In Fear Not!, critic Josh Larsen makes the case that monster movies, creature features, slashers, and other fright films artfully reflect our deep worries in a way that resonates with the Christian experience. Combining critical observation and theological reflection, Larsen devotes each chapter to a different horror subgenre, connecting that subgenre to a commonly shared fear.

Fear Not! with Josh Larsen

42:40 IN A VIOLENT NATURE

Edit: Brett mentioned that Chris Nash, director of In a Violent Nature, did the effects on Psycho Goreman but forgot to mention PG director Steven Kostanski did the effects on Violent Nature!

On this week's regularly-scheduled and actually-released-on-time episode of the New Flesh podcast with Brett & Jesse, A.V. Club alum A.A. Dowd returns to discuss IN A VIOLENT NATURE, the subversive new slasher movie now in theaters via IFC/Shudder, and also ask important questions about the hashtag horror lifestyle.

It will eventually wind up on Shudder, but will enjoy both a theatrical release and probably PVOD release first. 

Before that main event, plenty of horror news, which will be summarized at the bottom of this description.

The latest Patreon episode is from a couple weeks ago: 4 movies discussed including the new Guy Ritchie, the new Zack Snyder, Challengers and THE FALL GUY! We actually did it!

New one coming soon, we promise

Greeting Earthlings, this is your Master Of Ceremonies with another Halloween track for you unfortunate viewers and listeners out there to be creeped out about! This is track #3 for October 2025. This one is about psycho's and crazy blood-thirsty murderers ready to chop you up into little pieces when they snap!(😂🎃😂). **NO A.I. USED IN SONG OR VIDEO EVER!!**

VIDEO - https://youtu.be/x61N_vOzeX0 {Viewere Discretion Advised!}

The video is a little gruesome, so beware my viewers! I tried to write it from a demented killer's point of view! Make sure you hold on tight to your Teddy's and keep the lights on while watching! (ha,ha,ha,ha!). You never know when an unhinged psycho will creep up behind you! 
     I worked really hard on this song and video and Charlie sang it perfectly! I wrote it in 2019 just before the pandemic hit,  around Thanksgiving of that year. I really like this one but I think it needs a bit more Cowbell!😂 I tried to make the video into a mini-slasher film and I spent a couple of weeks on it and storyboarded it and everything! I think it's one my best Halloween videos so far! Definitely NOT a love song! 
     In these days it seems we're all a bit unhinged with everything that's going on and the government being shut-down and all the hatred and death around the world and A.I. breathing down out necks!  When I wrote this song I had Alice Cooper in mind, the king of Shock Rock!! He may be too old already but I think he's still kicking! 🎃 Well, I bid you all a fond farewell and have a good night and don't let the bed bugs bite! More fiendish fun songs & videos to come until this Halloween is upon us! Make sure to sleep with one eye open at all times! 😂 Take care and stay safe!🙏🎃✌🏼

“UNHINGED!”

SOMETIMES I FEEL UNHINGED,   
CAN’T CATCH MY BREATH,     
DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO,      
TRAPPED LIKE A RAT IN A CAGE,                   
LOSING MY MIND,     
SLOWLY COMING UNGLUED,     
NOBODY GAVE A CRAP, NOBODY GAVE A DAMN,     
THIS ANGRY BOY BECAME AN ANGRY MAN!   
OOH, OOH,
    
SOMETIMES I WANT TO KILL,    
DESTROY THE WORLD,     
INFLICT GREAT PAIN,     
LIFE IS A BITTER PILL,         
BLOODY BUTCHER’S KNIFE,      
BURNING ACID RAIN,     
NOBODY SEEMS TO CARE, ONE WAY OR ANOTHER,     
WHY KILL YOURSELF WHEN YOU CAN KILL YOUR BROTHER!       
OOH, OOH,

MY TORTURED TWISTED MIND,          
RIDDLED WITH HATE,          
HAS MADE ME BLIND, OH YEAH,             
MY LACK OF EMPATHY,          
HAS LIT A FIRE,           
DEEP UNDER ME, OH YEAH,

SOMETIMES I FEEL UNHINGED,     
DREAM OF SUDDEN DEATH,     
SENSE ALL HOPE IS GONE,      
IT FESTERS IN MY BRAIN,     
UNDERNEATH MY SKIN,      
UNTIL I DON’T BELONG,      
NOBODY BATS AN EYE, NOBODY GIVES A HOOT,     
I FEEL LIKE A RATTLESNAKE UNDER A COWBOY’S BOOT,     
OOH, OOH, OOH, OOH, OOH, OOH, OOH, OOH.

Episode 1027: Night of the Reaper

**I NEVER USE A.I. IN ANY OF MY SONGS OR VIDEOS!** Hi everybody, my name is Jim and I’m a songwriter, I've written over 300 songs, I play guitar, bass, piano, and am an okay lyricist.  I play all types of music and have my own recording studio.  I use no A.I. or DAW or any computers to make my songs or my videos, all the instruments are played by me live on a multitrack studio recorder and Charlie, my vocalist, sings most of my songs and also plays the Harmonica on several tracks. I use video clips from Motion Array or Pexals or Pixabay for my videos. I'm not a pro or a great musician but I do what I can with the tools that I have! I belong to the "Keep Humans In Music Movement" (KHMM)! We're NOT perfect but we're REAL! Thanks everyone for listening and the world needs more music now, real music made by HUMANS not MACHINES! So let's all sing a song with our own voices, please! I do not consent to any of my songs or videos being used or sampled or lifted in any way or fashion. Take care!👍😎✌🏼.
