Pan's Labyrinth: Scarytale
Manage episode 362817165 series 3427553
On this episode, the Clever Ghouls discuss Pan’s Labyrinth, the 2006 Dark Fantasy film written and directed by Guillermo Del Toro. This movie takes place in 1944 Spain, which is torn apart by remnants of the Spanish Civil War and World War II. Caught between a war torn country and a dissolving family, our young protagonist enters a fantasy realm filled with danger, excitement, and escape. Join us as we take a closer look at this film and talk about how we use fantasy to cope with trauma, the beauty of practical effects, and why this movie is one of the most striking dark fantasy/horror mashups.
This film is rated R for graphic violence and injuries. For more information and a full list of content warnings, we invite you to visit DoesTheDogDie.com.
