Welcome to the Horror Lab Podcast, where we dissect the best in horror movies each week!

Horror movies are a great viewing experience--most are just downright fun to watch! But the best horror movies also communicate deep themes and ideas. Join Will and Chris each week as they explore the depth of horror movies, extract various themes, and discuss a theory or two!

In this episode, Will and Chris take a DEEP dive into one of the best horror movies in recent memory--Hereditary! There's so much to this movie--a broken family, strange kids, demonic possession, the occult--all combined to make a truly terrifying viewing experience. This one currently sits at #3 on Will's T25 list!

Oh, and let's not forget--an Oscar-worthy performance by the one-and-only Toni Collette!

Join Will and Chris in the Horror Lab as they consider what is considered to be one of the scariest movies ever made--they talk themes, trauma, and more! If you've not seen this one before, make sure to watch before listening to HLP--and be sure to get rid of every distraction. You need to watch this one from start to finish without getting up!
