I have been gone for too long so it was only proper to officially wrap it up.  Thank you all for listening and letting me share my passion and joy for the horror genre with you.Follow us on:Facebook.com/CaffeineAndScreamsPodcastInstagram @CaffeineAndScreamsPodcastTwitter @ ScreamsCaffeine
Video games have not had the best streak when it comes to adaptation to screen. But maybe Five Nights at Freddy's and The Last of Us will change that. Atmosphere, character, and story. That's what any good film or show needs and the horror genre provides that spades.Follow us on:Facebook.com/CaffeineAndScreamsPodcastInstagram @CaffeineAndScreamsPodcastTwitter @ ScreamsCaffeine
Only a few franchises are capable to lasting this long, for better or for worse. But if you're still sticking around that means you're a true fan and you are along for the ride no matter how over-the-top, cheesy, low budget, or fantastical it feels. Which horror series can make it to at least 8 films?Follow us on:Facebook.com/CaffeineAndScreamsPodcastInstagram @CaffeineAndScreamsPodcastTwitter @ ScreamsCaffeine
Better late than never to look back on HHN32 that took place this Halloween season in Universal Orlando. An incredible event that saw an overarching theme, story, and "icon". With some of the best immersive storytelling in the industry from original houses to some long-awaited properties such as The Last of Us, HHN32 was one for the ages.Follow us on:Facebook.com/CaffeineAndScreamsPodcastInstagram @CaffeineAndScreamsPodcastTwitter @ ScreamsCaffeine
The Invisible Man may be one of the most underrepresented monsters in the classic Universal pantheon but that doesn't prevent him from being my favorite. On this episode I discuss the Invisible Man series from the 1930s and 40s, and the modern reimagining, as well as how and why we take mad science to a terrifying level in horror storytelling.Follow us on:Facebook.com/CaffeineAndScreamsPodcastInstagram @CaffeineAndScreamsPodcastTwitter @ ScreamsCaffeine
Spend Halloween with a possible doorway to hell? Quickly becoming one of favorite horror franchises, Hell House LLC takes full advantage of the found footage genre to create a suspenseful, terrifying, lore building series.Follow us on:Facebook.com/CaffeineAndScreamsPodcastInstagram @CaffeineAndScreamsPodcastTwitter @ ScreamsCaffeine
What would you do to become famous? Or how does rock n roll transform an entire generation to evil sinners? (It doesn't) Faustian horror, deals with the devil, forces us to ask what we would do, what short cuts would we take, what would we sacrifice to achieve our dreams. Let's discuss on this episode that has us at a crossroads.Follow us on:Facebook.com/CaffeineAndScreamsPodcastInstagram @CaffeineAndScreamsPodcastTwitter @ ScreamsCaffeine
There's something funny about the make-up, the mystery of the drifting industry of the circus, and what those corndogs are dipped in. Clowns have sought to scare us in horror for decades. But why? What is it about this industry of fun and entertainment that lends itself to so much horror storytelling. Follow us on:Facebook.com/CaffeineAndScreamsPodcastInstagram @CaffeineAndScreamsPodcastTwitter @ ScreamsCaffeine
It's time to go back to our unfinished series of horror installments and how wild or even better (?) they can get as you go deeper into a series. Finding themselves or losing it all together, the seventh entry of horror franchises are always a fascinating study of the transformation of a series from foundation to "what's even going on anymore".Follow us on:Facebook.com/CaffeineAndScreamsPodcastInstagram @CaffeineAndScreamsPodcastTwitter @ ScreamsCaffeine
I should have known this subgenre had a name, horror films about sharks. There's a lot, like a lot more than I realized. From grounded to sci-fi to downright silly. Utilizing the mystery of the ocean, power of nature, and lots of teeth, the horror genre makes various uses of sharks.Be it for better or worse I want to take a look at how it's handled.Follow us on:Facebook.com/CaffeineAndScreamsPodcastInstagram @CaffeineAndScreamsPodcastTwitter @ ScreamsCaffeine
There is no one else like Nicolas Cage. Even in horror he can bring the most exaggerated, yet specific and entertaining, characters to the screen. There is no better genre for an actor like Mr. Cage. A genre that can let him let loose and have all the fun in the world.Follow us on:Facebook.com/CaffeineAndScreamsPodcastInstagram @CaffeineAndScreamsPodcastTwitter @ ScreamsCaffeine
This is a sub-sub-sub genre of horror that exists. Why? Because it can. That's why. Taking various established franchises to the place where no one can hear you scream...or laugh...at the terrible effects.Follow us on:Facebook.com/CaffeineAndScreamsPodcastInstagram @CaffeineAndScreamsPodcastTwitter @ ScreamsCaffeine
Horror in cinema would not exist today if it were not for the legacy of Universal Studios and the Classic Monsters of the 1920s to 1950s. But looking back at the last 20 years, does that foundation in horror still prevalent today?Follow us on:Facebook.com/CaffeineAndScreamsPodcastInstagram @CaffeineAndScreamsPodcastTwitter @ ScreamsCaffeine
Remakes and reboots are one spicy topic in the horror community but I would like to argue they are not always the worst (in fact, many remakes are spectacular). If a remake can update or expand upon the original if there is room to do so then why not? Here are a few pitches of mine for possible horror remakes that I think could work.Follow us on:Facebook.com/CaffeineAndScreamsPodcastInstagram @CaffeineAndScreamsPodcastTwitter @ ScreamsCaffeine
Pull out the soap box and tap the microphone because today we take the stand to discuss the toxic belief that PG-13 horror is inherently bad or not good. Plenty of films have proven you don't need the R-rating to make a successful horror film both critically and financially. Let's highlight some of our favorites. Follow us on:Facebook.com/CaffeineAndScreamsPodcastInstagram @CaffeineAndScreamsPodcastTwitter @ ScreamsCaffeine
With the release of Evil Dead Rise, I thought it would be a good time to open the Necronomicron Ex Mortis and talk about one of horrors most iconic, and be beloved, series, The Evil Dead. From cult following to a full fledged franchise, Evil Dead is one groovy horror film, one after another.Follow us on:Facebook.com/CaffeineAndScreamsPodcastInstagram @CaffeineAndScreamsPodcastTwitter @ ScreamsCaffeine
I fly out for a 2 week trip to Japan in just a few days so what better way to get excited than to dive into the world of Japanese horror. I find and discuss some of the significant, popular, and personal favorites of the genre to see what I can discover from a library of unique, creative stories that have fascinated audiences far beyond Japan itself.Follow us on:Facebook.com/CaffeineAndScreamsPodcastInstagram @CaffeineAndScreamsPodcastTwitter @ ScreamsCaffeine
I'm in the midst of looking for a new apartment so I figured why not look at some of horrors films about haunted houses and apartments for inspiration. The process is always stressful so I'll take a haunted home if that means it is said and done with.Follow us on:Facebook.com/CaffeineAndScreamsPodcastInstagram @CaffeineAndScreamsPodcastTwitter @ ScreamsCaffeine
It's time for another franchise centric episode. And instead of finding one of the heaviest hitters in the horror genre, I wanted to watch one of the more quirky and lesser-ish known series. Phantasm. Nearly a 40 year franchise and 5 movies that surprisingly keeps a consistent canon, cast, and crew through out.I picked it because it felt so different from any other major series. But how different does it get? Real different. Follow us on:Facebook.com/CaffeineAndScreamsPodcastInstagram @CaffeineAndScreamsPodcastTwitter @ ScreamsCaffeine
With the arrival of another Scream film I discuss the influence Scream has had on the horror genre, specifically during the original reign of the original trilogy. It's meta awareness, humor, and who-dun-it mystery inspired a plethora of films and caused of much needed resurgence in the genre during this time.Follow us on:Facebook.com/CaffeineAndScreamsPodcastInstagram @CaffeineAndScreamsPodcastTwitter @ ScreamsCaffeine
