Anatomy of a Scream Pod Squad

This episode covers the cultural context from which The Last House On The Left emerged. Taking a step back from the creative process of the film, we explore the national fears and broken dreams that inspired it. We will also begin to break down a discussion about post-modernism in horror. Using Dr. Isabel Pinedo’s article “Recreational Terror: Postmodern Elements of the Contemporary Horror Film,” we look at how Craven’s film signified a permanent change for the genre.Wanna connect with the show?RC: @rcjarascriptsLINKSDr. Pinedo’s article is lamentably not readily accessible but it is available to read on JSTOR with an individual account (article here)Edgar Beatty’s documentaryMusic: ESN Productions - “Horror Ambiance”Discover more fabulously spooky Anatomy of a Scream Pod Squad shows at anatomyofascream.com and follow the network on Twitter and Instagram @aoas_xx!  Hosted on Acast.

This episode focuses on writer/director Wes Craven before his status as horror maestro. Though the film plays like a nasty, loose-cannon experiment, The Last House On The Left was an incredibly personal script. To gain insight into the state of mind guiding the project, we hear from the man himself through various interviews about this film and horror in general.Mick Garris’s Post Mortem is featured heavily throughout the recording. Craven’s final interview on the show was a valuable source.Wanna connect with the show?RC: @rcjarascriptsLINKSPost Mortem interview:Part OnePart Two Part Three Part Four “Fairytales for the Apocalypse,” the 1985 print interview with Craven by Christopher Sharett is lamentably not readily accessible but it is available to read on JSTOR. Sean Blumenshine’s review for The Fireworks Woman was also a great resource.Music used:Asian Women on the Telephone - “Horror Symphony”dustmotes - “Dead Inside”Filmy Ghost - “Himuro Mansion”ESN Productions - “Horror Ambiance”Hadwin Channel - “Horror Background Music”David Hess - “Wait for the Rain”Discover more fabulously spooky Anatomy of a Scream Pod Squad shows at anatomyofascream.com and follow the network on Twitter and Instagram @aoas_xx!
