About the show

Sitting in the Dark hunts horror by theme — three films yanked across decades, budgets, and subgenres and dropped into a single triple feature to crack open what these movies are actually doing to us. Chelsea Stardust, Tommy Metz III, Kynan Dias, and Pete Wright do the digging. Part of The Next Reel family.
