Watch out for mysterious motorcycles, this week we're covering the Iranian true crime film noir HOLY SPIDER. Drawing heavily from a documentary covering the real life crimes of the "Spider Killer", the film follows a female journalist who joins forces with a local reporter to discover the killer's identity when the police don't seem to care about the victims to solve the crimes.

Next time we're watching THE DEVILS.

*Due to this film covering a historical event, the whole episode will contain spoilers. Also, when making the visuals for our ratings, we mixed up our rating (and by we, we mean Katie) so forgive us for the audio not matching what's written.

Haunted Houses! Musicals! Creepy Dolls! This week Katie and Brit are joined by horror author and filmmaker Eric Miller to talk about one of his favorite scary movies, THE HAUNTING (1963).

While you may know the name as the movie that inspired the Mike Flanagan miniseries, the story started as a novel by Shirley Jackson who with it re-defined the genre. It truly was ahead of it's time as a female-centered film that tackled mental health issues made by already accomplished director Robert Wise in between making Oscar-winning musicals WEST SIDE STORY and THE SOUND OF MUSIC.

In addition to the film discussion, we talk all things horror as Eric shares with us his extensive knowledge of filmmaking and writing.

Special thanks to our guest Eric Miller and Angela at Pitch Perfect Media. Check out Eric's website at our research links below!

Next time we're watching Coralie Fargeaut's REVENGE.
