We welcome back Professor John Trafton to discuss George Sluizer's 1988 thriller The Vanishing. While we do give a large amount of the set-up for the film and thus, what some would consider spoilers, we hold back on spoilers for the ending. We love this one and want you to see it, however, not at the expense of undermining the experience.

Is Skinamarink the scariest movie ever? No. Is it even a movie? Yes. That's about all we can agree on because some of us liked it and some of us... respect it.  Also, recent Shudder adds Death Spa, Isolation (2005) and a bunch of other Horror discussion.

What can you say about Adam Rifkin's The Dark Backward? It's unlike any other movie we know of. Let's talk about it!
