So, You Like Horror? Podcast #74- Isolation Horror

So, You Like Horror? Podcast

Hey friends and freaks, what's up? This week on the podcast, we did things a little differently. For this episode, we welcome back Amy, a.k.a @aces_wild27, from episode 12, Children of the Night, and Jenn, a.k.a. @867_jenn_5309 from episode 6, the Conjuring Universe, to explore the chilling subgenre of Isolation Horror. From its literary roots in Frankenstein to modern films like The Shining and A Quiet Place, they dive into how isolation intensifies fear through physical remoteness, psychological detachment, and vulnerability.

They’ll discuss why it resonates so deeply—especially in a post-pandemic world. With examples like Gerald's Game, Hush, and the Terror, they unpack the primal fears of loneliness and helplessness that make isolation horror so compelling.

Join us for an in-depth look at how this genre reflects our anxieties and continues to deliver some of horror's most haunting stories.
