When Horror Isn’t Enough: Where Do We Go Next?

When you've watched enough horror, what happens when the scares stop working?

In this episode, I look at my relationship with horror, the endless chase for something darker, nastier or more unsettling, and the point where gore and jump scares just aren't enough anymore.

From slashers and extreme horror to psychological dread, uncomfortable storytelling and the films that actually stay with us. I'm asking, where does horror go next - and what are we really looking for when we keep pushing for more?

Based on my Riff & Respawn article When Horror Isn’t Enough: Where Do We Go Next?
