The Non-Existence Pretence - Warm Bodies (2013) vs. The Room (2019)

The Curators of Horror

Hosts: Emrys and Katie
Guest: Steph
In our eighth episode we meet petrified Horror hater: Steph, who'd rather pretend that Horror movies don't exist.
We ride Hugo the Horror horse, we don’t buckle to peer pressure, we pretend Horror doesn’t exist, we give out stickers for being brave, we picture ourselves behind the scenes to make it less scary, we get angry at the characters, we watch the Exorcist dubbed in French, we watch a zom-rom-com, we create new zombie rules, we have a bonies to pick, we realise its Romeo and Juliet with Zombies, we put poo on each other’s faces, we don’t know what’s real any more, we face the Oedipus complex, we’re obsessed with house restoration, our lights flicker so we move out, we go into business as interior designers, we find all the meanings, we have a god complex, and we discuss the movies Warm Bodies and The Room (2019)
