Episode 254: Episode 253 - Angst (1983), Anguish (1987)

On the two hundred and fifty-third episode of THE THIRD ACT PODCAST, the crew are asking the question "Should horror movies be fun?"

Christian and Jericho get in the spooky season mood with reviews of two horror films that challenge the audience, 1983's controversial serial killer experiment ANGST and 1987's hypnosis chiller ANGUISH. But first there's a ghoulish batch of horror fare during the Recently Watched segment including The Leopard Man (1943), Aspect (2004), From Beyond (1986), A Page of Madness (1926), Killed the Family and Went to the Movies (1969), Starve Acre (2024), High Spirits (1988), The Front Room (2024), Speak No Evil (2024), It's Whats Inside (2024), and Smile 2 (2024).

They also discuss Armando Rivera's "horrorspondence", Art the Clown as top-tier horror villain, Christian's kids' foray into horror movies/Letterboxd, cursed vibes, the Serial Killer Industrial Complex (again), and implicating the audience.
