In Episode 30 of Vox Macabre, Kit Mann dives into the chilling atmospheres of three iconic horror films that leave us questioning what lurks within the shadows and mists of our world.
The Mist (2007)
Kit starts with a deep dive into Frank Darabont's adaptation of Stephen King's novella, The Mist. This film is a masterclass in tension and human psychology, exploring the terror of being trapped in a small town grocery store while an unnatural mist rolls in, bringing with it creatures from another dimension. Kit explores the film's shocking ending, its commentary on human nature, and how it remains one of the most talked-about horror films of the 2000s.
The Fog (1980)
Next, Kit revisits John Carpenter's classic, The Fog, where a coastal town's dark history comes back to haunt it, literally. Kit examines Carpenter's skillful use of atmosphere and suspense to create a ghost story that is both eerie and unforgettable. He also discusses the film's iconic scenes and the legacy it has left in the horror genre.
Horror Express (1972)
Finally, Kit takes us aboard Horror Express, a lesser-known gem featuring horror legends Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing. This film blends science fiction with gothic horror, as an ancient creature is unearthed and wreaks havoc on a trans-Siberian train. Kit breaks down the film's unique storyline, its place in horror history, and why it's a must-watch for fans of classic horror.
Listener Emails
In this episode's listener emails segment, Kit answers questions from fans about their favorite horror films that utilize atmosphere to create tension. Emily from Sedona asks about other horror movies with shocking endings, while Ryan from Asheville shares his thoughts on the scariest fog scenes in horror.
Campfire Tales: "The Traveler"
To close out the episode, Kit shares a new Campfire Tale titled "The Traveler". This eerie story follows someone on a road trip who keeps seeing the same person at every stop, no matter how far they drive or how much time passes. It's a spine-chilling tale that will leave you looking over your shoulder the next time you're on the road.
