Episode 023- What's Eating You?

In this month of Thanksgiving when, in America, we feast... I'm thinking about things that feast on us.  The fear of being eaten is primal, and dates back to our caveman days when we were on the menu for all the big predators.  And it's been a mainstay of horror for ages.  The Blob, The Fly (both the original and the David Cronenberg remake), and countless other movies and books deal with the primal fear of being eaten by an unknown monster.  So, in this episode I talk about some movies and books that give their own unique and horrible answers to the age old question... "What's eating you?" Some are classics, some are cult classics, and some are satires.  All of them will creep you out.   I hope you enjoy them.   If you like the show, please consider writing a review on iTunes or Google Play.  It really helps.  Thanks a lot for listening.      You can now subscribe to the Hellbent for Horror podcast now available on iTunes, Google Play, PlayerFM, and Stitcher.   You can keep up with Hellbent for Horror on iTunes @iTunesPodcasts     iTunes link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/hellbent-for-horror/id1090978706 Google Play link:https://play.google.com/music/listen#/ps/Ibsk2i4bbprrplyvs37c6aqv2ny Stitcher link: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/hellbent-for-horror?refid=stpr   For you, the listeners of Hellbent for Horror, Audible is offering a free audiobook download with a free 30-day trial to give you the opportunity to check out their service.
