Season 02 - Episode – 3 – 1... 2 ... My Coffee's Coming For You

The Adventures in 80s Cinema Podcast is back for another nostalgic trip , and we are heading straight into a haunted fixer-upper!

In this episode, we dive deep into the 1985 horror-comedy classic, House. Step inside the surreal nightmare of troubled novelist Roger Cobb as he battles personal demons and actual monsters hidden behind the walls of his late aunt's estate.

We break down the shift in tone from traditional haunted house scares to dark slapstick comedy, analyze William Katt's brilliant performance as the fragile protagonist, and celebrate George Wendt's fantastic turn as the nosy next-door neighbor.

We also look at the film's incredible practical effects—from the hideous closet monster to the undead Vietnam War veteran—and debate how its unique blend of trauma and humor shaped the horror-comedy genre of the mid-1980s.

Dust off your Walkmans, grab your popcorn, and join us for the ultimate retrospective on the house that greets you with a smile... and kills you with a scream!

Join Joe and Daisy on Adventures in 80s Cinema...Where Nostalgia Lives!
