666 - Satanic Movies
Manage episode 452086073 series 2513002
John and Craig take a deep dive with the Devil, exploring the unholy trinity of satanic films: Rosemary’s Baby, The Exorcist and The Omen. They look at how these three horror classics work, where our modern conception of Satan comes from, and the future of the Devil on screen.
We also answer listener questions on character arcs in horror, what separates horror movies from thrillers, and why the spooky stuff rarely gets awards attention.
In our bonus segment for premium members, John and Craig offer their nominations for the antichrist of our times.
