Here it is! Episode 9: Horror films. This is the first of four episodes that will cover horror films. John and I are joined once again by Aubrey Spivey and Chris Thames and discuss what makes a film horror. We discuss the major genre of horror films and talk about a few of our favorites.

 Here is the Horror on Screen website. The reviews of the films are fairly short, but the list of horror films on the site is pretty expansive (though by no means complete). This link is the graphic showing the major genre's and sub-genre's of horror films. We on the podcast didn't completely agree with the sub-genre's but we felt the five major genre's were right on the money.

The Blood-Shed is a website that covers horror in a multitude of media (as well as some non-horror topics). It's a great little site for those that enjoy novels, comics and games as well as movies.

Finally here is the list of the movies we touch on in the podcast. Thanks goes out to Aubrey Spivey for compiling a majority of it:
