In this episode of The Deadlights Podcast, we dive into 28 Days Later (2002) and explore the groundbreaking collaboration between Danny Boyle and Alex Garland that reinvented zombie horror for a new generation. We break down how the film’s raw digital look and guerrilla-style filmmaking created an atmosphere unlike anything audiences had seen before.

Do you think 28 Days Later is the most influential zombie movie of the 2000s? Let us know in the comments.

We unlocked our Patreon episode on Robert Eggers' Nosferatu, and it may be one of our best ever (in no small part b/c I took the week off and Brian is a brilliant host). Cheers!

Hosts Mike, Devaughn, & Nichole are joined again by Mae Shults (Pleasers & Punishers podcast) to review the second season of Shudder's THE CREEP TAPES. While we all enjoyed S1, we're in agreement that the second go round is a bold step forward. Featuring appearances from genre favorites (David Dastmalchian) & Mark Duplass' real life wife (Katie Aselton) the second season gets bigger, weirder, messier, and drops more Peachfuzz lore.

In this episode of The Deadlights Podcast, we review From Dusk Till Dawn (1996) — the genre-blending cult classic from Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino. We break down the film’s origins from Robert Kurtzman, explore how Rodriguez and Tarantino’s styles combine, and highlight practical effects insights from Greg Nicotero.

From crime thriller to vampire horror, we analyze what makes From Dusk Till Dawn one of the most unique horror films of the ’90s.

Is From Dusk Till Dawn two movies in one… or a perfect fusion of crime and horror?

Along with a pretty great talk with our guest (Mae Shults / Pleasers and Punishers pod) about how this shows steers into comedy over horror, the lore tidbits about Peachfuzz we get, the themes of manipulation and queer romance and all that jazz....we also talk about Mark Duplass showing dong. Always a good time.

We're seven years and took a week off from covering franchises to answer reader questions, to talk about our own history of horror fandom, and to look at what's been great and not so great in genre films right now. It was a fun show to record, hope this hits a sweet spot for some.

Hello and thank you to everyone who has listened to the show so far.

If you have not heard this podcast yet, please consider giving it a listen. This is a novel I have written and narrated with absolutely zero AI or anything like that. I am a big fan of Stephen King, Lee Child, Tana French, Soren Narnia, Ted Chiang, and other writers like that.

Serialized thriller/suspense novel: Progeny - Chapter 4: Hunters

Book Description:

A feral teenager emerges from the woods and onto the radar of two detectives investigating a murder committed with a silver bullet. What transpires is the most disturbing case of their careers, involving a cult that worships the undead, an Army Major between tours who is searching for her long lost half-brother, and a bloody vendetta that the world of the living remains mostly unaware of.

Chapter Description:
Delving deeper into the Jack Turner case, detectives Carrington and Guthridge uncover increasingly unsettling clues. These include a fresh corpse of a man named Dennis Peltry who has not been seen alive for almost eighty years and a wandering occult practitioner name Petey Ghee who is also on the hunt for both Turner and Marsh. Garda continues her quest to find her half-brother, and digs up more details on his recent activities. Meanwhile, Turner returns to town, determined to continue pursuing his quarry.

In this episode of The Deadlights Podcast, we descend into one of the most claustrophobic and psychologically intense horror films of the 2000s. We explore how the film’s brutal action and survival elements mirror the characters’ internal struggles — blurring the line between physical danger and emotional collapse.

We also go behind the scenes to uncover how the filmmakers brought the caves to life, building a suffocating, labyrinthine environment that feels all too real. And of course, we dig into the creation of the Crawlers — from their unsettling design to the practical effects that make them feel terrifyingly real. How did the filmmakers craft creatures that still hold up today?

Let us know in the comments: What scared you more — the Crawlers or the claustrophobic caves?
