Horror Hyperfixations

A first for Horror Hyperfixations - a two-part episode! Myself and Abbie were very lucky to see an incredibly early screening of The Bone Temple back in December. In typical Sam and Abbie chaotic fashion, we recorded an episode in the car on the way to the screening 😅 Episode one contains spoilers for 28 Years Later and our predictions for 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. Episode two has our reactions on the way home, so contains spoilers! Episode two will be available on Wednesday 14th January at 8pmSocialsAbbie: @abnormal.ghostInstagram: @horrorhyperfixations / @sam.munsterTiktok: @horrorhalloweenandhomeLetterboxd: @sammunsterPatreon: Sam MunsterBlog: Sam MunsterHell on Shirts discount code: Munster10

Join me and Loucifer in an unhinged game of "Smash or pass?" as we discuss our favourite movie monsters that we (probably shouldn't) fancy. But we also have some really insightful (honestly!) conversations around being attracted to monstrous beings, seeing ourselves in the weird little guys of horror and why slimy, scaly monsters are always better than human men.SocialsLou: @9Loucifer6Instagram: @horrorhyperfixations / @sam.munsterTiktok: @horrorhalloweenandhomeLetterboxd: @sammunsterPatreon: Sam MunsterBlog: Sam MunsterHell on Shirts discount code: Munster10

I chatted with the brilliant Melanie Light, an award winning writer-director and all-round badass human. The plan was to talk about female serial killers, but we talked about a whole host of things - as often happens when two ADHD gremlins get together! Mel's short film "The Herd" has had over 5M views on YouTube - go check it out before listening to the episode!SocialsMel: @misartressmel / MelanieLight.co.ukWatch The Herd: The Herd on YouTubeInstagram: @horrorhyperfixations / @sam.munsterTiktok: @horrorhalloweenandhomeLetterboxd: @sammunsterPatreon: Sam MunsterBlog: Sam MunsterHell on Shirts discount code: Munster10

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

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

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

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.

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! 😅SocialsEmma: @beyondthescreampodcast / @thehorrorandherpodcastInstagram: @horrorhyperfixations / @horrorhalloweenandhomeTiktok: @horrorhalloweenandhomeLetterboxd: @sammunsterPatreon: Sam MunsterBlog: Sam MunsterHell on Shirts discount code: Munster10
