Halloween is fast approaching, and what better way to usher in the season than with horror movies and spooky stories? The latest episode of I Love This, You Should Too — the podcast about sharing the things you like with the people you love — shone a light on the Spanish horror movie The Orphanage (El Orfanato) by J. A. Bayona and short story The Monkey's Paw by W. W. Jacobs.
During each episode co-hosts Indy Randhawa and Samantha Hees introduce each other to movies and other pieces of pop culture that they love in hopes that the other will grow to love it just as much.
With as few spoilers as possible, here's a breakdown of the stories covered in the most recent episode:
The Orphanage follows Belén Rueda as Laura, who returns to her childhood home (an orphanage). After Laura's son Simón, Roger Príncep, goes missing within the enormous house, horror unfolds.
In The Monkey's Paw, first published in 1902, Herbert White is granted three wishes by way of a mysterious monkey's paw. However, as the protagonist quickly discovers, wishes come at a terrible price.
