Light & Shadow: A Horror Podcast episodes

  • The Wendigo: Pet Sematary, Ravenous, Hannibal

    The American wilderness holds many legendary monsters, but possibly the oldest of them is the Wendigo. Originating from the lore of Algonquin tribes, the Wendigo is a tall, thin, horned creature who has a taste for human flesh. Real life stories of cannibalism and the Wendigo legend have influenced several films over the years, taking us on a journey into one of the darker corners of the human experience.

    In this episode, I discuss:

    • Real-life cases of cannibalism

    • The Wendigo by Algernon Blackwood

    • Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark 

    • Pet Sematary (1989)

    • Ravenous (1999)

    • Fear Itself: Skin and Bones

    • Hannibal (TV Series)

    • The Whistlers (NoSleep Podcast)

  • Dead of Winter: Krampus, Black Christmas, The Thing and More

    Fall is the time that really reigns for horror fans, but I have found that the winter season proves to be a pretty great time for horror as well. With the longer nights and colder weather, I find it's a good time to snuggle up and retreat into something spooky during the sugar coated season.

    Tune in for a brief history of Christmas and a discussion of my favorite holiday and winter films.

    In this episode, I discuss:

    • Christmas origins

    • Krampus

    • Black Christmas

    • Misery

    • The Thing

  • The Current State of Horror

    Horror has always existed on the fringe of entertainment, but when you take a closer look, you'll see that it holds a surprising amount of truth about humanity, and seems to make the most relevant statements about our culture at any given time. Horror has always excelled when society is unstable, and I think we're living in quite an interesting time for scary stories.

    In the very first episode, I tell you a little bit about who I am and discuss why horror is currently so popular in today's culture.

  • Coming Soon
    For the past few years, I’ve been writing a horror blog. I enjoy writing, but I’m alot better at talking, so I’ve decided to switch the format of Chiaroscuro Horror from a blog to a podcast.
    The first episode is coming soon, and I hope you’ll join me on this little journey. As John Carpenter is so fond of saying, we’ll gather round the fire for storytime. We’ll share some dark tales, and maybe learn a little bit about each other along the way.
