Summer Horror continues with a look at the cult classic Carnival of Souls from 1961 (or possibly 1962). The movie is seen as one of the most innovative horror movies of all time and is responsible for inspiring names like David Lynch and George A. Romero. But not everyone likes it. We also talk about the surprising new horror movie The Nest.

The episodes starts with a discussion about Titane's winning the prestigious Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. What does this mean for genre films? Are they being given more respect or will this open the door for lots of poor imitations? We also make another uncanny prediction, this time about Dune.

The Nest is a strange horror movie. The awesome poster and creepy opening make it look like it will be just another scary movie. However, the plot is more of a mystery and the script is all over the place. Our opinions were all over the place for this one.

Our look at Summer Horror takes us to the Carnival of Souls in the early 1960s. We talk about whether the movie would make any waves in today's world, whether it is a product of luck or true skill, and the origin of "no means no".
