We stalk through Drew Goddard’s “The Cabin in the Woods” and discuss:
- cinematography;
- story and writing;
- allegory;
- the role of horror films in society;
- and other such stuff and things and stuff.
“Some people ask why people would go into a dark room to be scared. I say they are already scared, and they need to have that fear manipulated and massaged. I think of horror movies as the disturbed dreams of a society.“ – Wes Craven

Loved the Episode! Thanks guys! I hadn’t seen this since it was in theatres, and totally hadn’t picked up on the stoner explaining the movie at the beginning, thanks for that!
Thanks Joe! I actually didn’t either until Wes played the clip. Then it clicked! Love those moments of realization when the filmmaker bakes in clues at the beginning. Ha!
