The History of Horror

The History of Horror

While we have done this podcast for many years, there is no time we love more than the season of scary. This is why we wanted to take the time to look back over the decades and how horror has evolved just like we have with the times. With a bit of sad news as well, this will be our final episode for the time being while we figure out life and will unfortunately be taking a hiatus from this episode on. We want to thank each and every one of you for listening over the years, or even just once as this has been a truly fun experience to share with all of you. We thank you, we love you, and we will return!

Review: Attack of the Killer Tomatoes

In a world where you don't want to eat your vegetables, sometimes they eat back. An absolutely ridiculous film, we follow Mason Dixon assembling a team to take down sentient tomatoes who kill people. So over the top it feels like a fever dream, blending a Monty Python style of humor with a B-list style horror that feels like just a fun watch as we get closer to the horror holiday. If your looking for a fun time than check this one out because in the end, "its man vs vegetable".

Jump Scare Stingers

When your watching a horror movie and everything is said and done, the monster is defeated or the entity has been suppressed, there always seems to be that one moment before the credits roll that gets you every time. Today we unbox not only the reason as to why horror films do this, but also dissect what the point is of it too. As always we would love to know your thoughts and listen in as we begin to fade to black then jump out of the podcast to get you one last time with jump scare stingers.

Review: Together

How much do you love your spouse? Enough to become one and form into a new being? In the directorial debut of Michael Shanks, we follow Tim and Millie as their rocky relationship full of past trauma and resentment lead them to a cult like town and after drinking from an eldritch pond begin to be magnetically pulled to each other. A great showcase of body horror, practical effects, and what we think is an homage to great horror films in the past to bring us a fun and suspenseful film towards the end of the year leading even us to write our last facebook post of "brb dying".

Favorite Horror Monster Origins

Our past doesn't always define us, and there are plenty of ways to change something if you don't like it. However, what if you do want to become an evil creature bent on taking revenge? In the world of horror monsters and villains, its how they were made that often times can scare us the most. Today we discuss the horrible beginnings that molded and shaped the knife wielding murderers we love on screen. As always let us know what you think and listen in as we go from normal to eldritch abominations with our favorite horror monster origins.
