Matt from New Jersey writes in “Hey, Love the show, and really enjoy what each one of you bring to the podcast. Great stuff! My question is geared toward Chris. I've never been much of a horror fan. That is, until the likes of Hereditary, The Witch, Us, and (hopefully) Midsommar. The thing is, I don't see myself enjoying the majority of horror films as much as I have these recent ones. Every time I talk to friends about these movies, they think I'm some kind of horror fan all of a sudden, but I really wouldn't consider myself one! My question is: what is it about these films that you think makes them more enjoyable to non-horror fans? I'm thinking it's the deeper themes woven throughout the films...something that lacks in a lot of other horror films I've come across. I may have just answered my own question as I write this email... Anyway, thanks for all you do!”
Peter’s follow-up question: what are some other good elevated horror films to watch?
