Greetings, folks, and welcome back. This week on the podcast, we examine the shadowy legacy of one of horror’s most iconic tales, Nosferatu.

Joined by guest hosts Amy and Jenn, we explore how this vampiric nightmare has evolved across generations by comparing Werner Herzog’s somber 1979 reimagining Nosferatu the Vampyre with Robert Eggers’ highly stylized and psychologically harrowing 2024 interpretation.

We begin by tracing the origin of Count Orlok back to the 1922 silent classic and examine how its unauthorized adaptation of Dracula helped shape the language of horror cinema. From there, we break down the distinct tones, themes, and visual styles of the two remakes—Herzog’s mournful plague-soaked atmosphere versus Eggers’ surreal descent into obsession and dread.

We compare portrayals of Orlok himself, with Klaus Kinski’s tragic isolation contrasting Bill Skarsgård’s primal menace. The conversation dives deep into symbolism and German Expressionist influences that haunt both versions.

Whether you're drawn to the slow decay of the 1979 film or the claustrophobic terror of 2024, this episode dares to ask: Which Nosferatu lingers in your nightmares?

Greetings, folks! This week on the podcast, I'm joined by George Ivanoff as we take a deep dive into the apocalyptic trilogy that redefined modern horror—28 Days Later, 28 Weeks Later, and the freshly released 28 Years Later.

We begin by revisiting 28 Days Later, Danny Boyle’s 2002 classic that launched fast-moving infected into the genre and delivered a raw, emotionally charged vision of a crumbling society. The film's meditations on loneliness, moral decay, and the fragility of civilization still resonate, especially in today’s world.

Next, we explore 28 Weeks Later, a sequel that shifts focus from personal survival to institutional failure, showing how military efforts to contain the Rage Virus collapse under pressure, leading to brutal consequences.

Finally, we unpack 28 Years Later, a bold continuation that pushes the franchise into a post-pandemic landscape. Set decades after the original outbreak, the film centers on a new generation, examining tribalism, generational trauma, and hope amid a fractured, quarantined Britain.

What's up, you culty loons? This week on the podcast, I sit down with Scott Thomas to dissect one of horror’s most infamous remake showdowns—The Wicker Man (1973) vs. The Wicker Man (2006). We explore the allure of the 1973 folk horror classic, examining its themes of religious conflict, sexual repression, blind faith, and cultural relativism.

Then, the conversation shifts to Nicolas Cage’s wild 2006 remake—a film that’s equal parts psychological thriller, fever dream, and meme-worthy chaos. The episode dives deep into how both versions tackle community versus individualism, human sacrifice, and the symbolic power of ritual.

From the haunting folk songs of the original to the unforgettable “Not the bees!” moment, this discussion pulls apart the artistic intentions, thematic contrasts, character dynamics, and cult legacies of two very different films with the same burning finale.

Whether you're a purist or just here for the insanity, this episode offers a thoughtful journey through one of horror’s strangest cinematic rituals.
