The Curators of Horror

Latest Episodes:

The Catholic Childhood - What We Do In The Shadows (2014) vs. A Quiet Place (2018) Mar 06, 2020

Show notes

Hosts: Emrys and Katie
Guest: Taya
In our eleventh episode we meet Taya who avoids Horror at all costs, partly due to her strict Catholic upbringing.
We fear El Diablo, we ask is it a horror film, again. We find where we sit on the Horror Spectrum, someone breaks the cardinal rule and talks about Black Swan. We all crush on Taika Waititi and Emily Blunt, we realise that we live in our own quiet place, we visit a sexy waterfall and we also discuss the movies What We Do In The Shadows and A Quiet Place.

Show notes

Hosts: Emrys and Katie
Guests: Harriet & Ben
COUPLE CURATION - SPECIAL
In our eighth episode we meet engaged couple Harriet and Ben. Harriet likes Horror movies. Ben doesn’t like Horror movies. We want to help...
We eat an apple? We try not to talk through the movies, expect more flies from The Fly, wildly misunderstand the word exonerate and struggle to suspend our disbelief. Katie puts herself as a baked bean hater and we ask the immortal question, what body part is that in that jar? We also discuss the movies The Fly and Oculus.
