Chamber of Chills

Ep 50: Get Out (2017) - #9 Top Horror

CONSIDER THIS HANDLED.
Talk about a directorial debut. Peele might've set the bar for new horror directors entering the scene because... sheesh. From universities using this film for dissecting political film writing to other legendary horror directors praising Peele's writing as "intelligent horror," there's not much else you can say about the impact Get Out has had on the genre and film as a whole. Other than...
Daniel Kaluuya's performance in the Sunken Place scene. That's it. That's the tweet.
Also, happy 50th episode, can't believe we've made it this far. Thanks to everyone for listening <3 Visit https://www.moonerafilms.com/chamber-of-chills-podcast for more information about our podcast!

Ep 49: Psycho (1960) - #10 Top Horror

AND OUR TOP 10 HORROR FILMS OF ALL TIME COUNTDOWN BEGINS.
Did this film push you to choose baths over showers? Apparently it has for several people, including Cameron.
We bring you Alfred Hitchcock's most notable film, and what several critics have listed as one of the best horror films of all-time, Psycho (1960). Whether or not you enjoy this film, it is undeniable how much of an influence it has had on the horror genre, and even filmmaking genre as a whole. With epic twists to iconic music, it's clear how Hitchcock brought home a whopping $150m (in today's dollars) from the success of this psychological horror.
We hope you enjoy, lovelies.

Ep 48: Honorable Mentions for the Best Horror Films of All Time

So many amazing horror films… and they still didn’t make our Top 50.
In this episode, we’re talking about the spicy ones that got away. From the near-misses to the forgotten gems, and even a few movies we somehow still haven’t seen (yes, shame on us). Luckily, we’ve got the one and only Dr. Nick Fleece joining the fun to help us break it all down.
And stay tuned for what’s next: our final Top 10 Countdown begins soon. Mwa ha ha.

Ep 47: Hot Takes Hallway 4 (#20 - #11 Top Horror)

"Nope > Get Out." "The Witch is the scariest film ever made." "Jaws? More like JUGS."
These are just a few of the spicy submissions we received on our fourth Hot Takes Hallway special episode, where we talk through submissions from our amazing community. The 12 films we dissected on this episode are:
- Nope
- Alien
- The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
- Misery
- The Sixth Sense
- The Blair Witch Project (1999)
- Insidious
- A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
- Jaws
- The Witch

Ep 46: The Witch (2015) - #11 Top Horror

Check the nails... Anything seem off to you, Karen?
We bring you the lovechild of The Blair Witch Project and Mother!, featuring the breakout role of our stargirl, Anya Taylor Joy, and the lovely directorial debut of the now iconic Robert Eggers.
Eggers may have put his honeymoon fund on the line to make this film, and boy is his spouse probably so psyched (now). Join us as we dive into the final horror film on our list before our Top 10 horror films of all time, and one that may leave you feeling heavy and dreadful after your viewing experience (especially if you watched it at the theater alone like a loser)...
The Witch (2015).
 

Ep 45: Jaws (1975) - #12 Top Horror

YOU'RE GONNA NEED A BIGGER BOAT, BABY.
Boy is it fun tackling a Spielberg classic. Did you know this was his second film he ever directed? And that he was only 27 years old? And that this film tripled in its initial budget? And that it's still one of the highest performing box office hits in history?
From being the first summer blockbuster in cinematic history to being a top three drive-in movie experience, Jaws continues to take the world by storm even after 50 years of its release in theaters.
Join us as we dissect a monster flick that, yes, we do consider to be slightly horrific and deserving of its place in our top 50 horror films of all-time, even though it's wildly rated PG.
 

Ep 44: Bring Her Back (2025)

Evil comes full circle in this Chamber of Chills special, where we record our first episode right after viewing it, sitting with our mics in the balcony of the theater we just watched it in.
The Philippou brothers give us their second horror film after Talk To Me (2022), and it might just be a teeth-clenching banger (pun intended).
From cults and possession to tragedy and wildly unnerving special effects, this film contains the formula of an A24 horror classic. Does it hold up against the shocking reviews and audience reactions? Will it really make you queasy and unable to think about anything else? And bonus question: is it bad to enjoy watching horror movies like this as a Christian?
All we have to say is, go watch this film if you love horror. But you'll have the best horror experience with minimal expectations.

Ep 43: A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) - #13 Top Horror

TINA, WAKE UP.
Wes Craven... you horror franchise mastermind. Does this classic stand the test of time or can you look past the dramatic 80s dialogue? Also, how does such an amazingly iconic film have one of the worst endings to a horror film?
Join us as we dissect our #13 top horror film of all-time, and discuss some wildly hot takes about the kings of classic horror and the battle for some of the the best nightmare fuel.
Do you believe in the boogeyman?

Ep 42: Sinners (2025)

“You keep dancing with the devil, one day he's gonna follow you home.”
Somebody take me in your arms to go see this movie again, because Coogler has created an instant vampire musical classic that will stick with cinema lovers for a long time.
From behind-the-scenes of the making of this film to breaking down our favorite scenes in detail, we explore the ins and outs of why this movie is captivating the hearts and ears of several moviegoers, and why you're missing out if you don't feel the same.
Is this a top 10 film of all time? How about including a top 3 cinematic scene of all time? The hot takes are spicier than ever in our special episode of Chamber of Chills, Sinners (2025).

Ep 41: Insidious (2010) - #14 Top Horror

Ever seen a human being having a WWE smackdown with a Slytherin bodyguard? How about a ghost trapped in the further, who finally sees their way into the real world through a closet door, just to be stopped by the door closing in their face? If not, you’re in for a treat, because we explore the film that made Adam jump the most he’s ever jumped in a horror film (when he was 13 years old at an 8th grade birthday party, of course).
Join us on this episode as we dissect our #14 Top Horror Film of All Time, Insidious (2010). And yes, we understand this ranking is a crime, but... Just listen to the podcast episode and you may not hate us as much.
