IAH x Farthouse: The Shining Oct 31, 2023

Show notes

Happy Halloween 2023!

Here's an extra special treat in your pillowcase: an It's Always Halloween/Farthouse Crossover Episode!

Farthouse is a monthly film podcast hosted by Cinephile Cuties (and Lanterns!), Casey O'Brien and Patrick Mallon. They watch arthouse movies, so you can pretend that you did. And today the three of us discuss The Shining, spooky bathrooms, and DIY Filmmaking!

We also read your EEEEKmails about artsy horror, film catchphrases, nude scenes in class, and bathroom ghosts and banshees!

Casey and I are making a feature film together, 14 Stories in a Bathoom! Read more and/or contribute to our fundraising campaign here!

Please note that this episode, much like The Shining, does contain adult language and situations and would probably be slapped with an R-rating if the MPAA had their say!
