Yes, all of them! Okay, no, not all of them, but definitely a lot of them! We're ringing in Halloween with a sprawling survey of the genre with which it's most commonly associated, complete with recommendations to help guide you through the tail end of scary-movie season. (Just kidding, it's always scary movie season, or at leas that's what Scott would want me to say.) Resident scaredy-cat Genevieve convened all three of her thicker-skinned cohosts to grill them on their personal horror preferences, and consider what goes into recommending a scary movie to another person who may or may not share those preferences. We went long on this one and still just barely scratched the surface, but had a lot of fun digging into a single genre in a way we don't usually get to on the main podcast. We hope you enjoy it as well!

** Carrie spoiler talks below ** Having re-watched Carrie for the first time in a long time about a year or two back, I have to ask if I watched a different edit of the movie or if we all are misremembering one of the key plot points of Carrie. I remember it as both girls conspiring against Carrie (and all off-hand references to Carrie I've heard on podcasts in the past year or so) also refer to the plot that way. But when I re-watched it, but the surviving girl, Sue split from Chris early in the film and the whole Tommy taking Carrie to the prom seemed more like an act of charity (it seemed like the idea was, maybe if Carrie was given a little social traction, other people would start to see her more as a person and less as a target of ridicule). This is why Sue is trying to warn people of the bucket of blood at the end - just the teacher, throughout the movie, does not believe her intentions to be on the level. This is also why Tommy tries to get people to stop taunting Carrie after the blood drops, but gets knocked out by a fluke bucket trajectory. This left the big plot hole of how does Chris plan to drop blood on Carrie at the prom since I don't recall how she'd know Carrie would even be at the prom. So, did I watch an alternate cut, interpret something wrong, or do we all just remember this movie incorrectly? With respect to the ending being about trauma of the survivor of a horrific event, I agree, that's what it's going for, but I can't help but think de Palma does that noticeably better in Dressed to Kill since it gets developed a lot more (everything else, I prefer Carrie). Side note, since Death Dream and criterion's 70's horror collection was brought up, I was quite happy to see Abel Ferrara's The Driller Killer show up there as I saw it some years ago. I think it's a lesser known movie and given the title and trailer, possibly one people might normally not think a lot of, but I was pleasantly surprised by it when I first came across it. I'd like to know how other people feel about it if they've had a chance to see it.

Hey, HEY. Keep the mockery to Scott, I won't have Kiss besmirched. I think my first jump scare must've been Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, when Khan sticks his...whatever that tool was...in the tank for the first time and the worm appears.

I like the make-up! My two favorite genres are horror-comedy and musicals. It's hard for me to watch CGI horror without seeing a cartoon on the screen.
