Another Wednesday is upon us as the team covers the 1963 film THE BIRDS! Is this one of Alfred Hitchcock's last classics? Why is the team thoroughly depressed by the end of the episode? What Hollywood bullshit must we endure this week?! Listen to this week's episode to find out! 

Consider giving us 5 Stars on iTunes so we don't ever have to discuss Bodega Bay ever again. 

Robert Eggers, you're a mad man! This week the team at The Horrorble People's Podcast bring you a deep dive into pilgrim history and the movie that brought it to the modern day. That's right, we're covering the 2015 hit THE WITCH: A NEW ENGLAND FOLKTALE, released by A24. 

Follow Anthony and Alix as they bring you an breakdown of life in early colonial history, and how a bold filmmaker used his love his said history and a ton of primary resources to create a chilling directorial debut. They also take a look at how it was picked up by A24, the barren shooting conditions (no cell phone service, the horror), and a deep dive into the themes of the film in an extended discussion. 

Fun AND Intellectual, isn't that worth 5 stars? We pray to Black Phillip it is!

It's a semi-delirious episode this week on the Horrorble People's Podcast as Anthony and Alix trudge through the horrors of the dark web as well as Alix placating her super hyperactive cats. For the first time ever the team covers the sequel of a series before the original and for good reason. What about this film sets it apart from the original? Why did it under perform expectations? Why is the distortion in this movie timed so perfectly? Listen to find out this week! Forgive the cat noises, they just wanted to be apart of something.

This might be the team's favorite one yet. This week The Horrorble People's Podcast sticks to its bi-annual commitment to all things Halloween by exploring the most divisive film in the franchise: 1982's HALLOWEEN III: SEASON OF THE WITCH. 

Anthony and Alix take a look back to a time when the Halloween franchise experimented with becoming an anthology series with Tommy Lee Wallace's directorial debut, and how it almost destroyed the franchise. Why did original screenwriter Nigel Kneale sue to get his named removed from the film? What was the special clause in Stacy Nelkin's contract that made shooting her sex scene more "technical?" Perhaps most importantly: How did Universal drop the ball and what happens to you in Hollywood when you almost destroy a franchise? 

Find out about all this, and some talk of tech horror and Frankie Munez, by tuning in! 

Also, how about considering giving us 5 stars every time Tom Atkin's character shows signs of his crippling alcoholism (it's a lot)?

The team goes berserk for Guillermo Del Toro this week on HPP as they cover his third film and his self proclaimed favorite, The Devil's Backbone! 

What personal connection does Guillermo Del Toro have with the Spanish Civil War to inspire him to make this film? How did his first two films both save this film and also keep it from being made? Why are we yelling about how much we hate the Weinsteins....again? Listen to find out the answers to all of this and more! 

Santi says give us 5 stars on iTunes, unless you killed him.

HAPPY 50 EPISODES EVERYBODY! To celebrate The Horrorble People's Podcast is covering the most quintessential Halloween film not named after the holiday (and far less bloody). Join the team as they look into the creation of a childhood staple for many, the Bette Midler vehicle that is HOCUS POCUS, directed by Kenny Ortega. 

On this glorious episode the team explores how a bed time story from an ambitious, Halloween obsessed producer turned into one of the most iconic Halloween films ever made. Why did this film go through over 11 writers before finally being made (hint, a combination of Bette Midler and a much darker original script)? What essential subplot was removed and how did it change the film? Just how much did Sarah Jessica Parker love riding that broom (another hint: a whole lot!)? There's even talk of sibling stories and Alix's affinity for a fella named Thackery. 

Thanks for sticking with us for 50 episodes! Here's to many, many more!

The team takes a journey back to found footage this October with 2008's Lake Mungo! Special guest Tristan joins them as Alix laments how truly terrifying the film was while all three discuss the liberal use of dead body pictures used in the film. Fun was had by all. Just how terrified was Alix? How does this film hold up in comparison to other early 2000's found footage films? You wanna see a body? Listen to find out the answer to these questions and more!

It's October and The Horrorble People's Podcast is kicking off the glorious month with something different, but truly terrifying - and we've enlisted the help of N4L Gaming to get it done! What is this big, laborious project? How about a game - but not just any game. On the one year anniversary of this podcast the team has gathered together to bring you the story of the birth of a new genre in horror, and the journey to get there. That's right, we're covering the one and only (unless you can't all the re-releases) RESIDENT EVIL, directed by Shinji Mikami and released on the Sony Playstation. 

Join Anthony and Alix AND another Alex as they dive deep into the beginnings of Capcom and how they made a movie licensed game about a haunted house and used to to build one of the most successful gaming franchises of all time! We follow director Shinji Mikami from his time making Disney games to eventually REmaking his own horror classic (and see how it holds up). We also look at the 5th generation of consoles, and how the Sony Playstation cemented itself in the gaming industry - turning from Underdog to full on titan. This is a big, history heavy episode so strap in and watch out for mutant dogs!

How do you top off the opening month of SEASON 2 and SEQUEL SEPTEMBER? Well, how about a look at the follow up to the granddaddy of all slashers (And presumably our episodes)? That's right, Norman Bates is back and the team takes a deep dive into how that happened as they look at 1983's franchise revival film PSYCHO II - directed by Richard Franklin. 

Learn all about how the original author used the property to satirize the slasher trend, and how Universal attempted to salvage the "Psycho" name with a TV writer and Hitchcock's Australian Protege. What other options was the studio considering before Anthony Perkins agreed to return as the icon Norman Bates (spoiler alert, rhymes with Whistopher Chalkin)? And speaking of Perkins, why did Meg Tilly annoy him so much? Anthony and Alix also take an unexpectedly deep dive into other attempted franchise revivals and they even get one more John Carpenter story in there somehow. You know how it goes. 

As always, rate - like - subscribe - and always remember that Vera Miles is a true G.

It's a challenge this week on The Horrorble People's Podcast as the team tackles the straight-to-DVD follow up to critical success: The Descent with...you guessed it... The Descent Part 2. The team struggles to find what the movie did right even in a sea of sequel rules it... technically successfully executes. Can Anthony forgive this movie for it's sins and crimes against society? Will Alix manage to find something to enjoy? Listen to find out! 

Give us a 5 star review to insure we never discuss this movie ever again in any professional capacity.
