In episode 11 we get back to our roots and discuss the core theme of this podcast: Fear and Imagination.

In this episode my sidekick Igor and I discuss our fears, and what it is that we love so much about horror. We talk about the ways that fears can drive us mad and alter our reality into something much more terrifying.

We reference a few movies, which can all be found online to stream, not all for free, unfortunately.

The Innkeepers (2011) can be rented for $3 on Prime and YouTube.

As Above, So Below (2014) is available to stream on Netflix.

His House (2020) is available to stream on Netflix.

We briefly talk about Lovecraft County and social justice themes in modern horror.
