Horrorverse Headlines Ep 40 Spotlight on the Bonus Show 07 2025 A Terrifying Year in Review

This week we're taking a little break for X-Mas so here's a freebe from our Patreon Exclusive Bonus Show "It's Alive Action"

The year 2025 proved to be a banner year for the horror genre — not merely in terms of box‑office or streaming numbers, but in the way horror both broadened its ambit and deepened its thematic reach.

After a decade in which horror often leaned into nostalgic franchise revivals or formulaic jump‑scares, 2025 signalled a shift: we saw original indie films break through, sequels that pushed boundaries rather than simply repeating old formulas, and a renewed tension between psychological terror and visceral shock that kept audiences on edge in new ways.
