Regular Podcasters:
Lindsey Clark - Lindsey Clark graduated from Illinois State University with a degree in Journalism. She is currently putting that degree to great use by working at a bank. Her hobbies include reading, canoeing, trying new restaurants and pal-lin’ around. She joined the IT Records podcast in November 2016 and her top horror flicks are Scream (1996), Suspiria (1977) and IT (2017). Her guilty pleasure will forever be the 1998 cinematic phenomenon that is Urban Legend.
Matt Johnson - Matt Johnson graduated from Illinois State University with a degree in Journalism and Renewable Energy. He earned a minor in Cinema Studies and utilizes the knowledge from those courses for the enrichment of the IT Records podcast. He currently is working toward a master’s degree in Sustainability and Energy Economics. When he isn’t working at the university, he enjoys reading, exercising, and sipping a nice Malbec. A few of his favorite movies include Suspiria (1977), Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974), and Eyes Without A Face (1962). He has a guilty pleasure for the 1998 film starring Scrubs’ Sarah Chalke, I’ve Been Waiting For You.
Peter Hansen - Peter Hansen graduated from Illinois State University with a degree in Television Production. He is in every way the bizarro Matt Johnson. Peter never drinks coffee or reads books. He is shorter than Matt and better looking. Sure, he can be lazy, use terrible grammar, and procrastinate, but nonetheless he is trying to make a career with the degree he earned through blood, sweat, and tears. A list of films Peter loves include The Thing (1982), Rec (2007) and Peeping Tom (1962). Pete has a guilty pleasure for the tasty Junior Mint and the Stephen King directed film, Maximum Overdrive. He has been quoted saying the film is “simply divine.”
HOW HAS MODERN HORROR PARTED WAYS WITH CONVENTIONS OF THE PAST?
Good evening! All my creatures of the night. If you are reading this blog, be warned of the terrors which lay ahead, but I thank you for returning to my.. well…infrequent blog posts. Tonight, I will continue with a post about modern horror and how these films are breaking from the conventions we associate with the genre.
Geez! It has been a long time coming for me to post a blog. I apologize for my written absence, but I’ve dedicated most of my time to the audio portion of this podcast. Nonetheless! I sit here now to dish out my new blog segment called: Horror History.
Each blog post will center on a time period in film Horror History. The plan is to work chronologically from the inception of the horror film until the present day. Please don’t hold me to that because I may end up skipping around due to me interests at the time. For today, I will journey back to the wee beginnings of the horror genre. I wish to touch on the ever-present Terrible Trio in most modern horror cinema.
DVD overtook VHS very quickly, but it was a transition with an ending. And a transition that made sense to me. We can see it because they don’t produce VHS tapes anymore (except for special occasions), and people are throwing them away, which may be a bit drastic because they have value. I actually know a friend who only has his collection on VHS, but that’s a different story. This one is about my quarrels with going digital.
