A look at horror cinema in the seventies and eighties! In the second part of our Halloween special, Kazim and guest panelist Dennis jubilate about Bob Clark’s Black Christmas (1974). Then our panelists discuss the creation of the slasher, their favourite scary movie directors, feminism, the Italian horror renaissance, and the onslaught of sequels that followed in the nineties. Also, Dimitri comes up with a contemporary sequel to the 1986 gore fest Demons 2. Check out part one of our conversation, and then come back next time as we discuss contemporary horror.
