In 2026, So, You Like Horror? turns its focus to horror television and how fear unfolds over time. Across twelve episodes released throughout the year, the show will examine how episodic and serialized horror builds tension, develops character, and reflects cultural anxieties in ways that film often cannot.

Each month centers on a single series, exploring themes, narrative structure, historical context, and why the show continues to resonate. The lineup spans decades, formats, and audiences, from gateway horror and classic anthology television to modern prestige streaming series.

The 2026 series schedule includes The Haunting of Hill House, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Midnight Mass, The Twilight Zone, Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, Tales from the Crypt, Welcome to Derry, True Blood, Black Mirror, The Fall of the House of Usher, Lovecraft Country, and Them.

This year isn’t about rankings or shock value. It’s about understanding how horror changes when it has space to linger, how fear evolves through repetition, memory, and time.

New episodes release every 1st and 3rd Friday of the month throughout 2026. Watch along, revisit the shows, and explore what horror television reveals when the story doesn’t end after two hours.

In this episode, I take a solo look at Black Christmas from 1974, a film often cited as a precursor to the modern slasher but better understood as a study in atmosphere, ambiguity, and unease. Set during Christmas break at a sorority house, the film builds tension through obscene phone calls, off-screen violence, and the unsettling idea that the threat is already inside the home.

Rather than focusing on gore or body count, Black Christmas relies on restraint, long takes, silence, and point-of-view shots that deny the audience clarity or comfort. The killer remains unseen and unexplained, turning absence itself into a source of horror. I discuss how this creative choice separates the film from later slashers and why its refusal to provide answers is central to its impact.

The episode also explores themes beneath the surface, institutional failure, dismissal of women’s fears, and the collapse of perceived safety. I examine the film’s bleak ending, its influence on later horror, particularly Halloween, and why Black Christmas still feels unsettling more than fifty years after its release. This is a conversation about dread over spectacle and why ambiguity can be more disturbing than resolution.

In this episode of So, You Like Horror?, Guest hosts Maryland Phil and Chuckie O return to discuss Predator: Badlands and where it fits within the larger Predator franchise. They break down the film’s strengths and weaknesses, covering what works, what falls flat, and what stands out for better or worse. The conversation looks closely at how the PG-13 rating shapes the film’s tone, action, and tension, especially in comparison to earlier entries in the series.

They also examine how Predator: Badlands expands or reinterprets existing Predator lore and whether those choices strengthen the franchise or dilute its identity. They wrap up by ranking the film against other Predator installments and debating whether this entry justifies a direct sequel or should remain a standalone chapter.
