So, You Like Horror? #106- Horror Television

Friday, January 2, 2026 • Duration 01:02:57

In 2026, So, You Like Horror? turns its focus to horror television and how fear unfolds over time. Across twelve episodes released throughout the year, the show will examine how episodic and serialized horror builds tension, develops character, and reflects cultural anxieties in ways that film often cannot.

Each month centers on a single series, exploring themes, narrative structure, historical context, and why the show continues to resonate. The lineup spans decades, formats, and audiences, from gateway horror and classic anthology television to modern prestige streaming series.

The 2026 series schedule includes The Haunting of Hill House, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Midnight Mass, The Twilight Zone, Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, Tales from the Crypt, Welcome to Derry, True Blood, Black Mirror, The Fall of the House of Usher, Lovecraft Country, and Them.

This year isn’t about rankings or shock value. It’s about understanding how horror changes when it has space to linger, how fear evolves through repetition, memory, and time.

New episodes release every 1st and 3rd Friday of the month throughout 2026. Watch along, revisit the shows, and explore what horror television reveals when the story doesn’t end after two hours.

Thank you, everyone, for your support. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out on Instagram at ⁠⁠⁠@so_you_like_horror⁠⁠⁠ or email us directly at soyoulikehorror@gmail.com. We're open to all conversations, suggestions, topics, and criticisms.

So, You Like Horror? Podcast #105- Black Christmas

Episode 105

Wednesday, December 24, 2025 • Duration 36:19

In this episode, I take a solo look at Black Christmas from 1974, a film often cited as a precursor to the modern slasher but better understood as a study in atmosphere, ambiguity, and unease. Set during Christmas break at a sorority house, the film builds tension through obscene phone calls, off-screen violence, and the unsettling idea that the threat is already inside the home.

Rather than focusing on gore or body count, Black Christmas relies on restraint, long takes, silence, and point-of-view shots that deny the audience clarity or comfort. The killer remains unseen and unexplained, turning absence itself into a source of horror. I discuss how this creative choice separates the film from later slashers and why its refusal to provide answers is central to its impact.

The episode also explores themes beneath the surface, institutional failure, dismissal of women’s fears, and the collapse of perceived safety. I examine the film’s bleak ending, its influence on later horror, particularly Halloween, and why Black Christmas still feels unsettling more than fifty years after its release. This is a conversation about dread over spectacle and why ambiguity can be more disturbing than resolution.

So, You Like Horror? Podcast #104- Predator: Badlands

Episode 104

Friday, December 19, 2025 • Duration 01:06:57

In this episode of So, You Like Horror?, Guest hosts Maryland Phil and Chuckie O return to discuss Predator: Badlands and where it fits within the larger Predator franchise. They break down the film’s strengths and weaknesses, covering what works, what falls flat, and what stands out for better or worse. The conversation looks closely at how the PG-13 rating shapes the film’s tone, action, and tension, especially in comparison to earlier entries in the series.

They also examine how Predator: Badlands expands or reinterprets existing Predator lore and whether those choices strengthen the franchise or dilute its identity. They wrap up by ranking the film against other Predator installments and debating whether this entry justifies a direct sequel or should remain a standalone chapter.

So, You Like Horror? Podcast #103- The Fly (1986)

Episode 103

Friday, December 5, 2025 • Duration 02:05:02

In this episode of So, You Like Horror?, I’m joined by Maryland Phil as we take a closer look at David Cronenberg’s The Fly (1986), a film that remains one of the most significant examples of body horror and one of the most meaningful horror remakes.

We talk about how the story evolved from a 1957 short story and a 1958 film into Cronenberg’s version, which shifts the focus toward illness, identity, and the fear of watching the body decline. We explore how the film reflects anxieties of the 1980s, from Cold War tension to the parallels many viewers saw with the AIDS crisis, and how those themes shape the way Seth Brundle’s transformation is understood today.

We walk through the film’s structure, from the initial scientific breakthrough to the escalation of physical and emotional deterioration, and how the relationship between Seth and Veronica grounds the horror in something human rather than spectacle.

From its commentary on obsession and scientific overreach to its portrayal of identity loss and the strain disease places on relationships, The Fly continues to resonate. Toward the end of the episode, we dig into the film’s legacy, the influence it had on later body-horror works, and why it’s often regarded as one of the strongest remakes in the genre.

So, You Like Horror? Podcast #102- Thanksgiving

Episode 102

Friday, November 21, 2025 • Duration 37:00

In this episode of So, You Like Horror?, I’m taking a close look at Thanksgiving (2023), Eli Roth’s holiday slasher that grew out of the fake Grindhouse trailer from 2007. I walk through the film’s plot, from the Black Friday riot that kicks everything off to the reveal of Sheriff Eric Newlon behind the John Carver mask. I break down how the story uses themes of consumerism, guilt, responsibility, and authority, and how the film blends satire with straightforward slasher elements. I also discuss what works, what doesn’t, and why the tone may feel uneven for some viewers. Toward the end, I go over what we know about the upcoming sequel, the possibilities for the sheriff’s return, and how the franchise might expand its holiday-horror identity. If you’re interested in where Thanksgiving fits within the larger tradition of seasonal slashers, or you’re curious about the direction the next film might take, this episode covers the key ideas, story beats, and commentary surrounding this new entry in the genre.

So, You Like Horror? Podcast #101- Ringu vs. The Ring

Episode 101

Friday, November 7, 2025 • Duration 02:21:48

Before The Conjuring and Paranormal Activity, there was a VHS tape that terrified Japan, and later, the world. In this episode of So, You Like Horror?, the Remake vs. Original series continues with Ringu (1998) and its American counterpart, The Ring (2002). We examine how Hideo Nakata’s minimalist, folklore-infused story of Sadako and a cursed videotape reshaped Japanese horror through quiet dread and psychological tension. Then we look at how Gore Verbinski’s Western adaptation reframed those fears for early-2000s audiences, turning superstition into investigation and amplifying its visual atmosphere through cold, haunting imagery. The conversation explores each film’s approach to technology, isolation, motherhood, and the concept of the “curse” itself, spiritual versus viral, suggestion versus spectacle. Through comparisons of style, theme, and cultural context, we ask the central question: Does The Ring enhance or dilute the terror of Ringu?

So, You Like Horror? Podcast #100- Halloween 1978 vs. Halloween 2007

Episode 100

Friday, October 31, 2025 • Duration 02:19:38

In this 100th episode of the So, You Like Horror? Podcast, being released on Halloween, hosts Jake Dante, Sarah Beth, Maryland Phil, and Theresa examine two visions of Halloween: John Carpenter’s 1978 original and Rob Zombie’s 2007 remake.

The discussion looks at how each film interprets Michael Myers, from Carpenter’s silent embodiment of evil to Zombie’s psychologically driven killer shaped by violence and trauma. The hosts trace the evolution of the final girl through Laurie Strode, compare the suburban dread of late-1970s America with the gritty realism of the 2000s, and consider how atmosphere, tone, and cinematography define fear across generations.

Themes such as the nature of evil, loss of innocence, and the cycle of violence reveal what each version says about its era.

The episode closes with reflections on which portrayal of Halloween endures as the more unsettling vision of terror—and what keeps Michael Myers haunting audiences nearly fifty years later.

One hundred episodes later, So, You Like Horror? continues to be a space for honest conversation about the films, themes, and ideas that keep us coming back to the genre.

So, You Like Horror? Podcast #99- Sinister

Friday, October 24, 2025 • Duration 01:35:44

In Episode 99 of So, You Like Horror?, host Jake Dante is joined by Mannuel C. as they dive into Sinister (2012)... one of the most terrifying supernatural horror films of the 2010s. Directed by Scott Derrickson and starring Ethan Hawke, Sinister follows true-crime writer Ellison Oswalt as he uncovers a series of horrifying Super 8 home movies tied to a pagan deity known as Bughuul. The discussion breaks down the film’s haunting imagery, disturbing sound design, and the psychological unraveling that makes it “scientifically the scariest movie ever made.”

We explore how Sinister compares to Insidious and The Conjuring, analyze themes of obsession, ambition, and moral decay, and ask whether the true horror lies in the demon or in Ellison himself. From cursed films to corrupted innocence, this episode is a deep dive into the darkness that keeps horror fans awake at night.
