We take a closer look at the first half of the recent adaptation of Stephen King’s sprawling horror epic and discuss the ways that splitting the movie up changed the emotional core of the film.

We jump back into the 70s for a look at the infamous house on Ocean Street, and discuss screenwriting strategy in a closer look at the structure of this haunted house tale.

A look at the debut feature of director Ari Aster and his insights into family dysfunction and the long legacy abuse can leave behind.

John takes a closer look at the much-maligned remake of the 80s classic and touches on its themes of teenage alienation, suburban paranoia, and anxiety over the Satanic Panic that fueled the original.
