Episode 131 - Horror Through the Decades: 1930s (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For our second episode in this series, we move into the 1930s. Beyond Universal's horror boom—and, honestly, the emergence of the horror genre as we know it—there was a lot going on during this decade. With the Great Depression, the introduction of the Hays Code, and another World War on the horizon, audiences continued to escape into the world of monsters. But while these films are considered "old classics" today, they still contain some pretty dark subject matter. So join us as we explore this
Episode 130: Twice Told Tales - Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (1973 & 2010) We know we've covered our share of made-for-TV movies, especially from the 70s, but this time out we're looking at a staple from the 70s that was later remade in 2010, with none other than Guillermo del Toro producing. The story is about an old house that has something living in the sealed up fireplace. And when you're warned not to open it, maybe you should listen. For those that grew up in the '70s, the original was one that gave that generation a lot
Episode 129 - Horror Through the Decades: 1920s (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We know this isn't the first time we've preached the wonders of silent films, but there are so many amazing movies from that era. As the horror historians that we all are, it's always fascinating to look back at where it all began. Fans often point to the 1930s and the Universal Studios classics as "the beginning," but horror was already there long before then—even if no one was necessarily calling these movies horror films yet.

Episode 128 - Cryptids (From the Last Decade) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Hallow (2015), The Ritual (2017), and Antlers (2021) Cryptids occupy a couple of different categories in modern life. One of them is fun, if a bit kitschy and silly: think concrete bigfoot statues sitting in whimsical gardens or funny little Mothman plaques hanging on the wall. But another is truly terrifying, buried down deep below the surface of our culture and our geography, a place where most people refuse to even touch the soil, much less dig. On this episode, we are going to dig deeply
Episode 127 - Shock Theater (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Believe it or not, there was a time when instant access to hundreds of horror movies didn't exist. Scary thought, huh? Before the late 1950s, unless you caught a movie in the theater, you probably weren't going to see it again, especially when it came to the classic monster films like Dracula and Frankenstein . But in October 1957, Universal released 52 of its horror films to television in what became known as the Shock Theater package. To help promote the broadcasts, television stations were en
