Kim and T. wrap up their chat about Horror and where it fit in with their experience with the muse...

In Part 2 of All Things Horror, Kim and T. chat about some of their most memorable experiences and lasting influences with the horror genre in movies, tv, comics and more...

Kim and T. are back after a short break to take on the "beast" as they delve into all things horror-related in the first part of a three parter devoted horror in the 80s.

They symbolize something important and meaningful, or infamous. They are to be admired, and they disappoint. Kim and T. talk 80s cultural icons. The good, bad and ugly. Animal, vegetable and mineral.

What was that feeling? So unsettling, so unnerving. Perhaps the first glimpse of where the creative muse will take you. Was it an earthquake? No, just teen angst. 

Kim and T. have touched on the angst in nearly every episode so far. This time, they talk about how 80s pop culture, particularly movies, contributed to how teens identified with it. 

“I liked my books and clouds and sunsets.”

How do you get to the core of the teenage experience in all its insecurity, fear and wonder. Maybe the only sincere way is that it be written by a teenager. Kim and T. discuss the book, and film, The Outsiders. Another piece to the puzzle that is The Muse.

The soundtracks for their teenage years were filled with deep, rich, diverse and numerous songs covering several genres. Considering the influences that ranged from hip hop to punk rock and everything in between, Kim and T. attempt to narrow it down to one band for each of them that played a significant role in their individual journeys toward the creative muse. 

Arcade games, pizza, groups of teenagers hanging, deep philosophical talks against a brick wall,  hatchbacks and road freedom. Kim and T. talk about the first hangouts, and their first cars. So put the key in the ignition, pop the cassette tape in the deck and let’s get started.
