You think you know the story?

We're back!! (finally) and for this 42nd episode of the podcast we're giving you the Horror 101 treatment of a more recent genre title. After receiving messages from our listeners requesting a modern film being dissected we bowed to YOUR pressure and we're pleased to serve up our tribute to Drew Goddard's Cabin in The Woods. Admittedly, this was our most challenging edit yet. How do you take a film that is so unorthodox and filled with dozens, if not HUNDREDS of horror references and tropes and try to present it to our listeners in the Horror 101 style? It was NOT an easy task. We give you a little history on the writer, Joss Whedon. We'll follow 5 youths on a terrifying and funny adventure that not only spotlights the usual molds that a horror film adheres to but also breaks the mold all at the same time. Its another podcast filled with soundtrack music and clips from the scenes we discuss. Enjoy the show! And thanks for your patience waiting for this one.
