Vox Populorum is a blog and podcast devoted to pop culture criticism. We believe that the best way to understand culture is to discuss it. But we also believe that it's a lot more fun to have these conversations throwing back a couple beers at the bar rather than in a classroom. Please join our weekly round table of media critics, academics, creators, artists, professors, students and fans for an engaging discussion about movies, novels, comic books, television, video games, music or whatever else we happen to think of!

Nec audiendi qui solent dicere, Vox populi, vox Dei, quum tumultuositas vulgi semper insaniae proxima sit.

e394. Spirits and Spectacles: The World of Haunted Houses

Happy Halloween! As we move towards the end of Spooky Season this year, we realized that there is an interesting cultural phenomenon that we’ve never even considered on the show before but that is something of a classic pop culture phenomena — The Haunted House. Hannah recently visiting a haunted house for the first time in her life… well maybe… and she wanted to talk about the fascinating culture behind them. So on this episode, she and Mav are joined by haunted house enthusiast, returning guest Brooklin Minicone-Esola to talk all about her experiences frequenting and even working in haunted houses, and the appeal that they show for the public. It’s a fun conversation so check it out and let us know your thoughts in the comments.
