Things are officially going bump in the night.
In this episode of Psyber Conversations: Psyber Fright Nights, Josh, Heather, Darin, Rachel, Ashley and Bob dive into the world of supernatural horror. Ghosts, demons, possession, curses, witches, haunted houses and whatever the hell is lurking at the end of that dark hallway are all fair game.
What actually makes a supernatural movie scary? Is it better when the evil has clear rules, or when nobody has any idea what’s happening? Does revealing the monster ruin the fear? And why are empty hotel hallways apparently one of the most terrifying places on Earth?
We get into movies and shows including The Exorcist, The Shining, Poltergeist, The Ring, The Blair Witch Project, Rosemary’s Baby, The Sixth Sense, The Craft, Rose Red, The Amityville Horror, 13 Ghosts, The Watcher in the Woods, It Follows, Smile, Final Destination and plenty more.
We also debate the role religion plays in supernatural horror, name some seriously underrated movies, call out a few wildly overrated ones, and finish with a lightning round covering haunted houses, possession movies, horror comedies, supernatural villains and the movies that genuinely scared us.
And yes, somehow Hocus Pocus enters the conversation about movies that changed horror history. We stand by absolutely nothing.
👻 Psyber Fright Nights continues next week with THE FINAL GIRL as we take on slasher movies.
