The Turning: Film vs. Henry James

A podcast for all lovers of horror movies, novels, and true stories. Your hosts are Bree, the book nerd; Megan, the horror expert; and Jena, our token scaredy cat. 

We choose movies with a counterpart to compare it to, including classic versus modern movies, based on true stories movies, and movies adapted from novels. Each week we will watch a horror movie and then talk about what scared us the most, or should we say what scared Jena the most.
