Light & Shadow: A Horror Podcast Light & Shadow: A Horror Podcast

In this episode, I'm discussing the the recent popularity of Catholic horror and why I was pleasantly surprised by The First Omen. I'm also returning to my roots and exploring why religious themes continue to resonate in the horror genre.

I'm joined by Hannah of the Cinema Slab Podcast to discuss the 1984 classic, Children of the Corn. We also chat about our experiences growing up in church, including singing hymns and heckling pastors.

Is this a simple haunted house story, or something more? This month, I’m taking a deep dive into this Stephen King adaptation and what it has to say about being trapped in the personal hell that is room 1408.

This month, I’m sharing a special collaboration episode originally released on Creature Comforts, a spinoff show featured on Straight Chilling’s YouTube channel that explores horror adjacent films. Justin and I are discussing the more gruesome aspects of The Passion of the Christ, why the movie might resonate with horror fans, and how I personally view it as a religious person.

In this Women in Horror Month episode, Im joined by Jacqueline from A Cut Above to discuss motherhood, purgatory, and judgement in Silent Hill.

I'm joined by Bob from Straight Chilling to discuss the world of voodoo, magic, and scientific discovery in Wes Craven's The Serpent and the Rainbow.
We also chat about playing drums in worship bands and the controversy of wearing pants on stage at my childhood church.
