The Horror You Know

THYK are all in reviewing the recent horror film, "Barbarian".  We have a little arguing, a little grandstanding, a little drinking, and a lot of nudity on this one.  Come join in on the fun!

Christopher Peters (actor, producer, entrepreneur) contacted the Podcast about telling the story of his Hollywood background and his recent contact with beings previously unknown to him. At first, it seems like an alien encounter story, but it turns out to be much more. I will let you listen to the man's story as uncut as possible.  

Our 1st annual film festival "Horror At The Ohio" (the one we haven't shut up about lately) FINALLY debuted this past weekend, Oct 21st and 22nd, at the Historic Ohio Theatre in our hometown. We screened 30 original horror films from all over the world. There were awards, costumes, trivia, music! We laughed, we cried, we spooked -- It was a great time all around!  This episode recaps the 2-day event and gives a small taste of how things turned out. We were very pleased overall and are already looking forward to next year's festival.  *DISCLAIMER - a lot of this audio was taken from Live Streams of the event, so some of the audio quality is subpar. The Live Streams were all done via our Horror You Know Facebook page. For a more comprehensive recap (and for visual reference), we encourage anyone who is interested to go to our Facebook page and check out the Live Stream videos on our timeline to be able to see all the awesome costumes & spooky decorations that we worked so hard to create! https://www.facebook.com/HorrorYouKnow

It all ends here... on our 50TH EPISODE!

At least season 1 does. A year ago we started out with Halloween, now we come full circle and finish off Year 1 with Halloween Ends, the highly anticipated final chapter of the franchise... (or I$ it?)

And it is no understatement to say that our crew is sharply divided on this one! We get into a passionate discussion as we break down and review Halloween Ends. We compare it to the rest of the modern day trilogy, and we also hold a lens up to the Halloween franchise as a whole — Does it stand firm at the top among the classic horror franchises? 

We end our big 5-0 by looking back on our favorite episodes and stories told on the podcast as well as some fun Halloween-related tales and past times. 

Thank you for supporting The Horror You Know for this first year! They thought they could kill us, but like Michael Myers, we keep coming back! So hang with us as we launch into Season 2 with even more spine-chilling shenanigans! Stay spooky friends!

Have you ever had a dream so real that you thought you were going to die?  Are you dreaming now?  Well, WAKE UP MOTHER TRUCKER and listen to our new nightmare of an episode!!

Hi, wanna play?  Spooky season is in full swing and we're kicking it off right with classic horror franchises — First up is everyone's favorite serial killer doll as we discuss 1988's Child's Play! Chucky may be our friend 'til the end, but was he actually influenced by another famous possessed doll? We examine the creepy story of Robert the Doll and his mischievous reign of terror that dates back to the early 1900s.  We also open the episode with some holiday fun by playing a Halloween drinking game. Who gets tricked and who gets treats?  Hidey-ho! You have a date with The Horror You Know! Skip ahead (if you dare!) to Robert the Doll starting at 14:50

On this episode we "INVITE" you to join our cult of personality as we drink/drank/drunk our way through cults, a rambling religious speech, and finally the 2015 film The Invitation.

Listen as the crew discuss the Indie horror hit, "Session 9".  The details of the truth behind the film are as tragic and confusing as the film itself.  Listen now if you dare!!! Hmmmmmmhhhoohaaaaaaaaaa!!!

Ian Torrance has us all in a Frenzy with the 1972 Hitchcock classic. The film, about a London serial killer known as the "Necktie Murderer", is loosely inspired by real life English killer John Reginald Christie. Frenzy was the second-to-last film of Hitchcock's career, and evoked memories of his early classics. Was it a return to form for the Master of Suspense?

Matt? MAATTTT!!! Matt...MAAATTTTT!!! This week, we're living life on the edge — River's Edge! We break down the shocking 1986 film starring Keanu Reeves and Crispin Glover. We also compare the real story of Anthony Jacques Broussard, the California teen who murdered his girlfriend Marcy Conrad and bragged about it to his buddies.
