Hey friends and freaks, what's up? This week on the podcast, we did things a little differently. For this episode, we welcome back Amy, a.k.a @aces_wild27, from episode 12, Children of the Night, and Jenn, a.k.a. @867_jenn_5309 from episode 6, the Conjuring Universe, to explore the chilling subgenre of Isolation Horror. From its literary roots in Frankenstein to modern films like The Shining and A Quiet Place, they dive into how isolation intensifies fear through physical remoteness, psychological detachment, and vulnerability.

They’ll discuss why it resonates so deeply—especially in a post-pandemic world. With examples like Gerald's Game, Hush, and the Terror, they unpack the primal fears of loneliness and helplessness that make isolation horror so compelling.

Join us for an in-depth look at how this genre reflects our anxieties and continues to deliver some of horror's most haunting stories. Don’t forget to follow @so_you_like_horror on Instagram and tune in next week as Dante returns to wrap up the cursed film theme with The Exorcist.

Seasons Greetings, folks. Welcome back for another week of shenanigans. For this episode, we review the Halloween and Christmas classic, The Nightmare Before Christmas. We give a brief breakdown of the movie as we go over the various themes throughout the movie. We also discuss the appeal after all these years and the magic of marketing.

The Nightmare Before Christmas (also known as Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas) is a 1993 American gothic stop-motion animated musical fantasy film directed by Henry Selick in his feature directorial debut and produced by Tim Burton. It tells the story of Jack Skellington, the King of "Halloween Town", who stumbles upon "Christmas Town" and schemes to take over the holiday. Danny Elfman wrote the songs and score and provided the singing voice of Jack.
