Our discussion traverses iconic horror movies like 'Amityville Horror,' 'Evil Dead,' 'Child's Play,' and 'Christine,' weaving in contemporary debates on the genre's impact in literature and film. A special segment ties together horror and women's empowerment through 'Jennifer's Body,' coupled with childhood scares featuring a humorous anecdote about a 'possessed' Chatty Cathy doll.

Content warning after episode ends: Once the conversation about werewolves end, there will be a fade out of music and a content alert for more sensitive listeners to stop.
