Next Episode: That Spooky Season Feeling

It's officially spooky season at Movies for Life and we are both READY FOR IT! Both of our favorite subgenre of horror is ghosts so that is what we are doing the whole month here on the pod - with a couple bonus episodes in there for you too! But first we take a look at a couple of haunted house movies, starting with Jack Clayton's THE INNOCENTS from 1961. Iconic haunted house imagery that still works like gangbusters aside, this story is made so much more compelling with its unreliable main characters and the fact that by the end, you're still just not really sure what all has transpired here. Then we talk about a movie that is equally as compelling, the Guillermo del Toro produced and J.A. Bayona directed THE ORPHANAGE from 2007. Is this fairy tale-laden story sad, tragic, bittersweet, or all of these rolled into one at the same time? We had an amazing time talking all horror for the first time in a while on this show and we hope you enjoy this episode and all the other spooky content we have in store for you this month!
