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.

Happy Spooky Season, gang! In this week's episode of So, You Like Horror?, we ride into Tim Burton’s gothic masterpiece, Sleepy Hollow. Starring Johnny Depp as Ichabod Crane and Christina Ricci as Katrina Van Tassel, this supernatural horror classic reimagines Washington Irving’s legend with blood-soaked decapitations, fog-drenched forests, and Burton’s signature gothic flair.

We break down the film’s eerie plot, explore its blend of science and superstition, and discuss themes of corruption, trauma, gothic romance, and karmic justice. Was the true evil in Sleepy Hollow the Headless Horseman—or the human greed that summoned him? Join us as we unravel the film’s haunting atmosphere, lasting influence, and its place in horror history.

Happy Halloween Eve, folks! This week on the podcast, we continue our remake vs original theme by discussing one of Stephen King’s most iconic stories—Carrie. First adapted by Brian De Palma in 1976, the film became a cultural touchstone, cementing its place in horror history with unforgettable performances and one of cinema’s most haunting finales.

Nearly four decades later, Kimberly Peirce’s 2013 remake attempted to bring the story into the modern age, complete with cyberbullying, viral humiliation, and CGI-driven destruction. We break down both versions, examining how Sissy Spacek’s painfully vulnerable Carrie compares to Chloë Grace Moretz’s more confident take, and how Piper Laurie’s religious fanatic Margaret White contrasts with Julianne Moore’s psychologically abusive portrayal. Along the way, we explore the themes of puberty, repression, bullying, and revenge, and ask the ultimate question: Does the remake add new depth to the story, or does it remain in the shadow of a classic?

What's happening, folks? Welcome back to the podcast. This week, we dive into one of the most legendary—and controversial—films in horror history: The Blair Witch Project.

I'm joined by Rikki Tikki Timber, as we explore how this micro-budget indie shocked audiences, pioneered the found-footage style, and redefined horror marketing with viral websites, fake missing posters, and whispered rumors that it was all real.

We’ll break down the terrifying plot, from Heather, Mike, and Josh’s descent into paranoia in the Black Hills Forest to THAT chilling final shot. We’ll also discuss the film’s cultural impact, its role in sparking a found-footage boom (*Paranormal Activity, REC, Cloverfield*), and the recent controversy around the original cast’s lack of fair compensation despite the franchise’s massive success.

💀 Topics Covered:

- How *The Blair Witch Project* blurred reality and fiction

- Fear of the unknown vs. “showing the monster”

- Isolation, paranoia, and folk-horror roots

- Why audiences remain divided: masterpiece or overrated?

- Modern legacy: would it work in today’s TikTok era?
