THE UGLY STEPSISTER & HANSEL & GRETEL (2007): Episode 181: Beauty is Pain 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 time we are looking at Fairy Tale horror with Korea's HANSEL & GRETEL and THE UGLY STEPSISTER from Norway.

We had some technical difficulties so there is no Mom & Mac chat™ this week, but we had some tangents including highlights from Park Chan-wook films, changing batteries, and the Nose Appreciation Society.

Next time we are looking at Zombie movies with DEAD & BURIED & THE NIGHT EATS THE WORLD from France.
