For our 50th episode, we're diving into the eerie, expressionistic world of F.W. Murnau’s Nosferatu, the unauthorized Dracula adaptation that helped define horror cinema. We’ll explore its silent film legacy, German Expressionism, Max Schreck's unsettling performance, the infamous lawsuit from Bram Stoker's estate, and the bizarre fate of director Murnau.

This episode also marks the start of our hiatus—we're stepping into the shadows for a bit, but the crypt will reopen again soon.

Thanks for 50 amazing episodes.

👽 In 1978, the aliens didn’t come with lasers—they came with silence.

This week, we explore Invasion of the Body Snatchers, a sci-fi horror masterpiece rooted in dread, detachment, and conspiracy. We dig into its themes of identity, paranoia, and political fear, with nods to McCarthyism and Cold War anxiety.

Also: body horror, plant people, and Donald Sutherland’s most iconic face ever.

🎧 Listen now—before they come for you.

🥚 Angel’s Egg is a film that whispers.

Directed by Mamoru Oshii and illustrated by Yoshitaka Amano, it’s a surreal anime about a girl guarding an egg in a drowned city, followed by a man with no past. There are almost no words—but every image speaks volumes.

In this episode of And I Made Him Watch, we wander through its stillness, symbols, and sorrow. What does it mean? That’s not the point. The point is that it feels.

🌙 Eight dreams. Eight visions. One final message from a master filmmaker.

In this episode of And I Made Him Watch, we step into the dreamworld of Akira Kurosawa—where fox spirits dance in the rain, shadows of war linger in burnt fields, and Vincent van Gogh appears in a field of color.

🎙️ Dreams (1990) is more meditation than movie. We unpack the surreal vignettes, haunting landscapes, and Kurosawa’s reflections on nature, guilt, and hope.

It’s a slower, stranger episode—and maybe the quietest apocalypse we’ve ever covered.

In this episode, we resurrect Children Shouldn’t Play With Dead Things (1972)—a film that’s equal parts zombie horror, improv theater meltdown, and acid-laced funeral party.

This no-budget gem from Bob Clark (yes, the guy who made A Christmas Story) drops a group of actors into a graveyard, gives them a grimoire, and lets the bodies hit the floor. Literally.

🔪 Bad decisions? Plenty.
⚰️ Great fashion? Weirdly, yes.
🧟 Low-stakes necromancy gone terribly wrong? Absolutely.

This week on And I Made Him Watch, we’re talking about a movie that asked one very important question:
What if your local mall replaced security guards with death robots armed with tasers and lasers?

We dive deep into 1986’s Chopping Mall, a low-budget, high-body-count horror flick where a group of teens gets trapped in a shopping mall overnight… with killer robots on the loose.

We’ll talk about how the story was written in 24 hours, what inspired the robot design, some spicy casting choices (hint: the director had a crush), and why this movie became a cult favorite—despite having zero actual chopping in it.

From exploding heads to haunted escalators, this episode has it all.

This week, we sink our teeth into Fright Night (1985)—a horror-comedy that asks the age-old question: what if your new neighbor was a suave, disco-dancing vampire... and nobody believed you?

We’re breaking down this cult classic like it’s a wooden coffin lid. Expect synth scores, suburban paranoia, and more thirst than a vampire at a blood bank.

New episodes every Monday. Listen, laugh, and stay out of the basement.

🌀 In a world where humans are pocket-sized pests and enlightenment comes with a body count, things get… fantastically weird.

In Episode 43 of And I Made Him Watch, we descend into the animated fever dream that is Fantastic Planet (1973). Directed by René Laloux, this cult sci-fi classic gives us:

🔵 Blue-skinned giants (the Draags) who meditate to horrifying results
🔵 Wildly surreal animation that feels like a children’s book possessed by demons
🔵 Tiny humans rebelling against their alien overlords—and somehow winning

Is it a metaphor for oppression? A bad acid trip with subtitles? Or the most terrifying petting zoo in cinema? You decide.

🎧 New episodes every Monday—because existential dread waits for no one.

🍼 The killer babies are back—and now there’s more of them… and they want island real estate.

In Episode 42 of And I Made Him Watch, we dive headfirst into the double-feature madness of It Lives Again (1978) and Island of the Alive (1987), the sequels to Larry Cohen’s It’s Alive. From government conspiracies and birthing room bloodbaths to full-blown tropical mutant colonies, these films take parenting horror to deranged new heights.

🔪 How did this franchise go from social satire to full-blown creature camp?
🔪 What happens when you let a pack of mutant toddlers grow up on an island?
🔪 And why does Michael Moriarty give one of the weirdest performances in horror sequel history?

Join us as we unpack the gore, the weird politics, the parental guilt, and the absolutely unhinged energy of these sequels that ask: What if your baby was a monster… and also had friends?

🎧 Listen now and embrace the chaos.

🍼 Congratulations, it’s a… monster? 👶🔪

It’s Alive (1974) turns parenthood into a full-blown horror show, proving that diapers are the least of your worries when your newborn has claws and a body count. In Episode 41, we dive into Larry Cohen’s cult classic about the ultimate problem child—from its bizarre production history to how it somehow spawned (get it?) two sequels.

🔪 What made 1970s audiences terrified of babies?
🔪 How did Rick Baker’s monster design change horror forever?
🔪 Is this the most horrifying take on parenting ever put to film?

Join us as we dissect It’s Alive—because some babies don’t just cry, they kill.
