00:00No.

00:00Hey, Dread Central.

00:01I'm Catherine Corcoran.

00:02And I can't just give you four of my favorite horror movies,

00:05so I'm going to give you eight that are in my recent rotation

00:08and pretty frequently in my favorite rotations.

00:11The Birds, that was the first horror movie I ever saw.

00:141963, Alfred Hitchcock.

00:16Unbelievable, still super poignant,

00:19tackling environmental terror.

00:20Before we were even doing that.

00:24Terry, 1976, by Brian De Palma.

00:28Such a feminist piece, solidified

00:34a lot of feminist narratives.

00:36Her prom night massacre, I feel like,

00:38isn't just this moment of vengeance,

00:40but it's this violent reckoning against people

00:44who are trying to punish women.

00:46Such an incredible, incredible film.

00:49The original, Buffy the Vampire Slayer,

00:51by Fran Rubel Cuswe.

00:54I am a Buffy girl.

00:55I always have been.

00:56It was my gateway horror.

00:58The TV show and the original, but the original film,

01:00there would be no TV show without,

01:02so we have to give it to that one.

01:03Alien, obviously.

01:051978, Ridley Scott.

01:07That franchise is my favorite franchise of all time.

01:11Ripley, that character, enough said.

01:14Joel Schumacher's The Lost Boys, that

01:16was the one I would watch with my dad, who

01:18got me into horror movies.

01:19So that's the one.

01:20Also, that soundtrack, unreal.

01:24Toby Hooper's The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the original.

01:28I think, I always say that I've never

01:31been a giant slasher person, but I

01:33think that film, in general, is just so politically poignant

01:39and such an amazing reflection, especially right now,

01:42about politics, about relevance, about machinery,

01:49about environmental impact and animal rights.

01:53It's so good.

01:56Titane, that one, The Pomme d'Or by Julia Ducarneau,

02:01it is a freaking masterpiece about gender.

02:04And talk about female directors, she is unbelievable.

02:08She has another film, Raw, about cannibalism.

02:10That's killer.

02:12And then this past year, I think my favorites

02:16were The Substance and then Immaculate by Mike Mohan.

02:20So that might have been nine, but I could keep going.

02:22But there's a few to jump you off with.
