About this listen

In Episode 99 of So, You Like Horror?, host Jake Dante is joined by Mannuel C. as they dive into Sinister (2012)... one of the most terrifying supernatural horror films of the 2010s. Directed by Scott Derrickson and starring Ethan Hawke, Sinister follows true-crime writer Ellison Oswalt as he uncovers a series of horrifying Super 8 home movies tied to a pagan deity known as Bughuul. The discussion breaks down the film’s haunting imagery, disturbing sound design, and the psychological unraveling that makes it “scientifically the scariest movie ever made.”

We explore how Sinister compares to Insidious and The Conjuring, analyze themes of obsession, ambition, and moral decay, and ask whether the true horror lies in the demon or in Ellison himself. From cursed films to corrupted innocence, this episode is a deep dive into the darkness that keeps horror fans awake at night.
