The Bad Dad Horror Podcast
My tween daughter has taken an interest in the horror genre thanks mainly to her obsession with Stranger Things. Given the closure of almost all video stores, we no longer have the ultimate resource of a video store clerk to help guide her on this new path and recommend horror films that she might enjoy. So, I have decided to step in and lead her journey into horror. We start with 1960’s Psycho and discuss a few horror films that we have watched together for each episode. We talk about horror films and their impact on film and society over the years culminating with the question, ”Am I a Bad Dad for doing this?”

Father and daughter duo John and Sierra begin their horror journey with a couple of films from the Master of Suspense himself, Alfred Hitchcock. Will Sierra come to love the black-and-white aesthetic? Will John overcome his fear of Birds? Tune in and find out.
Why Horror?
When I was a kid, video stores were just starting to flourish. They were literally on every corner and inside magical movie aficionados would listen to what you liked and hated and offer suggestions. I can't tell you how many wonderful horror movies I discovered like this. Of course, the flip side is that there was no one there to tell me that I was way too young to watch Faces of Death. Hopefully, Sierra and I can bond over our mutual love of all things that go bump in the night and maybe learn a thing or two along the way.
