To kick off Halloween season 2025, Matthew and Ian talk about the classic ghost story THE UNINVITED, starring Ray Milland, Gail Russell and Ruth Hussey.

Along the way the discussion ventures into haunted families, finding the right tone in a horror movie, and a surprising connection between this 1944 film and THE MARTIAN.<a rel="payment" href="https://www.patreon.com/IMMProject">Support IMMP</a>Links:<ul><li><a title="The Uninvited (1944 film) - Wikipedia" rel="nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Uninvited_(1944_film)">The Uninvited (1944 film) - Wikipedia</a></li><li><a title="Lewis Allen (director) - Wikipedia" rel="nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_Allen_(director)">Lewis Allen (director) - Wikipedia</a></li><li><a title="Ray Milland - Wikipedia" rel="nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Milland">Ray Milland - Wikipedia</a></li><li><a title="Gail Russell - Wikipedia" rel="nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gail_Russell">Gail Russell - Wikipedia</a></li><li><a title="Dorothy Macardle - Wikipedia" rel="nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorothy_Macardle">Dorothy Macardle - Wikipedia</a></li><li><a title="Jane Schoenbrun" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.janeschoenbrun.com/">Jane Schoenbrun</a></li></ul>

182: POLTERGEIST (1982)

Matthew Porter and his son Ian Porter explore movies, TV, books and music from Matthew's youth, way back in the 20th Century. What stands the test of time? What doesn’t? And what's still worth binging in the new millennium? Son learns what made Dad ... whatever he is today. And Dad learns what Son thinks of all this. (Music by Jason Aro / Pond5)
