Suspiria (1977) VS Suspiria (2018) - ft. Heather Stewart
Wednesday Dec 24, 2025
Wednesday Dec 24, 2025
This week, we step into the dance academy and compare two radically different nightmares: Dario Argento’s Suspiria (1977) and Luca Guadagnino’s Suspiria (2018). Same premise, same title — completely different approaches to horror.
We break down how Argento’s original became a technicolor fever dream of sound, style, and supernatural menace, while the 2018 remake transforms the story into a slow-burn exploration of trauma, power, and political horror. From neon lighting and Goblin’s iconic score to muted palettes and oppressive dread, these films feel less like remake and original and more like alternate realities.
Is one version definitively better, or do they succeed in entirely different ways? We discuss atmosphere, performances, themes, and why Suspiria remains one of the most fascinating examples of how horror can be reimagined without losing its soul.
Today we are joined by Heather Stewart of The Revisionist Almanac!

Tuesday Dec 16, 2025
Tuesday Dec 16, 2025
Spoiler Free 0:00 - 22:13
Spoilers: 22:13 - END
We’re heading back to Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza in this episode of Horror Hour with the Hanna's as we take on Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the video game–turned–horror franchise. With the animatronics returning and the mythology expanding, the film aims to build on the eerie foundation of the first movie while pushing the story deeper into the dark history of Freddy’s.
We discuss how the sequel ups the tension, expands the lore for longtime fans, and leans harder into the unsettling atmosphere that made the games so iconic. Does Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 strike a better balance between jump scares and storytelling? And how well does it serve both newcomers and die-hard fans of the franchise?
Grab your flashlight, check the security cameras, and join us as we break down the scares, the world-building, and where the series might be heading next.

Bonus Episode: Dust Bunny (2025) - Mini Review
Monday Dec 15, 2025
Monday Dec 15, 2025
For this bonus episode we dive into Dust Bunny, a dark fantasy horror film that takes a familiar childhood fear and twists it into something far more sinister. Blending creature horror with fairy-tale menace, the movie explores what happens when imaginary monsters refuse to stay imaginary.
We talk about the film’s eerie visual style, its off-kilter tone, and how it walks the line between whimsy and nightmare. Does Dust Bunny successfully tap into primal fears, or does its ambition outweigh its bite? Either way, it’s a strange, memorable entry in modern horror that invites discussion.
Join us as we unpack the scares, the symbolism, and where Dust Bunny lands in the ever-growing landscape of unconventional horror.

Cure (1997) - ft. The Revisionist's Almanac & 1001 by 1
Wednesday Nov 26, 2025
Wednesday Nov 26, 2025
This week, we’re digging into one of the most quietly terrifying films to ever come out of Japan: Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s Cure. Often called a cornerstone of the J-horror wave, Cure delivers dread not through jump scares, but through mood, ambiguity, and an unsettling sense that something unknowable is quietly rotting beneath the surface.
We break down how the film uses hypnotic pacing, minimalist horror, and a killer who barely lifts a finger to create one of the most psychologically disturbing experiences of the ’90s. From its bleak portrayal of violence to its refusal to give clean answers, Cure feels less like a mystery and more like a slow infection of the mind — and we’re here to talk about why it works so well.
