HORROR OCTORBOR!: The Devil's Backbone (2000) w/Consequence of Sound

(Thanks to our sponsor Emporium Arcade Bar, as part of the Chicago Podcast Coop!)

We’re finishing up HORROR OCTORBOR FOUR-BOR, our exploration of foreign horror films, with Guillermo Del Toro’s 2001 historical supernatural drama The Devil’s Backbone! Justin Gerber of Consequence of Sound joins us to talk about Del Toro’s spiritual sibling to his later film Pan’s Labyrinth, in which a group of orphans deal with the ghost of their deceased friend while the staff of the orphanage tries to navigate the precarious sociopolitical climate of post-Civil War Spain in the 1930s. It’s a great, atmospheric horror film, perhaps one of Del Toro’s finest works, and it’s well worth watching. Check it out along with our custom cocktail and drinking rules below!
