Ranking Black Mirror Season 7 – Worst to Best

In this episode of Terror Talk Podcast, we dive deep into the eerie world of The Shining — both Stephen King's original novel and Stanley Kubrick’s polarizing 1980 film adaptation. They share a title… but tell two very different stories. We compare and contrast the drastically different portrayals of Jack Torrance, the mystery of the Overlook Hotel, and how each version tackles psychological horror. No wonder King famously hated the film — and we unpack why.We also talk about how King’s book lays a far stronger foundation for Doctor Sleep, and lightly touch on original documentaries that offer insight into Kubrick’s filmmaking process.So grab your axe and your typewriter (but maybe not both), and join us for a fascinating, spooky analysis of one of horror’s most iconic stories.Instagram: @terrortalkpodcastYouTube: TerrorTalk PodcastFacebook: Halloween All Year LongTikTok: @dark.psychology.girlsAll music for this episode is by Mannequin Uprising.

In this episode of Terror Talk Podcast, we dive headfirst into the Stranger Danger phenomenon that gripped the U.S. in the 1970s and 1980s. From disturbing true crime cases like the disappearances of Etan Patz and Adam Walsh, to dramatized media like Girls Beware and Wheels of Terror, we explore how a cultural wave of fear shaped parenting, public policy, and the childhoods of an entire generation.We break down the origins of the Stranger Danger myth, how it gained traction through news coverage and TV PSAs, and the true crimes that fueled the fear. With a mix of informative breakdowns and a bit of nostalgic reflection, we examine the psychological and societal impact this era of paranoia had on families—and whether it still lingers today.Instagram: @terrortalkpodcastYouTube: TerrorTalk PodcastFacebook: Halloween All Year LongTikTok: @dark.psychology.girlsAll music in this episode is courtesy of Mannequin Uprising.

In this chilling episode of Terror Talk Podcast, we revisit one of Australia’s most haunting unsolved cases: the 1966 disappearance of Jane, Arnna, and Grant Beaumont.
