SHRINK CHAT: Dracula, Iron Lung and The Bride

SHRINK CHAT: Dracula, Iron Lung and The Bride

Author: Shannon & Cathy | Terror Talk March 19, 2026 Duration: 51:15

What do a centuries-old vampire, a polio-era nightmare and a monster's bride have in common? Shannon and Cathy have opinions.

Shrink Chat is where two psychologists get gloriously off-script. This episode Shannon and Cathy dig into their latest horror movie, series and book reviews, including Dracula, Iron Lung and The Bride, plus trivia, highlight games and the general jackassery you come here for.

No serial killers this week. Just horror, laughs and two PhDs with too many feelings about monsters.

Until then... sleep safe. 😴

Ever find yourself wondering what really makes a terrifying film tick, or what twisted logic might run through a real predator's mind? That's the unique space where Terror Talk-Horror Movies, Psychopaths and Humor lives. Hosted by therapists Shannon and Cathy, this podcast brings an unexpected and insightful lens to the things that go bump in the night, both in reality and on the silver screen.

Each episode feels like a conversation with two friends who are deeply knowledgeable about the darkest corners of human nature and pop culture, breaking down the myths and media portrayals that shape our understanding of horror. This isn't just a rundown of scary stories; it's a thoughtful exploration of why we're drawn to them, packed with surprising takes and a genuine sense of community for anyone obsessed with the genre. Tune in for a smart, engaging, and occasionally funny journey into horror, both real and fictional.
