Episode 104 Taste of Fear w/ Johnny Compton

My Horror Confessional

Welcome, sinners, to another chilling confession in the Confessional. This week, I'm joined by Johnny Compton, author of The Spite House and the forthcoming Devils Kill Devils from Tor Nightfire. We delve into the shadowy world of psychological horror with Hammer Films' "Taste of Fear" (1961), also known as "Scream of Fear."

Prepare to confess your sins of disbelief as we explore the unsettling story of Penny Appleby. Wheelchair-bound and recently returned to her childhood home, Penny finds herself haunted by visions of her deceased father. But are these visions real, or is Penny slowly succumbing to madness?

Join us as we dissect the film's masterful use of paranoia and unreliable narration as well as the chilling performance of Susan Strasberg.

Is Penny truly haunted, or is there a darker secret lurking beneath the surface? Unravel the mystery in this episode of My Horror Confessional.
