It's time for another visit to The Confessional! This week, Brian and Pat touch on films like 'Return to Silent Hill,' Dead of Winter,' 'Psycho Killer' and many more. Things are said that can never be taken back (mostly by Pat) and some critical corrections are made. Tune in!

We had a lot of fun stretching the limits of our format in our recording today. But honestly, it may be one of our best episodes yet! We hope you enjoy it when it drops next Friday.

Brian wrote about the behind the scenes story of Bride of Frankenstein for @bloody-disgusting.com. Give it a read for the bumpy journey to this masterpiece.

And while you’re at it, give our latest episode a listen where we dive into the spiritual imagery and themes of the movie.

I have to admit, I was like @horrordad.bsky.social when I saw this as a kid. I didn't get it -- the deviation from the original's tone, the comedic elements, the subtext, etc. It was only when I watched as an adult that it finally clicked, and now I appreciate it for what it truly is: ingenious.

A Modern Resurrection: The Return of Religious Horror Films If you were to ask horror fans to name a film they consider “religious horror,” most would likely name a movie from around fifty years ago—Rosemary’s Baby (1968), The Exorcist (1973), or The Omen (197...

In my latest for @bloody-disgusting.com I take a look at the new wave of religious horror and why it is happening now.

Welcome to a new world of gods and monsters!

In our latest episode we go all the way back to 1935 and the masterpiece that is BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN. Join us as we dive into all the subtext and imagery that was snuck past the censors, along with the brilliance and fun of this all-time classic.

If you're not listening to Holy Terrors pod you are missing out. The most nuanced discussions of religion in horror, and not just Christianity. They're gonna cover some weird stuff too and I'm really excited for a fresh take on this topic. No one's doing it like them.

0% on the Tomatometer. Well, maybe this is one I’m seeing so you don’t have to. Or maybe I’m just desperate to get to the theater after a couple weeks away. Whatever the case…I’m going in. Wish me luck.

Lovers in a Dangerous Time: A Selection of Horror Romances By Pat Brennan

Since it's Valentine's Day, I thought I'd repost this piece I wrote a little while ago to mark my wife and I's tenth wedding anniversary. She's the best partner a guy could ever ask for, and I'd literally be in a ditch somewhere if she wasn't in my life.

Seattle is back in the movies! Or at least a version of it is. In my latest for @bloody-disgusting.com I wrote about what a recent crop of horror movies get right and wrong about the Emerald City and why I love them anyway.
