New To You ep240: More Scarier Pt1

We're starting a new topic this week with a returning guest host, Giaco Furino.  Before digging into the first pick John recommends "Stranger Things" from Netflix. ______________________ Shock Value by Jason Zinoman (Book, 2011) Giaco's pick is a non-fiction book that explores the rise of the 'new horror' genre in the 60′s through the 80′s. The book explores masters of horror that wrested the genre from the likes of Hitchcock and Corman. Wes Craven's Last House on the Left is used to define the strong shift from code films into post-code.   The genesis of the film Alien is explored in the rocky career of Dan O'Bannon. You can purchase Shock Value on Amazon. ______________________ NEXT WEEK: More More Scarier with Elvis Costello's rendition of the song "Psycho."
