Welcome back to The Horror Project Podcast!This October, Laura and Phil head into the world of Classic Universal Monsters with our Listener’s Choice pick: Phantom of the Opera (1943), chosen by @Lenore1987 AKA Becky!Starring Claude Rains as the tragic (and decidedly dramatic) Phantom, this Technicolor classic has it all: opera, romance, murder, Gothic gloom, and one VERY enormous opera house.But is Erique Claudin truly terrifying… or just a misunderstood musician with terrible luck, poor money management, and an even worse living situation?We dive into the film’s curious split between opera and horror, Christine’s three rival love interests (and who we’re rooting for!), those cavernous opera-house interiors, and Claudin’s tragic transformation from talented musician to murderous Phantom.️Opera! Romance! Murder! Technicolor mayhem! What more could you want?Thanks for listening!Email - [email protected]  Instagram - horrorprojectpodcastTikTok - @horrorprojectpodcastSay Hi - Send The Horror Project a Message! 👋

Welcome back to the Horror Project Podcast!This week, Laura and Phil finally enter the world of Hell House LLC — because apparently, opening a haunted house comes with a few more risks than expected! A documentary crew investigates the unexplained tragedy that took place on opening night in 2009, where 15 people lost their lives. What really happened inside Hell House, and why are there still so many unanswered questions?We dive into the Hell House franchise for the first time, chat about found-footage horror, share our own scare-house experiences, and follow Alex and his crew as they prepare for their terrifying opening night.Grab your torch, ignore all the obvious warning signs, and join us… if you dare!Thanks for listening!Email - [email protected]  Instagram - horrorprojectpodcastTikTok - @horrorprojectpodcastSay Hi - Send The Horror Project a Message! 👋

Get ready for some glorious 80s Halloween madness as Laura and Phil take a look at Night of the Demons (1988)!A group of high school students decide to throw a Halloween party in an isolated funeral parlor — because apparently that seemed like a perfectly sensible idea! Things take a turn when a séance accidentally releases a demon from the crematorium, and the partygoers start getting possessed one by one.We dive into all the spooky 80s goodness, from classic horror tropes and outrageous fashion to fabulous hairstyles, nudity, unexpected twists and a wonderfully diverse cast. We also chat about Judy’s reluctance to attend Angela’s party, Suzanne’s very unusual lipstick hiding place, and plenty of other wonderfully bonkers moments.So grab your popcorn and join us for some classic 80s demonic mayhem.Email - [email protected]  Instagram - horrorprojectpodcastTikTok - @horrorprojectpodcastSay Hi - Send The Horror Project a Message! 👋

Welcome to The Horror Project Podcast!This week, Laura and Phil dive into Sinister (2012) — creepy Super 8 films, a very bad house move, and one seriously unsettling demon.We follow true-crime writer Ellison Oswalt as he moves his family into a murder house and discovers a box of disturbing home movies. Naturally, he decides to investigate rather than run for his life. Sensible!We’re talking Bughuul, creepy kids, grim Super 8 footage, Ellison’s questionable decision-making, and whether Sinister really deserves its reputation as one of horror’s scariest films.Grab your popcorn, turn down the lights, and join us for another gloriously creepy trip into horror.Thanks for listening! Email - [email protected]  Instagram - horrorprojectpodcastTikTok - @horrorprojectpodcastSay Hi - Send The Horror Project a Message! 👋

Welcome back to The Horror Project Podcast!This September, Laura and Phil embrace a glorious “So Bad, It’s Good” theme with our Listener’s Choice pick: Phantom of the Mall: Eric’s Revenge (1989), chosen by @deweypodmonster aka John!A year after a young man seemingly dies in a suspicious house fire while saving his girlfriend, Melody, a shiny new mall rises from the ashes. Then, naturally, the thefts and murders begin… and a mysterious figure starts lurking in the shadows, keeping a very creepy eye on Melody.But is this film actually bad, or is it just ridiculously good fun?We’re loving the 1980s mall setting, the outrageous fashion and hairstyles, and Eric’s frankly impressive skill set: ninja, bomb maker, marksman and cobra wrangler. We dig into the twists, turns, pervy security guards, fucked-up ice cream and corrupt mall owners along the way.So grab your shopping bags and join us for a trip to the mall where the fashion is questionable and the murder rate is high!Thanks for listening! Email - [email protected]  Instagram - horrorprojectpodcastTikTok - @horrorprojectpodcastSay Hi - Send The Horror Project a Message! 👋

This week, hosts Laura and Phil dive into Verónica (2017) — the chilling tale of a 15-year-old girl in 1991 Madrid who, after a solar eclipse and a disastrous Ouija-board séance meant to contact her late father, unintentionally unleashes a malevolent force upon her home. As terrifying visions, violence, and escalating supernatural chaos unfold, Verónica is forced to confront the demon threatening her family.Join us as we break down the classic “Ouija board gone wrong” formula (seriously… do they ever go right?), share stories from our own ghost-hunting adventures, and debate whether Verónica is truly being haunted — or if something more psychological is at play.And of course, we gush over the real scene-stealer: Antoñito, arguably the greatest kid in horror history.Thanks for listening!Email - [email protected]  Instagram - horrorprojectpodcastTikTok - @horrorprojectpodcastSay Hi - Send The Horror Project a Message! 👋
