Movies mentioned in season three, episode 26 of The Letterboxd Show podcast.

We picked up The Black Phone and called in a sinister filmmaker known for raising hell. Writer and director Scott Derrickson talks to hosts Gemma and Slim about growing up at the drive-in, and how his four favorite films (Poltergeist, Suspiria, Carrie and I Saw the Devil) have influenced his filmmaking career.

Plus: that Sinister jump-scare, being too scared to go on ghost hunts, learning about horror films from episodes of Community and The Simpsons, how Poltergeist is Spielberg’s raciest story, why the first act of Suspiria is the best cinema ever made, why the last act of Carrie is the best cinema ever made, the Letterboxd community’s thirst for Ethan Hawke as a serial killer, America’s problem with revenge (and Korea’s answer to it).
