Fearless Films
Fearless Films Podcast is a weekly show where we walk through horror movies, breaking down the beats, discussing the lore and interesting trivia of all the best (and worst) in the horror movie genre. The show started as Pete, the horror buff, explaining the plots of horror movies to Kevin, the scaredy cat, who hates being scared but is intrigued by these modern mythologies.
Kevin eventually retired from the podcast, but the show goes on! Pete is now joined by Sarah, who also loves horror movies, and they continue the tradition of explaining the scariest stories to all the scaredy cats out there, so they don't have to watch the movies.

Episode 66 - Terror Train
On this episode of Fearless Films, the guys check out Jamie Lee Curtis' second slasher outing with the 1980 Canadian horror film, Terror Train. The story follows a group of college students celebrating New Years on a party train, and being stalked by a vengeful killer. Not quite "Die Hard on a train" but close enough.
Pete takes Kevin through the intriguing mystery of the movie, which is not the identity of the killer, but how they manage to sneak around the train undetected (hint, this is also a costume party). Then, Pete delights over the fact that David Copperfield performs legit magic tricks throughout the movie!
Kevin puzzles over the fact that there is an entire B-plot about old men discussing retirement and the value of the train industry. Not typical fare for a sexy teen slasher film, and Kevin is afraid of a repeat of Halloween 3's middle-aged protagonist nonsense.
So everyone hop on board, and try to survive the Terror Train! And remember, don't get too scared...
