In a Violent Nature 1:25:55

2 days ago1:25:55

1:25:55

Last year was an eclectic assortment of styles, subgenres, and themes in the horror genre but perhaps one of the most stylistically unconventional was a film called IN A VIOLENT NATURE. On its narrative surface, In a Violent Nature is a pretty standard slasher. But the very big distinction is that nearly all of the film is shown from the vantage point of the steadily-stalking killer as he encroaches upon his prey. It's extremely gory, contains no musical score, and is constructed with several lengthy scenes of natural, predatory patience. It didn't resonate with everyone (even on our episode) but those who loved it find it haunting, meditative, and provocatively thoughtful. Those who didn't find it tedious, puzzling, and not at all fun. What IS fun however, is our conversation. We invite back friend of the show Leland Merritt to help us unpack all of the things this film has on its mind and the ways it can reflect our own meditations on the way we engage with and in habitat the often-dangerous environment and landscape around us.

Red Rooms 1:34:52

1:34:52

We continue our look back at some of the most compelling horror films of 2024 with an unconventional enigma. RED ROOMS took the festival circuit by storm with its haunting, unnerving examination of obsession, technology, and commodified violence. It tells the story of the trial of Ludovic Chevalier, on trial for the hideous murders of three teenage girls, whose deaths were filmed and sold on the dark web. While some enthusiastic fans believe he is innocent, Kelly-Anne (Juliette Gariepy) holds a strange and extreme fascination with the case and will stop at nothing to obtain the elusive footage of the third victim. We are joined by friend of the show, writer-director Michael Felker to unpack the myriad of complex interpretations of this film and the ways it shines an uncomfortable light on our tendencies to stare endlessly at the ugliness we do to one another. Also featuring a special FoG Your Consideration where we share our brief thoughts on Strange Darling, I Saw the TV Glow, Immaculate, and The First Omen, this is a thoughtful and fun conversation that we really hope you enjoy!

1:52:52

We continue our look back at some of the most interesting horror films of 2024 by examining a haunting, dread-soaked thriller from Oz Perkins, LONGLEGS. Starring Maika Monroe and Nicolas Cage (in a completely unhinged performance), Longlegs tells the story of an FBI agent in the mid-90s investigating a series of murders that all appear to be connected to someone who wasn't even there when they happened. We're joined by friends of the show Matt Ruff and Blake Collier, as well as first-time guest Scott Tynes-Miller to discuss the differing experiences with this film, its myriad of theological and sociological interests, and our varied interpretations of its haunting ending. Also featuring a Patron-only "Whatcha" segment, this is a hearty and thoughtful conversation that we really hope you enjoy.

Heretic 1:44:04

1:44:04

We continue our look-back at some of the most interesting horror films of 2024 with a conversation about Heretic. Heretic has a fantastic premise, featuring Hugh Grant as a charismatic but unsettling man who invites two young Mormon missionary ladies (Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East) into his home for a conversation about religion. The ladies quickly realize that their situation is more perilous and sinister than they initially suspected. It's a film that tackles big ideas about religion and why we believe what we believe. It features an incredible sense of dread and three fantastic performances. We're joined by friends of the show Brandon Grafius and Jackson Harper for a thoughtful and heartfelt discussion about the complex nature of faith and why the way we choose to live out our faith can sometimes matter as much, if not more, than what we put our faith in. Also featuring a Patron-only segment wherein we propose possible sequels to Heretic, this is a fun and open-hearted conversation that we really hope you enjoy. 4:09 - HORROR COMICS AND RELIGION, edited by Brandon Grafius and John W.

1:41:05

We continue our slate of episodes looking back at the films of 2024 by covering two films at once! SPEAK NO EVIL was a Dutch horror nightmare written and directed by Christian Tafdrup that shook audiences with its bold, horrific narrative in 2022. Last year, James Watkins adapted an American remake starring James McAvoy and Mackenzie Davis that drastically changed the final third of the story and reframed some differing themes. We're joined by friend of the show, writer and director of last year's What You Wish For, Nicholas Tomnay for a thoughtful and insightful discussion of the film's fascinating and complex themes, including our unwillingness to speak up when we're in awe of charismatic figures and our inability to break free from clear and present danger when we're worried about social norms. Also featuring a Patron-only segment where Lackey the Listicle counts down the 8 greatest horror remakes of all time, this is a hearty and fun conversation that we hope you all enjoy.

The Substance 2:00:20

2:00:20

Welcome to 2025 everyone! We are kicking things off with a couple of big announcements, a few special guests, and an over-sized episode about one of the most fascinating horror films of the last few years: Coralie Fargeat's THE SUBSTANCE. Starring Demi Moore in possibly a career-best performance, The Substance is about an aging fitness starlet who takes an experimental drug to create a younger, "better" version of herself. Things do not go according to plan. At its heart, The Substance is a bold, exceptionally crafted exploration of cultural stigma around aging and appearance. But along the way, it has some profound observations to make about our relationships with ourselves and the ways our perceptions of our bodies can lead us down dark and destructive paths. We're joined by friends of the show Vera Goudie, Jess Fischli, and Jocee Worley for a vulnerable, thoughtful, and occasionally hilarious discussion about the multitude of fascinating things this film has on its mind. Also featuring a Patron-only "Whatcha" segment, this is a hearty and heartfelt conversation that we really hope you'll enjoy. 5:24 - A Few Brief Announcements Patron Only Segment : Whatcha Watchin' / Readin' / Listenin' To? 12:41 - THE SUBSTANCE Find Reed and Tyler's book Valley of the Shadow: The Spiritual Value of Horror here .

Grady Hendrix Interview - Witchcraft for Wayward Girls 47:00

8 weeks ago47:00

47:00

We have something special for you while we're on our top of year break. Friend of the show and bestselling author Grady Hendrix is releasing a new book this week (available as of 1/14) called Witchcraft for Wayward Girls. It's set in the 1970s and follows a series of young teens who are expectant mothers and get sent to a maternity home to await their deliveries. While there, they soon stumble upon an old book detailing spells and witchy rituals. When they try it out, complications ensue... The book is not only a page-turning dramatic thriller, it's also a layered exploration of power struggles, motherhood, systemic control structures, and the cost that comes with exercising power -- or showing mercy. Grady sat down to talk with Reed about his new book, as well as a history of cultural views on witches and witchcraft through the decades. We hope you'll enjoy this interview, and we hope you'll check out Grady's new book!

Nosferatu (2024) 1:17:12

10 weeks ago1:17:12

1:17:12

We've come to the conclusion of another year. And as we do, we also conclude our mini-series covering the three distinct versions of Nosferatu. First, we covered the original silent F. W. Murnau film from 1922, then the Werner Herzog directed remake from 1979. This week, we dive into visionary director Robert Eggers' take on the gothic horror tale. Atmospheric and saturated with ominous shadows, Eggers lends his unique sensibilities (bolstered by two powerhouse performances from Lily-Rose Depp and Bill Skarsgard) to make this tale as haunting as possible. He also layers in some new thematic shades than we've seen before (particularly revolving around the character of Ellen) and amplifies the terror evoked from the character of Count Orlok. We explore all this and more, along with a Patron-only segment which includes our thoughts on recent awards contenders Anora, A Complete Unknown, and Sing Sing. We hope you all have enjoyed this year's episodes and we hope you have a safe happy New Year! 5:31 - Looking back on Fear of God 2024 Patron Only Segment : FoG Your Consideration: Anora, A Complete Unknown, Sing Sing 11:25 - NOSFERATU See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .…

The Stars in the Sky (a story for Christmas) 11:56

11 weeks ago11:56

11:56

Hello friends and FoGgers, we want to wish you a very special Merry Christmas with a unique release this week that we hope you'll enjoy. Several years ago, I (Reed) wrote a handful of short stories for Christmas. One of them involved a shepherd and his young boy sitting and talking on a quiet hillside one uneventful, starlit night. Because of its dialogue-heavy structure, I asked my son if he would like to record a version of it with me. What you are about to hear is that recording. I will resist the urge to provide too many details about the story's meaning. The story should speak for itself, if it speaks at all. But I hope it sparks something for you as you hear it. Perhaps it will make you remember a far-away moment to which you'd like to return. Perhaps it will make you dwell upon a hoped-for dream on the horizon. But most of all, I hope it urges you to pause for a moment -- right where you are, perpetually on the verge of whatever comes next -- and take it all in. All the hope, all the pain, all the mystery. Take a look around. You're in this story too... I promise. Merry Christmas, and God Bless Us Everyone.

1:21:26

It's that time of year again folks! We're keeping up with a recently minted tradition of covering a different version of Charles Dickens' immortal classic A Christmas Carol by discussing the wonderful adaptation by none other than The Muppets. THE MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL is not only full of all the laughter, whimsy, and heartfelt sentiment that have come to be synonymous with the Muppet gang, but it's also one of the most directly faithful adaptations of Dickens' tale ever put to film. We share our favorite moments from the film as well was dive into why its unique interpretation of the story is particularly special. Also featuring a Patron-only section where we discuss the 1987 holiday special THE MUPPET FAMILY CHRISTMAS -- which, if you've never seen it, it's available on YouTube and extremely worth your time -- this is a warm and joyful conversation that we really hope you enjoy!

Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979) 1:16:52

13 weeks ago1:16:52

1:16:52

Continuing our trio of episodes this week about the films which adapt Dracula in a very specific but different kind of way. F. W. Murnau's 1922 silent film Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror was remade in 1979 by now legendary filmmaker Werner Herzog into a contemplative, grim, and lush presentation he called NOSFERATU THE VAMPYRE. Distinguishing itself in many ways from its predecessor while still keeping the primary story intact, Herzog's Nosferatu is saturated with a dim and often oppressively bleak outlook. It's given power by a trio of strong performances in the main roles but also has an overt despair that permeates the entire story. Despite that tone, we have a surprisingly laughter-filled conversation about it. Also featuring a Patron-only discussion about the recent awards contender, CONCLAVE, this episode is a disarming amount of fun and we hope you enjoy it.

57:50

As we prepare for the end of the year -- and for the imminent release of Robert Eggers' Nosferatu -- we're doing a mini-series run through the previous versions of this story. We start by going way back to the silent era of filmmaking with NOSFERATU: A SYMPHONY OF HORROR from 1922. In all practical measures, F. W. Murnau's film is an adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula with names and key details changed. However, a devastating lawsuit at the time all but obliterated most prints of the film from being shown again. Despite these obstacles, it has not only been a classic cherished for decades by horror fans, but one of the most influential horror films ever made. From Count Orlock's iconic look to the tone and structure of its story, it's almost impossible to ignore the impact of this film. Also featuring a Patron-Only segment where we discuss our thoughts about the recent movie musical blockbuster WICKED, this is a brisk and fun conversation that we really hope you enjoy!

1:30:20

Before we draw our slate of 2024 episodes to a close, we wanted to highlight a creepy, atmospheric chiller from Damien McCarthy called ODDITY. Intimate in scope but provocative in its implications, Oddity takes some familiar elements and configures them in decisively unconventional ways. It's a revenge thriller, it's a murder mystery, it's a ghost story, it's a haunted house tale, it's a witchy-golem-slasher-cannibal monster movie, and most of all it's a fascinating creeper. Anchored by strong performances and a sharp script, it subverts expectations and has a unique power to linger with you even after it has finished. We're joined by Gorey Gamer Matt Murray for a Patron-only "Whatcha" segment and to discuss all things Oddity. We hope you enjoy!

When we covered our series on Frankenstein-inspired horror films earlier this year, we capped it off by looking at The Curse of Frankenstein, the foray into classic horror from Hammer Studios. This week, although deferred a bit from our Dracula series, we're doing the same thing with a conversation about HORROR OF DRACULA. This was notable for being the first time the legendary Christopher Lee with bare the fangs of the iconic count, but certainly not the last (Lee would play Dracula 9 more times). We dive into what makes an older film like this so charming and brush up against the sensibilities that might even make them a bit inspiring as well. Also featuring a Patron-only segment of FoG Your Consideration where we share our thoughts on Smile 2, Speak No Evil, and Cuckoo, this is a brisk and fun conversation that we hope you enjoy!
