[Podcast] Knight Light: A Horror Movie Podcast Begins A New Month With ‘The Thing’
Somebody in this camp ain’t what he appears to be.
Knight Light: A Horror Movie Podcast begins a new month with films that star creatures out of this world in their Creature Feature month! They are kicking things off with John Carpenter’s The Thing!
The Thing follows a research team, MacReady (Kurt Russell), Childs (Keith David), Dr. Blair (Wilford Brimley), and Nauls (T.K. Carter), to name a few, in Antarctica who are hunted by a shape-shifting alien that starts transforming into members of the crew. Come on this trip with us while we discuss this practical effects masterpiece!
Since it is a new month, we also have an interview episode with The Untold Hour’s Andrew Bowser!
Knight Light: A Horror Movie Podcast is available anywhere you consume your podcasts. A new episode is released (usually) every Friday on all podcast services and every Monday on our Patreon. Feel free to use linktr.ee/KnightLight and choose where you would like to listen to our embedded show.

Ableism, Representation, and Perverse Sexuality in ‘Wait Until Dark’ [Horror Queers Podcast]
After concluding April with discussions of Ciarán Foy’s Eli (listen) and David Cronenberg’s eXistenZ (listen), we kicked off May with a revisit of Stephen Sommers’ delightful 1999 film, The Mummy (listen).
Now we’re headed into the past with Terence Young‘s adaptation of Frederick Knott‘s “disabled woman in danger” play, Wait Until Dark (1967).
In the film, recently blind Susy (Audrey Hepburn) is menaced by a trio of strange men, including sexually perverse ring leader Roat (Alan Arkin), “nice guy” Talman (Richard Crenna) and portly Carlino (Jack Weston). The men are looking for a doll full of heroin, which is located somewhere in her apartment, but she doesn’t know where!
Can Susy figure out the scam with the help of upstairs neighbor girl Gloria (Julie Herrod) or will she wind up hanging in the closet like Roat’s poor accomplice Lisa (Samantha Jones)?

Episode 281: Wait Until Dark (1967) feat. Ariel Baska
Smash all the lights and strike a match because we’re talking about disability horror, Audrey Hepburn and Wait Until Dark (1967).
Joining us for the conversation is disability documentary filmmaker Ariel Baska, who has a love/hate relationship with the film and its contribution to “cripping up.”
Plus: that famous jump scare, accusations of misogyny and ableism, the gross history of “Ugly Laws,” and the return of Trace’s recurring joke about Charade.
Cross out Wait Until Dark!
Coming up on Wednesday: We’re going into genre-adjacent territory with a look at Gregg Araki’s horrifying adaptation of Scott Heim’s novel, Mysterious Skin.
