  • HLP E43: Alien (1979)

    Join Will and Chris in The Horror Lab as they explore an absolute horror classic--Ridley Scott's, Alien!

    Before the franchise became primarily science fiction, the original was a bona fide horror movie. With a claustrophobic setting and atmosphere, the film ratchets up the tension until it (literally) bursts!

    Join them as they consider themes, screenwriter intent, feminism, and more. You won't want to miss this discussion!

  • HLP E42: Onibaba (1964)

    WE'RE BACK IN THE LAB!

    Join Will and Chris as they turn on the lights, dust off The Horror Lab, and jump into a wild and strange and crazy horror movie--Onibaba.

    This one is considered a classic, and in lots of ways, it absolutely is. But, it's also a strange and wild ride for the duration. Less a horror movie built on jump scares or overt horror, this one uses lighting, shadow, and score to create an anxious and unnerving film.

  • HLP E41: Shutter Island (2010) (w/Horror Hour with the Hanna's)

    Join Will and special guests Matt and Hannah from Horror Hour with the Hanna's as they discuss a terrific and underrated horror movie--Shutter Island!

    When you think of Leonardo DiCaprio, it's likely horror movies don't come to mind; but, back in 2010 he starred in a tense and atmospheric horror film. Join Will, Matt, and Hannah as they explore themes, and dive deep into one of the best book-to-film adaptations in recent memory!

  • HLP E37: Us (2019)

    Welcome to the Horror Lab, where we dissect the best in horror movies each week!

    In this episode, Will and Chris dissect one of the best horror movies in recent memory--Us. An absolute banger from Jordan Peele, this movie is layered like an onion!

  • HLP E36: Barbarian (2022)

    Welcome to the Horror Lab, where we dissect the best in horror movies each week!

    In this episode, Will and SPECIAL GUEST HOST Jonathan WK dissect a pretty terrific horror movie--Barbarian. This one grew on Will--loved it the first time, hated it the second, loved it the third.

    Jonathan is a screenwriter who brings a unique POV to filmmaking, storytelling, and more. Listen in as Will interviews Jonathan--if you love horror movies, story-crafting, and storytelling, you'll appreciate this episode!

    Join Will and Jonathan (and Chris at the VERY END) as they explore movie themes, consider the brilliance of the filmmaking approach, and remind listeners that the scariest monsters are human monsters!

  • HLP E33: Beetlejuice (1988)

    Welcome to the Horror Lab, where we dissect the best in horror movies each week!

    In this episode, Will and Chris dissect a hilarious (and, at times, cringy!) movie--Tim Burton's, Beetlejuice! Even though it may seem like it, this one isn't a kids movie--but it is a pretty terrific dark comedy horror.

    Join them in the Horror Lab as they consider themes, explore Tim Burton's visionary filmmaking gifts, and explain what makes portions of the movie so cringeworthy!

  • HLP E32: The Blair Witch Project (1999)

    Welcome to the Horror Lab Podcast, where we dissect the best in horror movies each week!

    In this episode, Will and Chris explore (no pun intended) a classic found-footage horror film: The Blair Witch Project! One of the most influential horror films in recent memory--and a huge catalyst for EVERY found footage movie of the past 20+ years--this one is more style than substance.

    Join them in the Horror Lab as they consider the film's influence and legacy, dissect themes and theories, and marvel at the marketing genius surrounding The Blair Witch Project.
