Welcome to the cinematic universe of Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead. These two filmmakers who have been creating some of the most intriguing and thought-provoking horror films of the last decade. Their trilogy of low budget films, Resolution, Spring, and The Endless defy easy classification.

With guest: John Arminio

Horror movies have looked to peoples' faith and beliefs to create some of our scariest monsters. When a movie becomes so ingrained in the culture, does the culture mimic it?

Being a horror fan comes with a stigma. Many groups from all sides of the social spectrum believe that horror movies are morally reprehensible and promote real-life violence.

Things might look bright and warm during Springtime, but there's something sinister underneath the surface.

Can you use horror as a treatment for phobias? Some psychologists think so. In this episode I talk about some of the common phobias, and how horror movies might be a safe place to come to terms with some mild fears.

Lloyd Kaufman, the President of Troma Entertainment and the creator of "The Toxic Avenger" drops by to discuss his 50 years of independent filmmaking, his new movie, and the art of making obscenity fun again!

Hellbent for Horror is nominated for a Rondo Award for BEST MULTI-MEDIA HORROR SITE!

In this episode, I outline my Horror Manifesto!

In this episode, I talk to Horror Host Mister Lobo, whose nationally syndicated show, "Cinema Insomnia" is entering its 16th season.

2017 was a very good year for horror, and in this episode I talk about some of my favorite horror films of the year.

It may seem weird that Christmas has a famous ghost story, but the reality is that Christmas ghost stories were a tradition in Victorian England.

We go to horror movies to feel the exhilaration of being scared, and to experience our fears from a safe distance. But, some horror movies aren't interested in sending you back into the world like nothing happened. Some movies want you to feel like you got punched in the gut after you watch them.

How does it make you feel when somebody stares at you?

An unflinching stare. Angry? Scared? Anxious? All of the above? How about when said eyes belong to a doll?

Oh, to have been there in the heyday of Grindhouse Cinema! Rows of theaters on New York’s 42nd Street playing classics such as I Drink Your Blood, Children Shouldn’t Play with Dead Things, Ilsa: She-Wolf of the SS, Three on a Meathook, The Corpse Grinders, and more. And our guest today, 42nd Street Pete Chiarella, was there for the highs and lows (and sleazy lowdowns) of it all.

I love the spirit of Independent Horror filmmakers, especially fans who are compelled to create, no matter what the odds. In today’s episode I interview Nick Hunt, the director/producer/creator of SAFE PLACE.

SEX and VIOLENCE. That volatile combination is both provocative and controversial for most people. It's where we're at our most vulnerable, and Horror gives us the opportunity to confront our darkest emotions in a safe environment. But, only a few horror films dig deep enough to strike a nerve.
