POPULARITY
Splatter Chatter hit the road! For our combined birthday we traveled to Witch City itself, Salem, Massachusetts, to see the sites and ring in the beginnings of fall along with friend of the pod Colleen who also joins us to discuss the newest horror video games as well as many of her old favorites
In episode 101 Dan and Jennifer discuss a few of their favourite horror films based on or inspired by true stories.
In episode 99 Dan and Jennifer discuss their favourite animal attack horror movies...and Jennifer has a few.
It's summertime at Splatter Chatter! To celebrate we do a deep dive in the 1986 film Stand By Me and its 1982 source material Stephen King's "The Body". Come on an adventure down the tracks with us as we discuss the film's themes on maturity, nostalgia, and those friends you had when you were 12.
In episode 95 of SPLATTER CHATTER Dan and Jennifer give themselves the heebie-jeebies talking about their favourate alien abduction/invasion films.
In episode 95 of SPLATTER CHATTER Dan and Jennifer give you a rundown of all the movies they checked out while on break.
In episode 93 Dan and Jennifer bust a gut talking about their favourite horror comedies. Types of HORROR COMEDY: Black/Dark Comedy - Contains morbid scenes so outrageous they are seen as funny. They deal humorously with subjects that are usually treated with more respect (ReAnimator) Parody - A ridiculous imitation that strives to mock all genre conventions - played strictly for the laughs (Young Frankenstein, Dracula Dead & Loving It) Spoof - Light and humorous imitation that makes good-natured fun of its target but treats the genre with respect. More often than not is mistaken for the real thing (Vampire in Brooklyn)
This week we thought we would mix it up a little and play a fun game called “desert island horror”. Four films we would take to a desert island and why?
They mostly come out at night...but sometimes during the day. In episode 87 Dan and Jennifer shed some light on their favourite day time horror films.
In episode 85 Dan and Jennifer gather around a pottery wheel, crank up the Righteous Brothers and talk about their favourite Ghost movies. Ghosts are heavily set in folklore as the spirits of the dead who can appear to the living in one way or another. Whether you believe in ghosts or not, the unknown often has us concerned about things that may go bump in the night, making it the perfect subject for the world of storytelling and visual media.
In episode 83 of SPLATTER CHATTER Dan and Jennifer Celebrate 35 years of horror by taking a look back on some of their favourite releases from 1987.
In episode 81 Dan and Jennifer discuss some of their favourite Clowns and whether their films are as iconic as they are. Clowns have an absolutely fascinating history that dates back to Ancient Egypt. But the history of clowns as we know them today is not all Happy Meals and Kids birthday parties, it's quite deeply depressing.

In episode 75 of SPLATTER CHATTER Dan and Jennifer howl at the moon and discuss their favourite Werewolf movies. Lore changes from culture to culture but a man with the ability to shapeshift into a wolf - usually cursed or bitten by another. The 18th century became popular in fictional literature including medieval romances - which proves people have been trying to fuck mythical creatures for centuries. Motion pictures at the end of the 18th century wouldn't be long until the werewolf made an appearance. The very first film was a silent short titled THE WEREWOLF (1913) and over the next hundred and forty-plus years has been embedded in genre cinema. Follow TerrorVison Horror Podcast.

In episode 73 of Splatter Chatter Dan and Jennifer cover, every puss-filled nook and mutated cranny of their favourite Body Horror movies. BODY HORROR is easily summed up as graphic violations of the human body. Now, I know what you're thinking, aren't all horror films graphic violations of the human body? Yes, however unlike the SLASHER genre where a killer inflicts violence upon his/her victim in a familiar/safe setting (Suburbia/Summer Camp), BODY HORROR tends to spotlight a physical manifestation. DAVID CRONENBERG is definitely the best example we can give - VIDEODROME was an exploration of the fusion of flesh and technology, THE FLY is a commentary on the AIDS epidemic. It has been a prominent genre through the 80s where MELT MOVIE STREET TRASH picked the scab of America's growing homeless epidemic. The 90s and of course the post 9/11 TORTURE PORN films such as SAW and HOSTEL
In episode 71 of Splatter Chatter Dan and Jennifer rack their braaaaains to come up with their favourite zombie movies. Kicking off the craze in 1968 George A Romero introduced us to the world of Zombies with NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD this film has spawned sequels DAWN, DAY. Cut to the 80s we see a resurgence with the punk-riddled RETURN OF series and finally into the 00s with Zack Snyder's remake of DAWN OF kicking off a new era for a new generation of moviegoers. Since then there have been hundreds of comic books, TV series, and movies that explore the zombie genre. Follow TerrorVison Horror Podcast.

Hey there word nerds! Today I have the pleasure of speaking with Melanie Moyer. Melanie is a debut author and veteran ghostwriter. She graduated from the University of Pittsburgh where she studied Creative Writing, Religious Studies, Folklore, and Russian History. She regularly co-hosts a horror pop culture podcast called Splatter Chatter, serves as a co-host on the animation podcast Overly Animated, and regularly contributes pop culture pieces to Just About Write. Today we’ll be talking about her debut YA novel The Rules of Me, a fascinating novel with a unique point of view choice. In this episode Melanie and I discuss: The process of going from a short story drafted in college to a novel written years later. Point of view challenges that come with making the narrator be the main character’s imaginary friend. How this unconventional point of view choice ultimately enriches the narrative experience. The different pairs of characters that frame the story. The art and craft of world building and how to create rules for your characters. Navigating the workshop experience, with both its pros and cons. Writing for a YA audience and how to respect that reader’s point of view. Plus, Melanie’s #1 tip for writers.
