2.11 - Monster House

Welcome to the third entry of this year’s Forgotten Horror, where the Mikes tackle the scariest type of film there is…a kids’ film!!!

Mike Field and Mike Butler deconstruct (get it?!) the 2006 animated film, Monster House, directed by Gil Kenan and produced by Robert Zemeckis and Steven Spielberg. They’ll go over the role of adults within this film, the unique use of motion capture, and discuss the change in parents’ attitude toward presenting children with content they might find scary.

Listeners beware!!! The scariest thing in this podcast will be the amount of wisdom Mike Field attempts to extoll upon you!!!

So grab some brains and a cup of witches brew, please notice the spiders hanging at the front and rear of the mausoleum, and prepare your soul for Forgotten Horror!!!

About the Podcast

Forgotten Cinema
A podcast about forgotten films that deserve a second chance
Welcome to Forgotten Cinema! Each episode, Mike Field and Mike Butler highlight a film that for a variety of reasons was forgotten by audiences. Whether it be because a more popular movie was released at the same time or the movie simply didn’t catch on with an audience in the its initial run. We’ll discuss what we love about the movie or perhaps don’t love about it and decide whether the movie is worth a revisit.
