Ep. 389: House [Hausu (1977)] - Shocktober 9

Dalton continues to lead us through his house of horrors as we enter a psychedelic moment in horror, the 1977 Japanese ghost story, House. House, or Hausu, has always been explained by Dustin as Scooby-Doo directed by Rob Zombie. In this episode, we find out if that tracks. We discuss history and horror, the use of cross-genre conventions to make a point, surreal function in the film's design, and much more as Shocktober 9 continues to roll along.  Time Stamps: 00:30 - Introductions and Synopsis 03:49 - Quick House Reviews 15:20 - Expanding the Syllabus 36:46 - Analysis 1:01:05 - Shelf or Trash 1:01:19 - Wrap up and Next Week's Film
