Light & Shadow: A Horror Podcast

Can horror be considered art? Is art dangerous? Should filmmakers have boundaries? In today’s Women in Horror Month episode, I’m joined by two female horror fans and artists for a discussion about art in horror and what it means to us.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS:

• How long we’ve been making art

• Why horror in art is valuable

• Our favorite artful horror films

• Themes in Velvet Buzzsaw

• Our favorite dark pieces of art

• Horror artists to keep an eye on

In honor of Women in Horror Month, I'm featuring a conversation with the woman who started it all for me - my Mom! We’re talking about the state of Stephen King adaptations, what films we're looking forward to this year, and more.

According to folklore, blues musician Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil at the crossroads in exchange for great talent and fame. He achieved legendary status and his music continues to be influential to this day. The story is simple and familiar, but it’s genesis and mystery continue to be relevant in pop culture.

In today's episode, I explore the life of Robert Johnson, the mystery of the 27 club and the Faustian film Heartless from 2009.
