As part of Talking Strange's special Spooky Season coverage, Aaron Sagers teamed with the Reno-Tahoe Territory to explore the unexplained phenomena of VC. Recording this episode live from the allegedly haunted St. Mary's Art Center in Virginia City, Aaron speaks with Paula Burris of WIGS (Women Investigating Ghost Sightings) and the resident paranormal investigator at St. Mary’s Art Center (a hospital that ran from 1873 until the 1940s, which now serves as a gallery, event space and artist retreat).

Star Megan Suri (Netflix's Never Have I Ever) and writer/director Bishal Dutta join host Aaron Sagers to discuss It Lives Inside, the new horror movie opening September 22, 2023, which brings an ancient South Asian demon to the Los Angeles suburbs.

A teen-focused film, It Lives Inside tells the story of Samidha — or "Sam" — a high school student in L.A. desperate to fit in. She rejects her Indian culture (and her Indian mother’s old ways) in an effort to be like everyone else. But when a mythological demonic spirit called a Pischach latches onto her former best friend, she must come to terms with her heritage in order to defeat it. From the producers of Get Out, and distributed by Neon, the film is written by Bishal Dutta and Ashish Mehta. After generating buzz at SXSW last March 2023, the film finally arrives in theaters September 22, 2023.

The movie evokes modern supernatural horror like The Conjuring as well as suburban teen horror flicks like A Nightmare on Elm Street, but does so by introducing Western audiences to South Asian Indian lore and demons. The film is the feature directorial debut by Dutta, who was born in India, grew up in California since the age of four, and was inspired by a scary story told to him by his grandfather.

Aaron spoke with Dutta at San Diego Comic Con last July, and with star Megan Suri the week of Sept 18, leading up to the film's release.

In the Dark Horse Comics title Dead Mall, available now as a trade paperback, five teens explore an abandoned shopping mall, only to discover that not only is the mall not empty, it’s driven by an evil force, and populated by strange creatures — and everything seems quite hungry. Written by Adam Cesare with art by David Stoll, Dead Mall is a supernatural cosmic horror and fresh entry to the mall horror subgenre that calls to mind The Shining, Hellraiser, and the works of Lovecraft. Cesare and Stoll join host Aaron Sagers to talk about what makes malls scary, the new kind of haunted houses in America, and the urban legends/Internet folklore of modern Americana.
