Chillennial Horrors

We see dead people. Sometimes they're even the main characters. 

This episode, we're heading back to 1999 again to seek out the beginning of a turn-of-the-century trend where seeing ghosts is only half the story, and the goal is to sell you another ticket for another go around...

You're going to want to rewatch the Final Destination movies once you listen to this. Or maybe before. Or during. Look, don't you always just kind of want to rewatch the Final Destination movies?

This episode, we're joined by writer and presenter Louise Blain to revisit everyone's favourite 2000s franchise (except for the one that no-one likes). Things get a little bit philosophical, and a lot gleeful.

This episode, Sarah and Jonathan are joined by Asian film expert Hayley Scanlon to discuss all things J-horror. Well, some things J-horror. Turns out, there were a lot of those movies, so to kick off we're discussing Ring (1998), Pulse (2001), Dark Water (2002), Ju-On: The Grudge (2002), and Audition (1999). One of these things is not like the others, except when it is.

If you go down to the woods today... watch out for witches, don't punt your map into the creek, and look, maybe just stay home and forget about the woods altogether, yeah? 

Sarah and Jonathan revisit The Blair Witch Project (1999) and Book Of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 (2000) to find out if standing silently in the corner is still scary all these years later, and manage to make themselves kind of sad about everything in the process. Still lots of giggling going on, though.

Remakes! There are loads of them! More than we imagined when we started planning this podcast! 

This episode, we tackle Platinum Dunes and the slasher revival, via Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003), House of Wax (2005), Prom Night (2008), My Bloody Valentine 3D (2009), Friday the 13th (2009), and the ever-controversial Nightmare On Elm Street (2010). There might've been more, too. Honestly, there are tons.

Remember 1999? Y2K terrors, the dawn of a new millennium... and, for some reason, a load of horror movie remakes. In this first proper episode, Jonathan Hatfull and Sarah Dobbs revisit The Haunting and House On Haunted Hill, marvel at the audacity of setting up a production company just to remake William Castle movies, and try to find something good about The Fog. 

And while we're on the topic of supernatural 2000s remakes, we also chat about Thirteen Ghosts, Ghost Ship, and The Amityville Horror. Buckle up, it's gonna be a bumpy ride.

What do you think of when you think about "00s horror"? That's what Jonathan Hatfull and Sarah Dobbs hope to unpack through this brand new shiny podcast series. In this first episode, we explain what 00s horror means to us, why we think it's interesting, and a bit about what's to come. Yes, this whole half hour episode is basically a trailer. But we're very excited about what happens next!
