Episode Details

In Episode 8 of The Horror and Her I am joined by journalist, essayist and horror critic, the fantastic Kat Hughes.

We talk about what it means when horror is intrinsic — how early encounters shape our tastes, and why some of us don’t “find” horror at all, but are introduced to it early, safely, and with joy through family.

What Should Everybody Be Watching?

Kat recommends Bliss (dir. Joe Begos) and Hellbender (dir. The Adams Family), and also makes a passionate case for genre festivals as a vital way to discover bold, independent horror. We talk about the importance of seeking out festivals and curated genre spaces to find indie films that might otherwise slip under the radar
