Ep. 389: House [Hausu (1977)] - Shocktober 9

Dalton continues to lead us through his house of horrors as we enter a psychedelic moment in horror, the 1977 Japanese ghost story, House. House, or Hausu, has always been explained by Dustin as Scooby-Doo directed by Rob Zombie. In this episode, we find out if that tracks. We discuss history and horror, the use of cross-genre conventions to make a point, surreal function in the film's design, and much more as Shocktober 9 continues to roll along.
