John Carpenter’s Silent Hill

‘Tis the beginning of the Halloween season, beloved listeners, and what better way to open it with one of our favorite directors and three of his great films - John Carpenter and his Apocalypse Trilogy! For those who haven’t heard of this yet, John Carpenter’s Apocalypse Trilogy just happens to cover the three movies all three of the Sneople have seen: The Thing (1982), Prince of Darkness (1987), and In the Mouth of Madness (1994)! After a little time spent of Sam Niell’s accent in In the Mouth of Madness, the Sneople hop right into what makes these movies work so well, both all together and as separate movies. They then delve into why they work as horror movies for people who aren’t generally horror fans, like Ezra! Matty and Helena also maybe spend a decent amount of time referencing the commentary for The Thing, but in their defense both of them just watched it and it’s very fun commentary, so what else are they supposed to do? Also John Carpenter, if you ever want to hang and play video games together, this is an open invite to do that whenever.
