In this episode ofĀ Byte on Horror, Tony dives into three distinct corners of the genre universeāaudio fiction, folk magic, and extraterrestrial terrorāto explore how creators are reinventing horror across platforms.
We begin with a look atĀ The Monsters We Defy, an audio horror series that blends supernatural folklore with deeply human stakes. Tony breaks down how the show uses sound to conjure dread, intimacy, and worldābuilding that feels tactile and alive. From whispered hauntings to mythic confrontations, this segment explores why audio remains one of the most potent mediums for horror storytelling.
Next, Tony turns toĀ The Old Ways, a project steeped in witchcraft, ritual practice, and the lingering presence of old magic. This segment examines how the series draws from real traditions while crafting a cinematic, unsettling atmosphere. Tony unpacks the showās approach to cultural specificity, spiritual authenticity, and the timeless fear of forces olderāand wiserāthan we are.
Finally, Tony sits down withĀ Keith Arem, the former video game director whose transition into filmmaking has produced one of the most intriguing UFO thrillers in recent years. His filmĀ The Phoenix IncidentĀ is inspired by a realāworld mass sighting, and Tony digs into how Arem blends documentary texture, interactive sensibilities, and cinematic tension to reimagine the UFO narrative for a new generation.
