  • 31. Horror Hyperfixations - Where the Wild Things Are with Marcella

    02:36:22||Season 1, Ep. 31
    The incredible Marcella chatted with me about Where the Wild Things Are, children's horror and the uncanny. Marcella shared some of her research into why she thinks Where the Wild Things Are can be interpreted as a story of growing up neurodivergent - it's absolutely fascinating. Brb, going to go live with some monsters on an island...There are a few little audio buzzes from time to time - I'm not sure where they came from, but maybe there were some Wild Things causing havoc?SocialsMarcella: @marcellarees17Instagram: @horrorhyperfixations / @sam.munsterTiktok: @horrorhalloweenandhomeLetterboxd: @sammunsterPatreon: Sam MunsterBlog: Sam MunsterHell on Shirts discount code: Munster10

  • 30. Horror Hyperfixations - Chaos goblin update, a re-introduction of sorts and starting ADHD meds

    01:55:02||Ep. 30
    It's been a while since I've done a rambly update, so here's a chaos goblin update, a re-introduction of sorts and sharing about starting ADHD meds. My brain is braining worse than usual at the moment - sometimes you can hear my brain reboot mid-sentence and start again. I cut most of it out, but left a few in for a li'l summin' summin'.I jibber away to myself about seeing Ghost Stories for the 6th, 7th and 8th times, all the festivals I've attended and how bloody hard it's been since starting on meds.SocialsInstagram: @horrorhyperfixations / @sam.munsterTiktok: @horrorhalloweenandhomeLetterboxd: @sammunsterPatreon: Sam MunsterBlog: Sam MunsterHell on Shirts discount code: Munster10
  • 29. Horror Hyperfixations - Staging in horror with Robin

    01:57:57||Ep. 29
    I am super excited to share this episode, as I had such a brilliant time talking about staging in horror with Robin. I put Robin on the spot to share 5 movies that are worth a(nother) watch, to pay attention to all the little details. Listen to the episode and then go (re)appraise the staging!SocialsRobin: @robinbatsInstagram: @horrorhyperfixations / @sam.munsterTiktok: @horrorhalloweenandhomeLetterboxd: @sammunsterPatreon: Sam MunsterBlog: Sam MunsterHell on Shirts discount code: Munster10
  • 28. Horror Hyperfixations - The Conjuring Universe with Ghoulie

    02:02:20||Ep. 28
    I talked to Ghoulie about The Conjuring Universe, playing the clapping game as a child and being dung the Crooked Man nursery rhyme. Eeek!We recorded this before the 4th movie came out, but it accidentally took me 3 months (not 4, like I said in the intro) to edit it and put it out. Oops.SocialsGhoulie: IG @theobscurevanity / TikTok @thevanitymacabreInstagram: @horrorhyperfixations / @horrorhalloweenandhomeTiktok: @horrorhalloweenandhomeLetterboxd: @sammunsterPatreon: Sam MunsterBlog: Sam MunsterHell on Shirts discount code: Munster10

    03:22:14||Ep. 27
    Me and the glorious Emma Arneil of Beyond the Scream and The Horror and Her had a brilliant natter about Haute Tension, new French extremity and the jars of pickled onions in my brain. Standard behaviour when me and Em get together! šŸ˜…SocialsEmma: @beyondthescreampodcast / @thehorrorandherpodcastInstagram: @horrorhyperfixations / @horrorhalloweenandhomeTiktok: @horrorhalloweenandhomeLetterboxd: @sammunsterPatreon: Sam MunsterBlog: Sam MunsterHell on Shirts discount code: Munster10
