A rambling, impromptu podcast on horror fiction, art and cinema, that will eventually stray into other realms and arenas, too.

In this episode:

- An analysis of early experiences with horror literature.
- A conrast and comparison of the works of Stephen King and Clive Barker.
- An in depth examination of King's story, The Mist and its cinematic adaptation.
- A brief glance at the adaptations of Stephen King's IT and what the latest one means for horror cinema.
- Some small observations on The Ritual and independent horror.
- A general overview of why we seek out the ostensibly negative emotions horrific and disturbing material evokes.
- Some small discussion of Lovecraftian influences in horror literature and cinema.
