The Spooky Scholars Podcast

The best horror analysis podcast for the BIG questions we ask of horror movies and literature: The symbolism of slime? A zombie zeitgeist? Your weapon choice to survive a slasher? Anyone can summarize and review a horror movie but there's SO much more to horror than the list of shrills and kills. Horror is the genre pushing boundaries and taking society to task with monsters and mayhem, slashing and sex/gender play. Horror is EXTRA, and you need a friend (or podcast host) to ask, "WTF did I just watch?" Let's slice open the underbelly of horror and get schooled in spooky!

Zombie Zeitgeist | ZOMBIE AWARENESS MONTH EP.3

For our third installment in our series for Zombie Awareness Month we look at more ways that the zombies have shaped our culture.

Journey back with us to 17th/18th colonial France to uncover how Voodoo spirituality transformed this infamous monster from folklore to film. 

We’ll trace the zombie’s impact through history and dissect its pop culture icon status, including Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” and its unforgettable contribution to the zombie phenomenon and to the history of the documentary.

Whether you’re a zombie film  aficionado or a dark history buff, this episode will reveal layers you’ve never considered before.

Join us on this spine-tingling journey and gain a deeper understanding of why the zombie continues to haunt our collective imagination. HINT: Because they're us!....
