The Horror Boom: Paranormal And Pop Culture

About this episode

Happy Halloween! Meghan & Miranda welcome horror powerhouse C. Robert Cargill (Black Phone 2, Sinister, Doctor Strange) for a full-tilt spooky special: why horror is booming, when “elevated” became mainstream, and which scares actually stick. We hit 28 Years Later, Weapons, Shelby Oaks, found-footage faves, the Conjuring/Annabelle obsession, and yes... Ethan Hawke as a horror icon. Plus: our new “Douchebag & Darling of the Week,” a Blair Witch confession, and the definitive Halloween rewatch: The Changeling. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
