31daysofhorror week 1 — This place is messed up
Our first #31daysofhorror 2024 episode
#31daysofhorror 2023 wrap
We've survived another 31 days of horror! Here are some of our statistics & recommendations from our hosts.
31daysofhorror, day 31: Misery (1990)
Another Stephen King pessimistic writer self-insert in this narrative but we’ll forgive him because Kathy Bates practically eats up this performance and earning herself an Oscar in the process.
31daysofhorror, day 30: The Mist (2007)
A mostly faithful adaptation of the Stephen King novel, this 2007 film takes all of the ambiguity of an unreliable narrator and open-ended story and gives you a definite cause and ending with an iconic final scene to boot.
31daysofhorror, day 29: The Babadook (2014)
Modern Australian horror really loves psychologically damaging single mothers, huh? Based on director Jennifer Kent’s 2005 short film Monster this 2014 film did the rounds in the meme world when Pennywise and the Babadook became lovers.
31daysofhorror, day 28: Jeepers Creepers (2014)
A 2001 would-be movie monster classic. Let’s set the scene: A hot, dusty road in the American countryside. Two sweaty teens in an old car encountering a dark, menacing vehicle.
31daysofhorror, day 27: The Curse of Frankenstein (1957)
A return to Hammer Horror on the podcast with this 1957 classic starring Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing. It twists the well worn formula of the 1818 novel only slightly but this was early days in horror cinema.
31daysofhorror, day 26: Deadly Blessing (1981)
From the strange mind of Wes Craven, this 1981 film falls by the wayside, and after watching you can understand why.
