The Scariest Things Podcast Episode 171: The ABC’s of Horror

Alphabet of Horror by Jared Von Hinman It’s an exercise we all learned from the moment we started reading. Learn your ABCs by associating words with letters. Imagine if you learned how to read and write by associating the alphabet with horror movies. That’s the theme of The Scariest Things Podcast episode 171. Before you listen to the podcast, here’s what we invite you to do. Come up with your own list! For every letter of the alphabet, come up with a horror movie title, and follow along. Then, listen to the podcast, and compare it with what Liz, Eric, and Mike came up with. This will be done in speed round format, so we won’t be talking about the movies, it’s just a stream-of-consciousness exercise. Fun with interaction with your podcast! And, you just might impress your first-grade teacher that now you know your ABCs. This is also a time to revisit some of the great infographic horror alphabets that are out there. Notable examples include Jared Von Hindman’s darkly disturbing (but amusing) Alphabet of Horror and David G. Forés‘ adorable Tiny Creatures Alphabet. Unfortunately, we don’t have the A-Z keys, but some of them are available if you purchase them (The Dorothy Alphabet of Horror is a print that comes with the key.) Tiny Creatures Alphabet by David G.
