A father and son podcast about horror movies, and the moments that stick with you long after the credits roll. We talk horror, classics, new releases, and whatever else we feel like watching that week. Some episodes get into what makes a movie work. Some turn into debates. Some are just us trying to figure out why something scared us… or didn't. We're not experts. We just take movies a little too seriously.

  • Episode 10: V/H/S 94
    May 30 2026

    Some horror movies tell one story.

    V/H/S/94 tells several.

    And somehow manages to make all of them feel like they were discovered on a tape that should have stayed buried.

    In this episode of Jack and George Do Horror, we dive into V/H/S/94, a found footage anthology packed with cults, monsters, mad science, and enough chaos to make you wonder who looked at any of these situations and thought, "Yeah, let's keep filming."

    We talk about:

    • why found footage still works when so many people have tried it before
    • which segment we'd actually want to see expanded into a full movie
    • and why horror anthologies are uniquely good at delivering ideas that would completely fall apart at feature length

    This movie is loud.

  • Episode 9: Obsession
    May 23 2026

    Some horror movies are about monsters.

    Some are about people who become monsters because they can't let something go.

    In this episode, Jack & George Do Horror takes on Obsession, the newest film from Curry Barker, a movie that starts with grief, fixation, and loneliness… and slowly turns into something much darker.

    We talk about:

    • why obsession is such an effective horror theme
    • the difference between love and possession
    • and how some movies make you feel uncomfortable long before anything "scary" actually happens

    This one feels intimate.

    Like you're watching somebody spiral in real time.

    And the scariest part might be how understandable some of it feels.

  • Episode 8: VHS 2
    May 15 2026

    Some movies improve on the original by going bigger. V/H/S/2 improves on the original by going absolutely feral.

    This 2013 found footage horror anthology picks up the same cursed-tape energy from V/H/S, but the segments feel sharper, meaner, and more confident this time around. The movie is built around a wraparound story called "Tape 49," with four main found footage segments from directors including Adam Wingard, Eduardo Sánchez, Gregg Hale, Timo Tjahjanto, Gareth Evans, and Jason Eisener.

    In this episode, Jack and George talk about why V/H/S/2 feels like the franchise figuring out exactly what it wants to be: nasty, creative, chaotic, and sometimes way better than it has any right to be. There are haunted eyeballs, zombie GoPros, alien abductions, and one cult segment that basically kicks the door off the hinges and screams, "Oh, you thought the first movie was intense?"

    The big conversation here is found footage itself. Not just "why is the camera still rolling?" but how the best segments use the camera as part of the horror. A helmet cam, a documentary crew, a dog-mounted camera, a robotic eye. The gimmick works when the footage feels like it has a reason to exist, and V/H/S/2 seems obsessed with finding new ways to make that happen.

    And then there is "Safe Haven."

    We have to talk about "Safe Haven."

    That segment, directed by Gareth Evans and Timo Tjahjanto, has become one of the most talked-about pieces in the whole franchise, and for good reason. It starts with a documentary crew investigating a cult and then turns into a full-speed nightmare machine. Even people discussing the film years later often single it out as one of the franchise's strongest segments.

    So this episode is about horror sequels, anthology structure, practical chaos, creepy tapes, and whether V/H/S/2 is the rare sequel that knows exactly what to fix.

    Also: there is a demon.
    A very standard Baphomet-looking demon.
    But you know what? Sometimes standard Baphomet-looking demon gets the job done.
