So, You Like Horror? Podcast #132- Coraline
This week on So, You Like Horror?, Jake is joined by his 10-year-old daughter and co-host, Sophie, for a trip through the little door into Coraline. Directed by Henry Selick and based on Neil Gaiman’s novel, this stop-motion horror adventure makes a seemingly perfect home feel like a nightmare. We follow Coraline’s journey from the Pink Palace to the Other World, discussing the button-eyed Other Mother, the ghost children, and the film’s creepiest moments. Along the way, Sophie shares her thoughts as we explore family, friendship, courage, and why getting everything you want might come at a terrible price. Does Coraline hit differently when you watch it as a parent? And what makes this animated film so unsettling? Join our father-daughter conversation to find out. Full spoilers for Coraline.

So, You Like Horror? Podcast #131- Halloween III: Season of the Witch
No Michael Myers. Just three Halloween masks, one sinister company, and a commercial you’ll never get out of your head. This week on So, You Like Horror?, I’m diving into Halloween III: Season of the Witch. From Dr. Challis’s investigation to Silver Shamrock’s deadly masks, I’m breaking down the story, Conal Cochran’s plan, the disturbing test-room scene, and the desperate final plea to stop the broadcast. I’ll also explore the film’s themes of advertising, corporate control, and ancient sacrifice, and whether the Halloween franchise’s attempt to move beyond Michael Myers deserved a warmer welcome. Does Halloween III stand on its own as a Halloween horror classic? Join me for a solo discussion with full spoilers.

Along the way, we talk about Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins’s performances, Catherine Martin’s fight to survive, Lecter’s escape, and that basement confrontation. What makes Clarice such a compelling hero, and why does she find herself drawn to Lecter despite knowing what he’s capable of?

So, You Like Horror? Podcast 3128- The Exorcism of Emily Rose
In this episode of So, You Like Horror?, I’m joined by returning co-host Midwest Scott to discuss the 2005 supernatural horror film The Exorcism of Emily Rose. Blending possession horror with courtroom drama, religious themes, and medical mystery, the film asks one central question: what really happened to Emily Rose? We break down the movie’s most memorable moments, Jennifer Carpenter’s intense performance, Father Moore’s role in Emily’s final days, the tension between faith and science, and whether the film truly gives both sides of the story a fair chance. We also discuss the exorcism itself, the 3:00 a.m. imagery, the courtroom verdict, and the bigger question of responsibility surrounding Emily’s death. Was Emily suffering from a serious medical condition, was she truly possessed, or was the truth somewhere in between? Join us as we revisit one of the most unique possession films of the 2000s and decide where The Exorcism of Emily Rose stands within religious horror.

So, You Like Horror? Podcast #127- Aliens 40th Anniversary
This week on So, You Like Horror?, I welcome back Maryland Phil and Joe KW to celebrate the 40th anniversary of James Cameron’s 1986 science-fiction horror classic, Aliens. We discuss Ellen Ripley’s return, the Colonial Marines, Newt, Bishop, Carter Burke, the introduction of the Alien Queen, and the film’s unforgettable blend of action, suspense, and body horror. We also compare Aliens with Ridley Scott’s original Alien, examine the themes of trauma, motherhood, corporate greed, and military arrogance, and ask whether the sequel should be considered horror, action, or both. Forty years later, does Aliens still rank among the greatest sequels ever made?

So, You Like Horror? Podcast #126- Black Mirror
This week on So, You Like Horror?, I'll dive into the dark, strange, and disturbing world of Netflix’s Black Mirror. Rather than breaking down every season, this solo episode looks at some of the stories that best define the series and asks the big question: Is Black Mirror actually horror? From the obsession of “The Entire History of You” and the grief of “Be Right Back” to the public cruelty of “White Bear,” the supernatural horror of “Demon 79,” the celebrity exploitation of “Mazey Day,” and the relentless machine terror of “Metalhead,” I explore how Black Mirror uses science fiction, technology, surveillance, grief, isolation, and human behavior to create some of television’s most unsettling stories. I'll also discuss episodes including “Nosedive,” “Shut Up and Dance,” “Playtest,” “Beyond the Sea,” and “Arkangel,” along with honorable mentions like “Common People,” “White Christmas,” and “San Junipero.” We also dig into the bigger themes running through the series: privacy, artificial intelligence, digital consciousness, corporate control, identity, voyeurism, and why technology usually isn’t the real monster in Black Mirror. So where does Black Mirror fit between science fiction, thriller, satire, and horror? And what has made the series such a lasting part of modern pop culture? Press play and take a look into the Black Mirror.

So, You Like Horror? Podcast #125- True Blood
In this episode of So, You Like Horror?, I’m joined by my wife, Sarah, as we head back to Bon Temps for a full retrospective on HBO’s True Blood. We look back at the series’ Southern Gothic atmosphere, the vampire boom of the late 2000s, and the characters who made the show unforgettable, including Sookie Stackhouse, Bill Compton, Eric Northman, Pam, Lafayette, Tara, Jason, and Jessica. We also talk about the show’s strongest seasons, villains like Maryann and Russell Edgington, the arrival of witches, werewolves, faeries, and werepanthers, and whether True Blood eventually became too crowded with supernatural mythology. Along the way, we cover the rise of Billith, the Authority, and Lilith; the show’s use of religion, prejudice, addiction, sexuality, and politics; and whether the final season gave these characters the endings they deserved. More than a decade after the series ended, does True Blood still hold up? Is it really a horror series, or is it equal parts vampire romance, supernatural soap opera, dark comedy, and Southern Gothic chaos? We also share our favorite characters, villains, storylines, biggest disappointments, and where True Blood ranks among vampire television shows. If you’re a fan of True Blood, vampire horror, HBO horror series, Southern Gothic stories, or supernatural television, join us as we return to Bon Temps and remember one of the wildest vampire shows ever made.
