In this 100th episode of the So, You Like Horror? Podcast, being released on Halloween, hosts Jake Dante, Sarah Beth, Maryland Phil, and Theresa examine two visions of Halloween: John Carpenter’s 1978 original and Rob Zombie’s 2007 remake.

The discussion looks at how each film interprets Michael Myers, from Carpenter’s silent embodiment of evil to Zombie’s psychologically driven killer shaped by violence and trauma. The hosts trace the evolution of the final girl through Laurie Strode, compare the suburban dread of late-1970s America with the gritty realism of the 2000s, and consider how atmosphere, tone, and cinematography define fear across generations.

Themes such as the nature of evil, loss of innocence, and the cycle of violence reveal what each version says about its era.

The episode closes with reflections on which portrayal of Halloween endures as the more unsettling vision of terror—and what keeps Michael Myers haunting audiences nearly fifty years later.

In Episode 99 of So, You Like Horror?, host Jake Dante is joined by Mannuel C. as they dive into Sinister (2012)... one of the most terrifying supernatural horror films of the 2010s. Directed by Scott Derrickson and starring Ethan Hawke, Sinister follows true-crime writer Ellison Oswalt as he uncovers a series of horrifying Super 8 home movies tied to a pagan deity known as Bughuul. The discussion breaks down the film’s haunting imagery, disturbing sound design, and the psychological unraveling that makes it “scientifically the scariest movie ever made.”

We explore how Sinister compares to Insidious and The Conjuring, analyze themes of obsession, ambition, and moral decay, and ask whether the true horror lies in the demon or in Ellison himself. From cursed films to corrupted innocence, this episode is a deep dive into the darkness that keeps horror fans awake at night.
