Sure Look, Sure Listen - What's going on in that Creepy Village?
play

10/22/24 • 69 min

Sometimes everyone is out to get you, especially in creepy villages.


Join hosts Mick and Ben for a spine-chilling Halloween special, that nearly killed Ben in the editing room, where they explore various horror themes across movies, literature, and television. This episode dives into werewolf film trailers such as 'Werewolves' and 'The Wolf Man' remake.

Perhaps most importantly, they take a look at the trope of creepy villages in fiction and reality and occult horror with references to H.P. Lovecraft and Shirley Jackson. They discuss the portrayal of small-town horrors, pagan rituals in classics like 'The Wicker Man,' and the eerie vibe of BBC's 'Robin Redbreast' (1970). The conversation also touches on the unique horror aspects of 'Hot Fuzz,' 'The Apostle,' and 'Midsommar,' as well as recent trends in film trailers and AI's influence on creative industries.
