In the world of genre and fandom, the universal currency is passion. Fans of different genres normally would not mix, but there are areas of overlap, LIKE a GENRE VENN DIAGRAM. Join me and H4H producer, Lisa Gorski, as we discuss the overlap between two of the most passionate fandoms, HORROR AND SCIENCE FICTION. (shock: Lisa is NOT a horror fan!) #horror #scifi #lovecraftcountry #sayhorror #alien #thething #TheExpanse #TheRitual

Episode 093- Again, Volatile Substance: Caligari Goes to the Oscars
2020 is the 100-year anniversary of 'The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari', the German Expressionism film that created the visual and thematic template for the modern horror movie.
And I think it is very fitting that three films up for Best Picture at the Academy Awards this year were horror films in disguise.
Join me as I show how three very different films carry the Caligari DNA and continue to expand the language of the modern horror film.
I hope you enjoy the show!
Movies Discussed:
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920)
The Shape of Water (2017)
Get Out (2017)
Combat Shock (1984)
Joker (2019)
The Dark Knight (2008)
The Man Who Laughs (1928)
Taxi Driver (1976)
The King of Comedy (1982)

Episode 095- Horror Double Feature -Part One: The Unholy Three ft. Jon Kitley, Bryan Martinez, and S.A. Bradley
Halloween is a state of mind.
We survived the weirdness of Halloween 2020 and now we're in the final stretches of the Year the Wouldn't Die.
I think we all deserve a little more Halloween this year, so H4H is doing a Horror Double Feature with two podcasts of extended conversations with horror enthusiasts and creators!
Part One is a fly-on-the-wall conversation between Jon Kitley (Kitley's Krypt, Discover the Horror: One Man's 50-Year Quest for Monsters, Maniacs, and the Meaning of it All), Bryan Martinez (Film Deviant, The Giallo Room), and S.A. Bradley.
What started out as a Facebook Live conversation took on a life of its own as we delve into what movies still scare us, opinions on horror and popular culture, and real-life horror (and how we deal with it). This is as close to a late-night talk after the convention closes as you can get.
I hope you enjoy the conversation, and you get the feel of why we champion finding our horror tribe at conventions.
Technical note: this originated as a Facebook Live recording and because of that, the audio isn't at the highest quality.
Jon Kitley:
His book: Discover the Horror: One Man's 50-Year Quest for Monsters, Maniacs and the Meaning of It All
Bryan Martinez:
