Horror is getting practical again—and we’re here for it.

Join host Bruce Marvel and Josh Yoder as they dive into the resurgence of practical effects in modern horror, discussing films like Robert Eggers' Nosferatu and Coralie Fargeat's The Substance, and why they hope this signals a new era for the genre.

Josh also takes a nostalgic trip back to the video store aisles of his childhood, sharing how late-night VHS discoveries sparked a lifelong love of horror and why the 1985 cult classic Ghoulies still has a special place in his collection.
