The Introverted Obelisk

The Introverted Obelisk is a sardonic stroll through the graveyard of classic horror cinema, where monsters are rubber, dialogue is stilted, and logic is optional. Join us as we unravel the plots (and seams) of horror films from the 1930s to the 1960s — the golden age of fog machines, mad scientists, and questionable acting choices. Each episode serves up a dry-witted recap, thematic commentary, and trivia morsels about the strange, charming, and sometimes laughably earnest world of vintage horror. It’s film history with a smirk — perfect for fans of cult classics, spooky nostalgia, and undead absurdity.

Obie Knox

Obie Knox is what happens when you let a film nerd marinate in sarcasm, caffeine, and too many Vincent Price marathons. Raised on creature features and questionable life choices, Obie now hosts The Introverted Obelisk as a public service — ensuring no one forgets the era when monsters wore zippers and mad scientists forgot basic lab safety. Equal parts narrator, heckler, and accidental archivist, Obie is here to celebrate, roast, and lovingly overanalyze the golden (and gloriously goofy) age of horror cinema.
