Trauma, but Make It Nostalgic: Our First Horror Scars 👻
About this episode
It’s our Halloween Special, and we’re doing something a little different (and possibly unwise): revisiting the first horror movies that scarred us for life and started our love affair with the genre. 💀
One of us met a foul-mouthed doll with a voodoo problem (Child’s Play, 1988), while the other couldn’t sleep thanks to a guy who kills you in your dreams (A Nightmare on Elm Street, 1984). Cute, right? 😅
Join us as we relive the childhood trauma, share fun facts from behind the screams, and decide which film messed us up more. It’s spooky, it’s nostalgic, and it’s probably cheaper than therapy. 🩸🎬
