We talk about a whole bevy of spooky media this time, including:

Films from A24 studios such as The Witch, Saint Maude, Midsommar, Hereditary, and The Lighthouse

Some 80s satanic panic sendup like The Babysitter and Satanic Panic (of course), as well as the Fear Street Trilogy from Netflix

The chilling slow-burn psychological and occult horror of films like It Follows, Get Out, As Above So Below, and A Dark Song

Some surprise indie scares like The Girl with All the Gifts and Sweetheart

Serialized spookiness (with a dash of silliness) from shows like The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Salem, Evil, and the family-oriented-but-VERY-witchy Disney show called The Owl House

And some horror-fan (and horror-fearing) podcasts like The Horror Virgin, Too Scary Didn’t Watch, Spook-O-Rama, and Watch if You Dare
