Mother and son team Mom and Mac discuss, analyze, dissect and explore international horror movies. Conversations are casual but spoiler-heavy. We take turns choosing a genre or subgenre of horror and pairing an international film with an American one. Past episodes have included: Funny Games, One Missed Call, Let the Right One In/Let Me In. Genres we have covered are Animal Attack (BOAR from Australia and TREMORS); Creepy Kids (GOODNIGHT, MOMMY from Austria and ORPHAN); Battle Royale-type films (BATTLE ROYALE from Japan and THE BELKO EXPERIMENT); Haunted Houses (THE HOUSE AT THE END OF TIME from Venezuela and BEETLEJUICE). Special episodes feature foundational international horror films or guests who come on to highlight a film that "Means the World of Horror" to them. https://linktr.ee/WorldofHorror

episode 130: JACOB's LADDER (1990) & THE BABADOOK: Episode 130: Movies about Mental Illness
WoHos!
This week Mac & I discussed two movies about mental illness: JACOB's LADDER from the US and THE BABADOOK from Australia.
Mac was too smart for JACOB's LADDER, but he did think it was beautiful. Mom was profoundly wrecked by THE BABADOOK.
Next time, we are back to slashers with THE SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE from the US & FLASHBACK from Germany.
Thanks for all your support! Please tell all your friends all about us!
We love you, WoHos and DON'T go into the basement!!
