5 For: The Skeleton Key (2005) – Body Swaps, Hypnosis, and Haunted Minds
What happens when the Machine pulls five films bound by voodoo, hypnosis, and the horror of losing yourself?
In this “5 For” episode, Landen and Truman unlock the eerie lineage that connects The Skeleton Key to haunted consciousness and body-swapping mayhem.
WHAT YOU’LL HEAR
How I Walked with a Zombie (1943) shaped modern horror, colonial guilt, and the invention of the jump scare
The Others (2001) as gothic melancholy and family tragedy in disguise
Jordan Peele’s Get Out (2017) reimagining Skeleton Key’s body-swap horror through race and psychology
Stir of Echoes (1999) and the subgenre of “investigative horror” that blends hypnosis and detective dread
Bride of Chucky (1998) — from childhood nightmares to camp resurrection, proving even killer dolls deserve love
