Horror Business is an ongoing conversation about Horror Films. Lifelong horror fans Justin Lore and Liam O’Donnell gather monthly to discuss and dissect horror films in a sophisticated yet accessible manner. Academic yet easily digestible. High art washed down with a healthy dose of camp. Pinkies in the air whilst sipping our root beer. You get the picture. On Horror Business Justin and Liam will watch a double feature and go in depth about the films, and each show they will invite you, the listener, to be a part of the conversation.

Justin and Liam explore the cinematic landscape of mummy horror, dissecting the disappointing "Blood From The Mummy's Tomb" and the surprisingly fun, zombie-esque "Dawn Of The Mummy." They critique the films' handling of Orientalism and colonial themes while also sharing recent horror experiences, including documentaries, books, and other genre films. The discussion covers filmmaking flaws, cultural representation, and what makes a mummy truly terrifying—or not.
Hosts Justin Lore and Liam O'Donnell present their highly anticipated, often surprising, top ten horror films of 2025. They share their individual lists, offering insights and passionate defenses for their picks, including a discussion on returning franchises, independent gems, and genre-bending titles. The episode also touches on their recent horror reads, personal experiences, and the unexpected political undertones in Stephen King's early works.
Hosts Justin and Liam explore two distinct folk horror films: 1981's "From the Old Earth" and 1987's "Born of Fire." They discuss "From the Old Earth" through the lens of Welsh cultural preservation and Lovecraftian themes, examining its effective depiction of the primordial past intruding on the present. "Born of Fire" prompts a critique of its problematic portrayal of Turkey, its overt themes of temptation, and the blend of Islamic mysticism with a white savior narrative, ultimately evaluating its bizarre yet visually impactful approach to horror.

Justin and Liam explore two vampire films: 1973's "Ganja & Hess" and 1986's "Vamp." They praise "Ganja & Hess" for its abstract style, deep themes of religion, addiction, and race, and Bill Gunn's unique vision, contrasting it with blaxploitation. "Vamp" is discussed for Grace Jones' iconic performance, despite its problematic 80s comedy elements and wasted potential. The hosts also share recent horror experiences, reviewing "Weapons," "Who Can Kill a Child?," "Together," the novel "Cuckoo," and the non-horror film "Fantastic Four: First Steps."
