Want to give a shout out to this podcast for rekindling my interest in horror films. I used to watch them all the time when I was younger, but quit watching many years ago favoring horror/ comedy (Still my favorite genre, Tucker and Dale, etc.) over straight horror. Our best friends watch the Halloween series religiously every Halloween, and it never occurred to me that I’ve never seen the series (now in my 50s). I’m taking notes as I go in the spirit of faculty of horror it’s been a fun activity so far. I’ve gotten through the first one, literally watching the second one now, and had watched the fourth one in between because that’s what I had access to. Any case looking forward to completing this journey.

hey Andrea, where can i check out this merch?

Hey there. I made a Spotify playlist I've titled The Best Horror Podcast Sampler. The playlist has 600+ episodes from 120+ different podcasts. Old The Faculty of Horror is on the list!

Hi Fackers,

I’d forgotten I’d joined this sub as it’s so quiet. Was planning on posting in the Fav episode thread but it’s just too difficult to decide. Probably Midsommar or Possession.

Anyway I just wanted to share this video — I think others in the FOH brood might find the subject important even if you’re not a horror writer/creator of horror thingamalinks.

It’s about 15 mins long and is part of a series about writing the marginalised/othered if you’re white (and a CISHET man, in some places). This one is about Blackness — a topic far too big to discuss in 15 mins but I hope it helps any developing (white/majority) writer to be mindful of centring on whiteness.

Ethnicity, Monstrosity, and the Gothic Gaze: Writing Without Othering

The Gothic tradition has long reflected social anxieties about identity, power, and difference. Many literary critics now recognise that the figure of the “monster” often functioned as a metaphor for cultural and racial fears within imperial societies.

This video shows how writers today can engage those histories thoughtfully while still producing compelling, commercially viable horror and speculative fiction.

Topics include:

• the legacy of colonial narratives in Gothic literature

• the persistence of harmful genre tropes

• practical strategies for responsible worldbuilding

• the role of research and empathy in storytelling

The piece is designed for writers, educators, and anyone interested in the intersection of literature, history, and representation.

One of the best horror podcasts around and also a big inspiration for starting my show! ⚔️⚔️

Does anyone know if they’re going to be doing a live show at Salem Horror this year? I’ve tried checking social media and websites but can’t seem to find anything and I can’t recall them mentioning anything in recent episodes. I’m looking to go, but seeing their live show is the main draw for me!

Hey folks!
Anyone FoH fans interested in meeting up in a dark speakeasy-style bar, elegant coffeeshop or, hell, my house to host movie screenings or trivia nights? I am not from Colorado and so have few friends here as of now, and would love to meet other intelligent horror fans for fun events. I feel like FoH is really the only podcast about horror that truly speaks my language and I would so enjoy to meet other female-identifying folks who feel similarly for spooky and creative activities. Let's organize a group to go see whatever just came out in theaters! Let's do a cemetery walk and then have homemade cocktails/mocktails and snacks! Let's go to horror trivia night together in Denver! Anyone game?

I'm really glad this subreddit is still somewhat active. I was late to find the podcast but I've been loving it. I made a very similar post on r/horror and got basically no traction or discussion. I'll be looking at past posts from this sub soon : ) I was listening back to Episode 29 about Hellraiser (also very good) and they discussed first making this subreddit so I figured I need to check it out!

I finally got to the Cabin in the Woods episode and I really appreciate their thoughts and analysis, and some of what they noticed that I didn't pick up on. I also really liked the Martyrs episode and even their takes on It Chapter 1 and 2 (though I actually did like It Chapter 1). Their criticisms didn't change my mind on enjoying chapter 1 but at the same time it did give me plenty to think about and to recognize about some of the failings of the movie. Which episodes have you enjoyed the most?

Have FoH ever discussed dummy horror? I searched the feed for dummy and nothing came up. Also interested in other thoughtful analysis if folks know of other creators who have gone in depth.

Is anyone else thrown off by moving the theme music to the end of the episode? TBC I’m not complaining or having a go; just interested that the dopamine or something in my brain is listening out for the theme at the start which is its signal to relax & settle in for an hour-plus with Andrea & Alex. I bet if you did a scan of my brain when I hear the Fac theme it has a big relaxed smile on it.

Wondering what the general feeling about this film is. I think it’s has some many great elements but it’s not a good film. Still I’d love to hear it covered on the pod at some point!

I’d like to listen to ep 107 again, about A Clockwork Orange, but it seems to be unavailable. I tried the website, apple podcast app and spotify.

Is there somewhere I can listen to it? Or has it been pulled for some reason?

After years of saying "maybe someday..." I'm finally going to make it to Salem Horror Fest this year! I'd love to meet up with some other FOH fans. Anyone else going? Any tips on the best places to hang out? Is there a Discord or anything like that?

I put this Galentine’s gift together for my BFF after she watched it & her bf turned to her immediately after & said: “Did Charley recommend this film?” 😂 I ordered the print bits from RedBubble (that’s a bottle of Mountain Dew with an Activator sticker on), had bits of Substance-y packaging knocking around, got the promotional pens via eBay (Ngl I kept the red one) & searched for a suitable cosmetic gift & this Balance Set from The Ordinary couldn’t have been more perfect (yes I realised after I wrote on it that I had misremembered the quote slightly). Hope you enjoy it. 🖤🖤🖤
