This week we're diving into the twisted world of family ties with Cobweb (2023). We delve into its unnerving depiction of familial dynamics, weigh its impact against the backdrop of modern horror flicks, and consider its box office burial during Barbenheimer. In this episode's b-side, we open up about the fears that haunted our younger years, run down the top 40 childhood terrors and match them with their horror film equivalents, and get weirded out by the uncanny existence of monkey-faced orchids. This episode contains spoilers, beginning at 34:41.
