In this episode, hosts Katherine Troyer and Anthony Tresca discuss the 2008 film The Strangers.
Episode Highlights: Katherine discusses the impact of 9/11 on American horror, Anthony talks about the importance of ending a film at the right moment, and we discuss the merits of claiming that a film is "based on true events."
A Dose of Scholarship: Philip L. Simpson's article "'There's Blood on the Walls': Serial Killing as Post-9/11 Terror in The Strangers" can be found in Murders and Acquisitions: Representations of the Serial Killer in Popular Culture. For those interested in learning more about how 9/11 affected the landscape of the horror genre, we highly recommend Kevin J. Wetmore's Post-9/11 Horror in American Cinema.
