For our 50th episode, we're diving into the eerie, expressionistic world of F.W. Murnau’s Nosferatu, the unauthorized Dracula adaptation that helped define horror cinema. We’ll explore its silent film legacy, German Expressionism, Max Schreck's unsettling performance, the infamous lawsuit from Bram Stoker's estate, and the bizarre fate of director Murnau.
This episode also marks the start of our hiatus—we're stepping into the shadows for a bit, but the crypt will reopen again soon.
Thanks for 50 amazing episodes.

👽 In 1978, the aliens didn’t come with lasers—they came with silence.
This week, we explore Invasion of the Body Snatchers, a sci-fi horror masterpiece rooted in dread, detachment, and conspiracy. We dig into its themes of identity, paranoia, and political fear, with nods to McCarthyism and Cold War anxiety.
Also: body horror, plant people, and Donald Sutherland’s most iconic face ever.

🥚 Angel’s Egg is a film that whispers.
Directed by Mamoru Oshii and illustrated by Yoshitaka Amano, it’s a surreal anime about a girl guarding an egg in a drowned city, followed by a man with no past. There are almost no words—but every image speaks volumes.
In this episode of And I Made Him Watch, we wander through its stillness, symbols, and sorrow. What does it mean? That’s not the point. The point is that it feels.

🌙 Eight dreams. Eight visions. One final message from a master filmmaker.
In this episode of And I Made Him Watch, we step into the dreamworld of Akira Kurosawa—where fox spirits dance in the rain, shadows of war linger in burnt fields, and Vincent van Gogh appears in a field of color.
🎙️ Dreams (1990) is more meditation than movie. We unpack the surreal vignettes, haunting landscapes, and Kurosawa’s reflections on nature, guilt, and hope.
It’s a slower, stranger episode—and maybe the quietest apocalypse we’ve ever covered.

In this episode, we resurrect Children Shouldn’t Play With Dead Things (1972)—a film that’s equal parts zombie horror, improv theater meltdown, and acid-laced funeral party.
This no-budget gem from Bob Clark (yes, the guy who made A Christmas Story) drops a group of actors into a graveyard, gives them a grimoire, and lets the bodies hit the floor. Literally.
🔪 Bad decisions? Plenty.
⚰️ Great fashion? Weirdly, yes.
🧟 Low-stakes necromancy gone terribly wrong? Absolutely.

This week on And I Made Him Watch, we’re talking about a movie that asked one very important question:
What if your local mall replaced security guards with death robots armed with tasers and lasers?
We dive deep into 1986’s Chopping Mall, a low-budget, high-body-count horror flick where a group of teens gets trapped in a shopping mall overnight… with killer robots on the loose.
We’ll talk about how the story was written in 24 hours, what inspired the robot design, some spicy casting choices (hint: the director had a crush), and why this movie became a cult favorite—despite having zero actual chopping in it.
From exploding heads to haunted escalators, this episode has it all.

This week, we sink our teeth into Fright Night (1985)—a horror-comedy that asks the age-old question: what if your new neighbor was a suave, disco-dancing vampire... and nobody believed you?
We’re breaking down this cult classic like it’s a wooden coffin lid. Expect synth scores, suburban paranoia, and more thirst than a vampire at a blood bank.

🌀 In a world where humans are pocket-sized pests and enlightenment comes with a body count, things get… fantastically weird.
In Episode 43 of And I Made Him Watch, we descend into the animated fever dream that is Fantastic Planet (1973). Directed by René Laloux, this cult sci-fi classic gives us:
🔵 Blue-skinned giants (the Draags) who meditate to horrifying results
🔵 Wildly surreal animation that feels like a children’s book possessed by demons
🔵 Tiny humans rebelling against their alien overlords—and somehow winning
Is it a metaphor for oppression? A bad acid trip with subtitles? Or the most terrifying petting zoo in cinema? You decide.
🎧 New episodes every Monday—because existential dread waits for no one.

A decade after a seemingly harmless college experiment, something is very wrong. People are losing their hair. Their minds are snapping. And their eyes burn with an unnatural light.

🧠 How does the film tap into real fears about memory, control, and identity?
👁️ And why is Blue Sunshine still such an underseen nightmare?
