Decades and 2023. We walk through the decades and highlight what made each one unique and how it set the stage for the decade to follow. Horror films have evolved significantly over the last century, reflecting societal fears, technological advancements, and shifts in storytelling. In the 1920s, films like "Nosferatu" introduced eerie atmospheres and iconic monsters, emphasizing shadow, light, and distorted sets to evoke fear. In the 1930s and 40s, Universal Studios brought iconic monsters to life, where Gothic settings and creature features dominated. The 1950s and ‘60s, spawned creatures like "Godzilla" and "The Blob". While films like “Psycho” explored psychological terror. The new wave of the 1970s explored taboo subjects and visceral horror. The 1980s and 1990s popularized the slasher formula and subverted genre tropes. In the 2000s the genre sparked a trend in found footage horror, modernized versions of classics, and blended social commentary with horror. Throughout this evolution, horror films have reflected societal anxieties, technological advancements, and storytelling innovations, continuously adapting to captivate audiences and explore the depths of fear and suspense.

What's up, folks? This week on the podcast, I present to you an episode that has been a year in the making.

We likely discussed Lon Chaney, Jr. as the Wolf Man, the Howling, American Werewolf in London, and many other films that featured wolf-man hybrids and stuff.

Greetings, folks. In the 2020s, horror experienced a diverse evolution across various mediums like film, TV, literature, and games. There was a resurgence of psychological horror, exploring themes of societal fears, isolation, technology, and the unknown.

The genre also saw an expansion in representation and inclusion, bringing diverse perspectives to traditional horror narratives. Additionally, interactive horror games became increasingly popular, blurring the lines between reality and fiction.
