Episode #1: Discussion of origins of modern horror cinema

Discussion of the origins of modern horror cinema can be found here.

Show notes:
* Discussion of three films: Night of the Living Dead (1968), The Exorcist (1973), and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)
*Social commentary (i.e. race relations, gender stereotypes)
*Take that, Hollywood!
*Haitian vs. US zombies (or, where are the vampires?)
*Yum, split pea soup. My favorite!!
*Caveat: beware scary hitchhikers in Texas!

The song of the night, “Remains of the Day” by Blood Ruby was provided tonight from the PodShow Podsafe Music Network. Check it out at music.podshow.com.
