Get Geekish is Back from the Dead! (and we’re talking Horror movies)
Hello, horror hounds and podcast listeners! Beano and Derek here, your intrepid hosts of the Get Geekish podcast, back from a “brief” hiatus and ready to dive deep into the spooky, the suspenseful, and the downright scary world of horror movies. Life gets busy, but our passion for geeking out never fades.
Childhood Fears and Evolving Tastes
We dove headfirst into our personal journeys with horror, starting with Beano’s childhood aversion to the genre (blame it on a particularly terrifying scene witnessed at a young age). Derek, on the other hand, grew up watching horror films edited for TV, a cautious approach that shaped his early experiences.
As we’ve grown older, our tastes have evolved. Beano has come to appreciate the suspenseful and comical side of horror, while Derek still enjoys the diversity of subgenres out there. We reminisced about the campy charm of 80s horror and debated the merits of modern horror’s reliance on jump scares.
More than Just Gore
We dug into the psychology of horror, exploring what makes a truly effective scare and the importance of atmosphere in building tension. We also shared our love for horror comedies (who doesn’t enjoy a good laugh with their screams?) and discussed our favorite zombie flicks.
Tune in for the Thrills
Whether you’re a seasoned horror fan or just dipping your toes into the genre, we invite you to join us for this episode of Get Geekish. It’s a deep dive into the horror movies that have shaped us, scared us, and kept us coming back for more.
So hit play, turn down the lights, and get ready to geek out with us!
