Sometimes everyone is out to get you, especially in creepy villages.Join hosts Mick and Ben for a spine-chilling Halloween special, that nearly killed Ben in the editing room, where they explore various horror themes across movies, literature, and television. This episode dives into werewolf film trailers such as 'Werewolves' and 'The Wolf Man' remake. Perhaps most importantly, they take a look at the trope of creepy villages in fiction and reality and occult horror with references to H.P. Lovecraft and Shirley Jackson. They discuss the portrayal of small-town horrors, pagan rituals in classics like 'The Wicker Man,' and the eerie vibe of BBC's 'Robin Redbreast' (1970). The conversation also touches on the unique horror aspects of 'Hot Fuzz,' 'The Apostle,' and 'Midsommar,' as well as recent trends in film trailers and AI's influence on creative industries.00:00 Welcome to Sure Look, Sure Listen02:17 Creepy Irish Villages and Pagan Cults03:48 Listener Engagement and Reviews05:04 Exploring Creepy Village Tropes in Media06:02 The Victorian Era and Classism in Horror10:56 American Suburban Horror: The Creepy Village17:05 British Anthology Series: Robin Redbreast28:26 The Wicker Man and Its Influence33:22 Modern Takes on Creepy Villages: Hot Fuzz and More34:53 Hot Stuff and Hot Fuzz36:28 The Apostle: A Deep Dive39:22 Midsommar and Cult Horrors44:12 Derry, Maine: Stephen King's Creepy Town49:22 Trailer Talk: Werewolves and More01:02:47 The Monkey: A Stephen King Adaptation01:06:16 Wrapping Up and Upcoming EpisodesGive us a follow, or get in touch!:Hop Up On That Discord Baby!TiktokInstagramGmailSubstackLeave us a review on SpotifyJoin the Collecting Issues DiscordListen to Collecting Issues Hosted on Acast.
