It’s been a hell of a week for the horror community, so it’s only logical that your friends from the Modern Horrors Podcast weigh in and try to make sense of it all. So what’s going?
Dread Central, an OG of online horror publications, is threatening close to calling it quits if they don’t get Patreon supporters. And while there may be a bit more to the story than that, the decision has sparked a very important conversation within the community. It’s a bummer, but they’re not the only ones suffering. Mike Flanagan has been struggling with the release of BEFORE I WAKE for what feels like an eternity, and he’s finally had enough. Netflix drops a surprise original series on everyone’s ass with THE OA, the filmmakers behind Uncaged are back and better than ever with PLEDGE, and Brooklyn gets their very own Giallo tribute with PSYCHOTIC!
All of that plus a full review of COUNTER CLOCKWISE (spoiler discussion at end of episode), another round of #ASKMODERNHORRORS, and so much more on episode 84 of THE MODERN HORRORS PODCAST. Subscribe, share, and listen!

i think another thing that really boosts these movies like “it follows” or “babadook” is when these movies came out, there was a dry spell of even decent horror movies that people could feast their eyes on at the time. i know i get badgered all the time on my channel for reviews of these blockbuster movies that every person in the general public can see on their everyday TV commercials but i know, at least from my very small group of followers, most people just want your everyday,cliched,cash grab movies and shy away from the,very often, better indie movies so when people cant get their hands on a “blockbuster, probably Blum house” flic and they catch winds of these underground,usually darker movies like It Follows or babadook…..they take off massively

#ASKMODERNHORRORS
Hey guys, I love the show. I discovered you guys through your guest spot on the Sincast. I’ve been working my way through all the episodes which says a lot for the way you guys play off of each other because each show kind of builds off of the last which kind of makes the last episode obsolete when the new one comes out. So I am listening to the old episodes just for the fun of hearing you guys interact, basically. And I very much enjoy the games you guys play on most episodes.
I know this probably isn’t the right place to post this but I don’t really use Facebook or Twitter and I really want to ask you guys some questions. I’ve actually got dozens I’d like to ask but most of them are very open ended and would take forever to write and answer but I would still like to throw some stuff out there.
#ASKMODERNHORRORS
When I was a kid, during the video rental days, I’d always want to rent a horror movie but I’d always have to get a comedy to temper it so I could sleep easy that night. What’s the last movie you guys watched that made you want to watch something light and happy afterwards?
And
#ASKMODERNHORRORS
Is it possible for me to write for you guys somehow? 🙂
PS. please continue doing the spoiler segments. Or start a companion podcast about them. I’ve watched lots of stuff on your recommendations and I’d love to hear you guys delve a little deeper into some of them.

That is a fantastic question, and we’ll definitely be addressing it on next week’s show.
