ARACHNOPHOBIA & INFESTED: Episode 189: Spiders! Artwork

World of Horror with Mom & Mac

Mother and son team Mom and Mac discuss, analyze, dissect and explore international horror movies. Conversations are casual but spoiler-heavy. We take turns choosing a genre or subgenre of horror and pairing an international film with an American one. Past episodes have included: Funny Games, One Missed Call, Let the Right One In/Let Me In. Genres we have covered are Animal Attack (BOAR from Australia and TREMORS); Creepy Kids (GOODNIGHT, MOMMY from Austria and ORPHAN); Battle Royale-type films (BATTLE ROYALE from Japan and THE BELKO EXPERIMENT); Haunted Houses (THE HOUSE AT THE END OF TIME from Venezuela and BEETLEJUICE). Special episodes feature foundational international horror films or guests who come on to highlight a film that "Means the World of Horror" to them. https://linktr.ee/WorldofHorror

WoHos!

This episode we are looking at spider horror films with ARACHNOPHOBIA from the US and INFESTED from France.

In Mom & Mac chat: Mac turns 30 and gets food poisoning and Mom gets jealous of her friends' good fortune.

From IMDb: A new species of South American killer spider hitches a lift to a California town in a coffin and starts to breed, leaving a trail of deaths that puzzle and terrify young Dr. Ross Jennings, who is newly arrived in town with his family.

From IMDb: Residents of a rundown French apartment building battle against an army of deadly, rapidly reproducing spiders.

Next time we are looking at puzzle horror films with CUBE from Canda and SAW from the US.

Remember, WoHos, we love you and don't go into the basement!
