7. The Blair Witch Project and Diabolique
A Halloween special where Stephen and Albert discuss a modern horror classic, The Blair Witch Project (1999), alongside a French suspense classic, Diabolique (1955) (or Les Diaboliques), a film that would inspire Psycho (1960, and 1998 - why not?) and is seen by many as an early influence on modern horror.
