In this pilot of Scaredy Cat and Horror Hound, Laney and Carson introduce themselves and why we’re talk about about horror films in the first place. We touch on the first horror movies we ever watched, what we think makes horror good or bad, and why Carson has to hold Laney’s hand through the process of talking about scary movies. We hope you enjoy the journey as much as we do!

Need a helping hand to guide you through the haunted house that is the horror genre? Welcome to Scaredy Cat and Horror Hound! Join Carson (the horror hound) as he leads Laney (the scaredy cat) through an introduction to all things horror, as they explore the genre in its many highs and lows. By introducing each other to the different sides of horror media, they will share insights as both newbies and seasoned pros while reviewing one piece of media each episode. With their backgrounds in art, art history, queer theory, and film analysis, Carson and Laney hope to provide new insight into horror and its many subgenres to educate each other and their audience. From the high camp horror of cult classics, to the psychological heavy hitters of contemporary horror, and every spook, slash, and scare in between, we hope all of your scaredy cats and horror hounds alike will join us on our journey!
