Not Necessarily The Nose: The Year In Horror, 2018

Warner Bros. Ent.
Bill Skarsgård as It in the 2017 film.

In terms of box office, 2017 was the biggest year in the history of horror cinema. One wonders: Why? And then this year has brought us Hereditary, A Quiet Place, and now Netflix's The Haunting of Hill House.

This hour: a look at our current horror through the lens of our current horror.

GUESTS:

  • Tom Breen - A film critic and the host of WNHH radio’s Deep Focus
  • Aaron Mark - Creator, writer, and director of the scripted fiction podcast The Horror of Dolores Roach
  • Matt Owen - Author of "Our Age of Horror"
  • Jason Zinoman - Writes The New York Times's On Comedy column; author of Shock Value: How a Few Eccentric Outsiders Gave Us Nightmares, Conquered Hollywood, and Invented Modern Horror
