31: Hospitality Horror + New Song Demo - Psycho Encore

This week on Open Mic Night of the Living Dead, we check into the world of “hospitality horror” - those unsettling stories set in hotels, motels, inns, and even Airbnbs! Following up on our discussion of Psycho, we run down our favorite (and wackiest) creepy lodgings, from Motel Hell and The Shining to recent entries like Barbarian, Superhost, Bone Lake, and more. We share firsthand horror viewing memories, debate what counts as “hospitality” in horror, and spotlight some super deep cuts. As a bonus, we debut our original song, Your Lifeless Eyes, inspired by the GOAT of hospitality horror, Psycho. If you’ve ever gotten goosebumps from a night away from home, this is your episode.   0:00:00 Introduction 0:03:00 Motel Hell, The Shining 0:05:09 Barbarian, Superhost, Hostel 0:08:44 Mountaintop Motel Massacre, Eaten Alive, The Innkeepers 0:12:39 Vacancy, American Horror Story, The Rental 0:15:50 Bone Lake, Bates Motel, Night Shift 0:20:54 Your Lifeless Eyes Demo
