Episode 82 : Jett Stanton on Zombies, Gentleman Vampires, & What's Horrific About Horror (SWEARS)
What makes horror ... horrifying? Join us and special guest, musician, and horror aficionado Jett Stanton. Stanton's knowledge of horror runs deep, and our conversation ranges from frank discussions about what works (or doesn't) about classic works of horror (Bram Stoker's "Dracula," "The Fly," "Scream"), the works which shaped us as kids ("Flight Plan," "Scream," "The Thing"), and new forces at work in the genre/mode/cat ("Get Out," "A Quiet Place," "The Walking Dead"). Stanton knows so much, and we only just manage to scratch the surface when it comes to big questions like: Where do the fears at the root of horror come from? What do we do *without* fear? What roles do trauma and disgust play in our creation and reception of works of horror?
A couple of quick TWs: There are mentions of suicide and sexual assault in this episode as we discuss "Alien" and a number of other key works sporting the horror affect. Also there are lots of swears in this episode.
