   Dracula (1931)

   Before Jigsaw, before Art the Clown, before Freddy and Michael and Jason and Leatherface, there was a single icon of horror that the world recognized and it was Bela Lugosi's Dracula.

   The Invisible Man (2020)

   Some movies just keep feeling more and more relevant as time goes by, and it's hard not to hope that this movie stops being one of them. Because it's a story about an obsessive, domineering techbro using his wealth, power and privilege to stalk and harass his ex, and boy does that become more and more recognizable as the years go by. So let's talk 'The Invisible Man', and all the ways it has its pulse squarely on the mindset of the Silicon Valley billionaires that are making all our lives hell.

   The Innocents (1961)

   It's one of the most influential horror films of the 20th century, a masterpiece of cinematography with gorgeous, lush exterior vistas and claustrophobic interiors, and yes, it's often cited as a perfect adaptation of a difficult-to-film novella that captures the ambiguity of its unreliable narrator... but what does a guy with a podcast think of it? Well, listen and find out!
