  • HLP E28: Misery (1990)

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

    In this episode, Will and Chris explore a terrific and disturbing horror movie--Misery! This is the first Stephen King film adaptation we've reviewed and it's arguably the best one.

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

    In this episode, Will and Chris explore a truly disturbing and terrifying film--Saint Maud! A truly elevated horror experience, Rose Glass' directorial debut was a tense and tragic journey into the depths of despair and madness. This one sits firmly at #7 in Will's T25, and could go higher!

  • HLP E26: Get Out (2017)

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

    In this episode, Will and Chris explore a wicked smart, scathing, and truly scary movie--Get Out! Jordan Peele's directorial debut was a banger, with easily one of the sharpest horror movies in recent memory!

    Join Will and Chris in the Horror Lab as they dissect primary themes, consider the effects of racism, appropriation, tokenism, and more. Though Get Out isn't a traditional horror movie, it's a super effective scary movie--with human monsters as the villains!

  • HLP E12: The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005)

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

    Horror movies are a great viewing experience--most are just downright fun to watch! But the best horror movies also communicate deep themes and ideas. Join Will and Chris each week as they explore the depth of horror movies, extract various themes, and discuss a theory or two!

    In this episode, Will and Chris jump into a terrific horror movie, The Exorcism of Emily Rose. This one is currently sitting at #10 on Will's T25 list! This one is an interesting horror movie, as it also doubles as a courtroom drama that tells the scary story as flashbacks. Oh, and it's loosely based on the real-life exorcism of Annaliese Michel--which is also terrifying (and tragic) in its own right.

    Join them in the Horror Lab as they explore the deeper themes within the movie, work through some horror movie tropes, and appreciate a terrific performances from its principle cast!

  • HLP E9: Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)

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

    Horror movies are a great viewing experience--most are just downright fun to watch! But the best horror movies also communicate deep themes and ideas. Join Will and Chris each week as they explore the depth of horror movies and extract various themes, and discuss a theory or two!

    In this episode, Will and Chris plunge into a visually beautiful, but otherwise shallow, movie--Bram Stoker's Dracula. This is a film with an all-star cast and A-list director; and is one that tries to say a whole lot, but ultimately comes up short! Join them in the Horror Lab as they explore the shortcomings of the movie, discuss approaches that might have made it work, and consider prominent themes throughout!
