Long Legged Beasties

This week's episode focuses on Tigers Are Not Afraid, and starts with a conundrum: Is this particular movie, directed by Issa Lopez, a horror movie at all? Fortunately, we have apparent polymath A.T. White, who wrote, directed, and scored the wonderful movie Starfish, on hand to discuss the vagaries of what does and doesn't constitute a horror movie. It turns out that White hears this question a lot about his own movie, which dances along the line of sci-fi and horror.

In this week's episode, the Beasties are joined by Hell House, LLC writer and director Stephen Cognetti to discuss the classic 1997 hell-in-space horror flick Event Horizon. Starring Laurence Fishburne, Sam Neill, and Kathleen Quinlan, and directed by Paul W. S. Anderson, Event Horizon is another horror film that hit theaters to terrible reviews but has since developed a cult following.

In this week's episode, the Beasties dive into the deep, dark world of underwater drilling, hungry merfolk, and something that looks an awful lot like Cthulhu. We're discussing William Eubank's 2020 sci-fi horror Underwater, which stars -- among others -- Kristen Stewart as mechanical engineer Norah Price.

In this week's episode, the Beasties dive out of their cars and into your nightmares, or something like that.  We'll be discussing Wes Craven's surrealistic 1984 horror classic A Nightmare on Elm Street, which debuted Johnny Depp, razer gloves, and several tanker trucks of blood.

This week, the Beasties tackle the Argentinian feature Terrified. Guillermo del Toro is producing an English-language remake of this suburban nightmare, and a sequel is in the works, too. Maybe by then we'll have some idea what in blue blazes is going on.

Sure, the title animals of Hitchcock's classic are terrifying, but what's going on with those children? Also, Brian blows Susan's mind with his theory about the ending.

What better way to kick off a podcast about horror movie genres than with a film that encompasses several of them? You may think you know which category John Carpenter's The Thing (1982) should be in, but after Susan, Brian, and Adam are done talking, you may just change your mind.
