HORROR 101 with Dr. ACEp 116 - THE CHANGELING (1980): ONE OF THE BEST GHOST STORIES EVER MADE!!THE CHANGELING (1980) d. Peter Medak (Canada) (Apologies for the tech issues during the last 4-5 minutes! We were battling the ghost of Joseph Carmichael!) Tonight we're discussing The Changeling (1980), Peter Medak's stellar haunted house tale which usually takes a back seat to the big-budget envisioning of Stephen King's The Shining, released the same year. But in many ways, this small Canadian film, loaded with creepy atmosphere and tightly fashioned suspense sequences, surpasses the ax-swinging histrionics that Kubrick and Co. dish out. As grieving composer John Russell, recovering from the deaths of his wife...

But as this is an Argento movie, things are hardly what they seem.

Mark Robson (USA) Producer Val Lewton, the master of atmospheric horror, collaborated with legendary actor Boris Karloff on two memorable films: The Body Snatcher (1945) and Isle of the Dead (1945). Both films showcase Lewton's signature blend of psychological tension and poetic visuals, while allowing Karloff to deliver some of his most nuanced performances. They remain standout entries in both men's careers and in the horror genre at large. The Body Snatcher, directed by Robert Wise, is a chilling adaptation of a Robert Louis...

Masaki Kobayashi (Japan) Tonight, we discuss the 1964 Japanese horror classics Onibaba and Kwaidan, exploring their reflections of post-war Japanese society, folklore, and complex themes of fear and morality. Set in feudal Japan, Onibaba sees two women surviving by killing samurai and selling their armor. Blending psychological terror, supernatural elements, and an ominous, demonic mask, writer/director Kaneto Shindo (Kuroneko) uses stark black-and-white cinematography to examine the horrifying consequences of betrayal, lust, and murder. In Kwaidan, director Masaki Kobayashi (Hara-Kiri) presents four traditional ghost stories based o...

EcoJustice RadioGreening Without Gentrification: Expanding Parks and Protecting Communities - Ep. 119Can cities build new parks in park-poor neighborhoods without displacing low-income residents? These projects aspire to provide green space in neighborhoods that historically have little to no access to parks, but they can also lead to increased housing and living costs -- green gentrification. Some might even wonder whether such investments are a good idea, if they threaten to displace the very people they were intended to serve. Think of the iconic High Line in New York City or the 606 in Chicago, where abandoned rail tracks were transformed into linear elevated parks that are now flanked by multi-million-dollar condominiums.

I dette lunsjforedraget forteller Audun Vinger om Christensens unike aura og beat.Foto: Marthe Vee Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
