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.

What do you get when Stephen Spielberg wants to produce a blockbuster-style horror movie with Jan de Bont directing? You get 1999's The Haunting!
Based on the famous Shirley Jackson novel, The Haunting of Hill House, this incredibly 90's film follows a troubled woman invited to a sleep study at a spooky old haunted house in western Massachusetts. The reality, however, is that the doctor conducting the study is really writing a book on fear, and trying to get his guests to give in to the creepiness of the location. When the ghosts turn out to be real, no one is safe and no one can escape!
Join us as we discuss how this was almost a Stephen King written project (and what he did instead), the intricacies of fireplace engineering, and how the marketing department completely disrespected the star of the film, Lili Taylor.
So grab a nice warm blanket, start counting some sheep, and as always: don't get too scared!
