In this encore episode, we explore the emotional depths of grief in horror films - starting with The Descent and branching out to titles like Talk to Me, Bring Her Back, Hereditary, Midsommar, The Babadook, and The Ritual. We weigh how these movies use discomfort, atmosphere, and sometimes brutal realism to highlight the human experience of loss. We also reflect on the concept of “elevated horror” and what sets these stories apart. Plus, we share a demo of John’s original song inspired by The Descent. Join us as we navigate the unsettling beauty of horror’s darkest journeys.
