Jared Rivet has been making movies his entire life. Growing up in New Bedford, Massachusetts, the fishing town that served as the setting for Herman Melville's novel Moby Dick, Jared drew his early inspiration from both literary and filmic monsters; his favorite childhood films were Creepshow, Jaws, and Star Wars. From a young age, Jared wrote stories and made home movies with schoolyard friends. In high school, he joined the award-winning New Bedford High School Drama Club and played a number of high-profile roles, including the role of Victor Frankenstein in their production of Frankenstein. A budding screenwriter, Jared immersed himself in every aspect of the film industry, from acting to writing to directing, and even began a decade-long correspondence with legendary film composer Jerry Goldsmith, whose work, to this day, sets the tone for much of Jared's writing.Today, Jared is a screenwriter, producer, director, author, actor, and voice actor. He wrote the screenplay for the Kevin Greutert-directed feature film Jackals starring Stephen Dorff (released by Scream Factory in 2017).Since 2014, he has written, directed and acted in multiple episodes of Earbud Theater, an award-winning audio drama anthology podcast series specializing in horror and science fiction. In 2016, he received an Audio Verse Award nomination for his performance in the Earbud Theater episode "On the Line," which he also wrote and directed. His 2016 Earbud Theater episode "Are You Sleeping?" was one of the subjects discussed in the published academic paper, “Put On Your Headphones And Turn Out The Lights: Exploring Immersive Auditory Horror in 3D-Sound Podcasting” by Danielle Hancock (University of East Anglia). Jared served as a guest lecturer at the Drexel University Great Works Symposium's “Zom Con” in 2015; contributed an essay to the 2018 collection My Favorite Horror Movie; and he has co-hosted the monthly trivia event “Dead Right Horror Trivia” with Dr. Rebekah McKendry since 2015.In September 2018, Jared served as an instructor at the first-ever class of the Los Angeles branch of the Miskatonic Institute of Horror Studies, moderating a career-spanning discussion with renowned indie-horror filmmaker, Don Coscarelli.Jared worked as a staff writer for the 2019 event series revival of Nickelodeon's Are You Afraid of the Dark? as well as Syfy Channel's upcoming TV series based on George A. Romero's Day of the Dead (2021).

The Invitation is a movie that takes a very different take on cults, so lets unpack this film a bit and dive into some academic literature on the subject.  Cults are a mainstay of the horror genre, but here we see way more nuance. 1:30- Tyler just read  Andrea Subisatti's Doctoral Thesis.  Andrea is the co-host of Faculty of Horror, where they discuss horror genre films.  If you like The Horror Pod Class then you have got to check out Faculty of Horror. 3:00-  Make sure you check out Paul Tremblay's article about school shootings over at the Boston Globe.   4:00-  Mike just finished reading The Fisherman by John Langan.  It is super awesome and if you haven't yet read it, you really ought to.  Click here to buy it now on Amazon or even better, head by your local book store and see if they have it there.  It is super important to support local book stores, especially the idependent ones. I got turned on to it from our Horror Pod Class Facebook group, click here to join the discussion! 7:30- Shout-out to Robert, our newest Patreon member!  We do this podcast out of the goodness (or evil) of our own hearts, but if you would like to help support us financially to cover the server costs of both the Horror Pod Class podcast and our website SignalHorizon.com, you can head on over to our Patreon Page.    9:30- Tyler talks about Dead Right Horror Trivia, if you want to know more check them out on Facebook. 11:30-  Go check out The Invitation on Netflix before Mike and Tyler spoil the hell out of it.  Mike didn't like it so much, but it is one of Tyler's favorite movies.  Go figure, they don't always agree. 13:30-  This movie has John Carroll Lynch in it!  He is one of our favorite creepy character actors. 20:00-  There has been an absolute ton of content, both documentary and docudramas, about cults.  We really recommend that you check out the Heaven's Gate Podcast for its nuanced look inside that particular cult. 23:00-  Mike and Tyler talk all about a great article by Elena Greco entitled, "The Use of Persuasion in Cults." It is available for free on Academia.edu, if you are interested we recommend that you check it out.  Academia.edu is free, but you do have to start and account to sign up and access the content.    28:00  Tyler drops a reference to the Sunk Cost Fallacy.  Read more about it and how it skews our judgement here. 29:15-  Mike really likes a website run by a guy named Taylor Holmes.  Taylor does a great job of discussing movies in a deep and meaningful way and you can check out his great article all about The Invitation and then continue with an interview that was conducted with the co-writer of the movie, Phil Hay. 34:20-  Tyler came up with a really interesting article entitled "Gangs and guilt: Towards a new theory of horror film" by Suzanne Kord.  It is also available to read for free at this link! 36:30-  Mike talks all about the movie Sound of My Voice which co-stars Brit Marling.  It is not quite as good as OA, which she is in also, but Sound of My Voice has a really great start and premise, then third act not so much. 44:00-  Tyler mentions an episode of This American Life, you can listen to it right here. 47:00-  Link to Reply All Podcast about Incels.

Take me down to the Raccoon City where the zombies are green and the tank controls are shitty! Our all-gaming month Varch (Garch? Smarch?) kicks off with one of our most-requested episodes: Resident Evil! To help discuss the long-running franchise, Kyle and Matthew are joined by Jacob Davison and Ken Carr, Kyle's teammates from Dead Right Horror Trivia and lifelong fans of the series. They begin by breaking down the world of survival horror games before RE, including some talk about the NES gem Sweet Home, which heavily influenced the first game. They talk tank controls. They talk fixed camera angles. They ponder what product or service the evil Umbrella Corporation actually sold that made them so much money. They work their way through the series, talking about which games made the most impact on them. They chat about their favorite monsters in the series. Plus, they break down the shift in gameplay style between the classic RE games and Resident Evil 4. RE4 might be a masterpiece, but it also led to some dark times for the franchise. However, there is hope as the gang gushes over how great Resident Evil 7 is. Put down that Jill Sandwich and go listen! This episode is sponsored by Mack Weldon.
