Mother and son team Mom and Mac discuss, analyze, dissect and explore international horror movies. Conversations are casual but spoiler-heavy. We take turns choosing a genre or subgenre of horror and pairing an international film with an American one. Past episodes have included: Funny Games, One Missed Call, Let the Right One In/Let Me In. Genres we have covered are Animal Attack (BOAR from Australia and TREMORS); Creepy Kids (GOODNIGHT, MOMMY from Austria and ORPHAN); Battle Royale-type films (BATTLE ROYALE from Japan and THE BELKO EXPERIMENT); Haunted Houses (THE HOUSE AT THE END OF TIME from Venezuela and BEETLEJUICE). Special episodes feature foundational international horror films or guests who come on to highlight a film that "Means the World of Horror" to them. https://linktr.ee/WorldofHorror

A CHINESE GHOST STORY & GHOSTWATCH: Episode 186: Ghosts!

Season 1 · Episode 186

Friday, May 1, 2026 • Duration 01:24:46

Send us Fan Mail

This episode we are talking ghosts with A CHINESE GHOST STORY from Hong Hong & GHOSTWATCH from the UK. We loved both these films and each has moments that are really scary!

From IMDb: A debt collector has no other choice than to spend the night in a haunted temple, where he encounters a female ghost, whom he falls in love with. To save her soul he must work with a monk to defeat the tree demon who owns her spirit.

From IMDb: In a "live" broadcast on Halloween night, a BBC team investigate a reported poltergeist in an ordinary London home.

Next time we are looking at "Weird Horror" films with THE LAIR OF THE WHITE WORM & TOGETHER.

VIY & SEASON OF THE WITCH: Episode 185: Witches!

Season 1 · Episode 185

Friday, April 17, 2026 • Duration 01:27:51

Send us Fan Mail

This episode Mac and I look at two vintage films featuring witches.

We viewed VIY from Russia and SEASON OF THE WITCH (1972).

From IMDb: A young priest is ordered to preside over the wake of witch in a small old wooden church of a remote village. This means spending three nights alone with the corpse with only his faith to protect him.

From IMDb: A neglected, unhappy suburban housewife gets mixed up in witchcraft with unexpected consequences.

We enjoyed on of these films and were flat-out flummoxed by the other. Have you seen these films? What did you think?

Thanks for all your support and downloads. Welcome to new WoHos!

Hi, WoHos!

This week filmmaker and friend Stefan MacDonald-Labelle stopped by to have a ramble with me about one of my favorite horror films, WE ARE STILL HERE.

From IMDb: In the cold, wintery fields of New England, a lonely old house wakes up every thirty years - and demands a sacrifice.

Next up on the podcast we have a couple bonus shows. Quinn and I discuss the Otto Preminger joint, BUNNY LAKE IS MISSING and then Chrissy Champagne returns to discuss DO NOT GO TO SLEEP, a truly bonkers film from 1982.

On the main show, Mac and I discuss GRAFTED from New Zealand and THE SUBSTANCE from the US.

Thank you for all your support. It means the World of Horror™ to us, truly!

Remember we love you and especially this week, WoHos, DON'T go into the basement!

MISERY & LADY VENGEANCE: Episode 84: A Woman Obsessed!

Season 1 · Episode 84

Wednesday, September 28, 2022 • Duration 01:59:56

Send us Fan Mail

WoHos!

This week we looked at two portraits of obsession: Annie Wilkes from MISERY and I Geum-ja from Lady Vengeance.

There are a couple of similarities between these two films I never noticed until now. The celebrity that springs up around each woman is one and the other one...has to do with feet.

Contents of the Content:
Mom & Mac Chat: Mac's playing Slime Rancher to mitigate late summer slog, Entry-level cats vs. Mac's cat, Mom's walking with Dennis Lehane, we wonder who will stop Ryan Murphy? Watching BARBARIAN (I don't spoil it) with a non-horror fan was not the best call on my part.

Mac talks MISERY

Mom talks LADY VENGEANCE

We got Letterboxd reviews, we got trivia, we got "What phobia is THAT"? and of course our patented The Questions™ feature. You're welcome!

Coming up:
Mac's pick of "Early creature features that have interesting applications"? I am not sure I got that right, but he has chosen CREEPING FLESH from the US and 100 MONSTERS from Japan.

My genre pick is "Based on a true story" horror films and I have chosen SNOWTOWN (which I swore I would never watch again, but here we are) and SACRAMENT from the US.

We have a couple of upcoming guests we are very excited about: Filmmakers and darned nice people, Tim Aslin and Ryan McDuffie from "Dismembering Horror" will join us in October & some returning friends, Martin and Boaz from "Film vs. Film" will join us in November for It Means the World of Horror to Me™ picks!

Quinn has also agreed to help me out with a Foundational World of Horror™ pick: REBECCA from 1940. I have to work on my George Sanders impression!

One note: We switched platforms and some of our more raucous laughter is muted. Not sure why. Techie WoHos, Get in touch!

HELLBENDER & RAW: Episode 83 Bitter Sixteen: Coming of Age Movies!

Season 1 · Episode 83

Friday, September 16, 2022 • Duration 02:18:01

Send us Fan Mail

WoHos!

This week, Mac chose two movies that really demonstrate the idea that adolescence is hell: HELLBENDER from the US & RAW / GRAVE from France.

Both involve 16-year-old women who learn truths about their true nature. Good people get hurt. It's a whole thing.

Contents of the content
Mom & Mac Chat: Mac has job interviews, Mom gets REAL vaccinated, and Five Guys doesn't care about your nut allergy.

Mac's Watches from August: One-Piece / dishonorable mention: ALLEGORIA
Mom's Watches from August: CARNIVAL OF SOULS, PREY, THE INNOCENTS / Dishonorable Mention: THEY / THEM
Mom's Shoutouts: Film vs. Film podcast with Comfort Films Podcast (Stephen King adaptations), Your Mother Ate My Dog podcast, singer Madds Buckley

Mom talks RAW

Mac talks HELLBENDER

Some questions remain, of course. How do you think lying to your kid is a good thing? If all your friends ate a rabbit kidney, would you eat one, too? How problematic is the portrayal of Justine's gay roommate? Out of Mom & Mac, which host shares a birthday month and year with Toby Poser?

Coming up:
Mom's Picks--A Woman Obsessed movies: MISERY from the US and SYMPATHY for LADY VENGEANCE from South Korea
Mac's Picks--60's / 70's Creature Features--THE CREEPING FLESH from the UK & 100 MONSTERS from Japan

Apologies to Theo Germaine, who uses they / them pronouns. I kept calling them him.

BEFORE WE VANISH: Episode 82 Alien Invasion! Part 2

Season 1 · Episode 82

Monday, September 5, 2022 • Duration 01:19:27

Send us Fan Mail

This is part two of our Alien Invasion! Episodes. Part One (Episode 81) covered INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS, from 1956 & 1978.

BEFORE WE VANISH is a 2017 Science Fiction/Horror film from Kiyoshi Kurosawa. It involves three aliens who are on a reconnaissance mission to steal "conceptions" from humans ahead of a planned invasion and annhiliation mission.

No Mom & Mac chat for this one, but we do get into a discussion of love and TikTok.

Please tell a friend or two about us and come back for Episode 83, when we cover Coming of Age Horror films with RAW from France and HELLBENDER from the US. Later this month, we will also cover A WOMAN OBSESSED movies with Misery from the US and SYMPATHY FOR LADY VENGEANCE from South Korea.

We love you, WoHos!

INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS (1956 & 1978): Episode 81: Reborn Into An Untroubled World (Alien Invasion!)

Season 1 · Episode 81

Wednesday, August 31, 2022 • Duration 01:33:58

Send us Fan Mail

WoHos! This is part I of our Alien Invasion show. This week we examine the 1956 & 1978 versions of INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS.

As I state in the intro, this one is real swear-y for some reason. If that bothers you, I apologize and won't feel sad if you have to skip this one.

Apologies to Veronica Cartwright, whom I call Nancy at least once.

Next week we hope you'll tune back in for our part II where we discuss Kiyoshi Kurosawa's BEFORE WE VANISH.
