The cat suit was an aesthetic concept first ideated by the french filmmaker and actress Musidora. Since that first inception in 1915, many a movie heroine (or villainess) has donned the black, skin-tight image we come to see in IRMA VEP. But to focus on the physical beauty of its star (Maggie Cheung), is to miss the point (if not entirely).

Norwegian writer/director Eskil Vogt (on both solo projects and those co-written with frequent collaborator Joachim Trier) is intrigued by the idea of “coming of age”...regardless of what age that might be. So it makes sense that he “felt seen” at an early age by The Breakfast Club’s Brian Johnon (Anthony Michael Hall). More recently, Eskil saw himself in Julie (Honor Swinton Byrne) from The Souvenir Parts I and II, which focuses on a more grown-up coming of age. He and Jordan unravel all that, and his chilling new movie The Innocents.

Then, one quick thing about Men (...the Alex Garland movie).

Find out how/where to see The Innocents.

Finnish director Hanna Bergholm put her creative spirit into her new body-horror coming-of-age film for IFCMidnight, Hatching. But she's hear today to tell us about feeling seen by another creative spirit: the titular Lucy Muir in Joseph L. Mankiewicz's 1947 classic The Ghost and Mrs. Muir.

Then, Jordan has one quick thing about Tron, obviously.

Hatching is in theaters and will hit streaming in the US starting May 17, 2022.

Acclaimed director Hany Abu-Assad is a real standup guy. Randle McMurphy…eh, not so much. But ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST has us rooting for McMurphy nonetheless, and for a young Hany, he offered a glimpse into the nature of oppression, and the power of creativity as a form of resistance. No, really! 

After Jordan and Hany have a deep and thoughtful conversation about all that, and about his new film, HUDA’S SALON…Jordan has one quick thing to say about something else deep: the new trailer for DEEP WATER.

WoHos!!

This week we looked at the Kiyoshi Kurasawa classic tech Jhorror, PULSE/KAIRO from 2001 and probably didn't understand most of it. That didn't stop us from talking about it, though, and we go OFF on the remake. Why? Just...why?

We also talk Norwegian TV, if relationships are possible on the Internet, horror anime and whether Ian Somerhalder is an actual human or some kind of supernatural entity.

We hope you listen and enjoy.

 Watchalonger WoHos, Join us in two weeks when we wrap up Season 2 with Hideo Nakata's DARK WATER from 2002 and the 2005 American remake.

We love you. Don't go into the basement.

Hi, WoHos!

This week Mac and I looked at the 1976 and 2006 versions of THE OMEN and got real apocalyptic with it.

What did Mom think of the casting of Mia Farrow in the remake? Why didn't Liev and Julia have any chemistry? Which Damien was scarier? Is there any way to make a PB&J ominously? 

Join us next week on the Minisode/Quinnisode, when Quinn and I dive into ROSEMARY'S BABY (It was only a matter of time) and THE INVITATION.

I'm mostly on Instagram at worldofhorrorpodcast, although I am trying to learn how to use this new fangled platform called Twitter. Worldofhorror3. We are also on YouTube.

Get in touch, WoHos! We love you. Don't go into the basement!
