    Get ready to step back into the golden age of horror! In this episode of The Retro Wave, El Tiburon is joined by guest experts John Webber and Joe Townsel to dive deep into 1950s horror cinema. Together they rank their favourite 1950’s horror movies, explore what makes that decade so influential for the genre, and share behind-the-scenes anecdotes, cult classic picks, and maybe a few surprises.

    From monster mayhem to psychological chillers, the 1950s produced horror films that still resonate today—featuring social anxieties, atomic age fears, and imaginative creature features.

    John and Joe bring their comedy and horror-novelist lenses to the discussion, making this episode equal parts fun and spine-tingling.

    What you’ll hear:

    • Their top picks of 1950s horror films and why they stand out
    • The themes that defined 1950s horror — from post-war anxieties to monster metaphors
    • Why films like Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) and House on Haunted Hill (1959) remain essential viewing.
    • Recommended lesser-seen titles for fans of retro horror
    • Fun banter and moments of convergence between comedians, novelists & horror fans

    Why you should listen:
    If you’re a horror lover, a fan of vintage cinema, or someone curious about how the past shapes modern scares — this episode delivers the trifecta: nostalgia, insight, and laughs. Whether you’re just discovering 1950s horror or you know it inside out, you’ll gain fresh perspective from El Tiburon’s dynamic interplay with his guests.

    • Top 5 (or maybe 10) standout VHS cover designs — what makes them iconic
    • Nostalgic memories: renting tapes, hunting for gems, and tape shelf glory
    • How cover art influenced purchase decisions (and shelf pride)
