In this episode of Byte on Horror, Tony dives into three distinct corners of the genre universe—audio fiction, folk magic, and extraterrestrial terror—to explore how creators are reinventing horror across platforms.
We begin with a look at 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 world‑building 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 to 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 show’s approach to cultural specificity, spiritual authenticity, and the timeless fear of forces older—and wiser—than we are.
Finally, Tony sits down with Keith Arem, the former video game director whose transition into filmmaking has produced one of the most intriguing UFO thrillers in recent years. His film The Phoenix Incident is inspired by a real‑world 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.
