Two of the most influential movies in the horror genre are Ringu and Ju-On. These movies started in Japan but had American Hollywood remakes. Larry and I skip the white Western interpretations and go straight to the source. We end up talking about supernatural horror, the first horror chain letter, and horror that lingers. 

Are you unappreciative of the life you have? Don't be! Or else the jigsaw killer will change your mind about it... This episode of The Outside Story is about the subgenre of gore, featuring the two films Saw and Raw. We discuss the concepts of escape rooms, appreciation for the life you're given, expectations of women in society, and sex.

Cosmic horror (or sci-fi horror) is similar to paranormal or supernatural horror in that it deals with an outside force that we are either unprepared to deal with or is something outside of our control. In this episode, we talk about the films Annihilation and Alien. Some things we discuss include change/transformation, cancer, Larry's phobia/trigger, and sci-fi tropes.

Supernatural or paranormal horror is one of the common subgenres of horror that we see today. In this episode we talk about The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Deliver Us From Evil, and The Conjuring. Things that we discuss include: demystifying exorcism, character tropes (good and bad), and a real life exorcism story.

Some subgenres of horror are much more closer to reality than we would like. Found footage blurs this line with its amateur videography style and use of handheld camcorders. On this episode we explore three films: The Blair Witch Project, The Fourth Kind, and Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum.
