For this Halloween episode of The Physical Cut, I’m joined by Jenny from the Crypt for a conversation about growing up with horror in Spain, discovering Spanish horror cinema, and finding community through a genre that has always made room for the weird and misunderstood.

We talk about women’s perspectives in horror, neurodivergence and the characters who challenge expectations, the difference between mainstream horror and the films that stay with us, and why supporting women in the horror community matters. Jenny also shares some of her favorite Spanish horror discoveries, from [REC] to Who Can Kill a Child? and The Wait, alongside the personal memories that shaped her love of the genre.

Plus, we discuss Halloween favorites, underrated horror gems, the movies that genuinely scare us, and what Scream means to horror fans who grew up outside the United States as we celebrate its 30th anniversary.

In this episode:

• Growing up with horror in Spain and discovering Spanish horror cinema
• Women in horror, representation, and challenging genre stereotypes
• How horror connects with neurodivergence and feeling like an outsider
• Spanish horror recommendations, from [REC] to Who Can Kill a Child?
• Collecting horror and the personal memories attached to physical media
• Halloween favorites, underrated films, and the movies that still scare us
• Celebrating 30 years of Scream and its impact on horror fandom
