What is Children's Horror? And what do kids get out of it? With Halloween's sweet scent still in the air and Christmas inching closer, co-hosts Robert Lendrum and Jamie Roberts take a look at their first PG film, the holiday classic Gremlins and discuss the film as a horror film for kids. What is the 4th rule of the film? Why did they leave that scene in about Kate's dad? Where did Judge Reinhold go??? What were they thinking when they made Inhumanoids? Is Rob's kid possessed? Of course kids love a movie where they watch little green men tear apart a town! Best bar scene ever?The episode references a book by Catherine Lester called  Horror Films for Children: Fear and Pleasure in American Cinema published by Bloomsbury.Consider supporting us on Patreon patreon.com/runningscaredFollow us on Twitter  @runningscaredpdEmail us at: [email protected] us on Instagram @runningscaredpodSupport the showSubscribe to Running Scared Media wherever you get your podcasts for more episodes!

On today's show we speak with Tove Alexanderson, a highly decorated Swedish athlete known for her dominance in orienteering and multiple other endurance sports. Alexanderson discusses her transition from a childhood passion for navigating forests to competing in ski mountaineering and trail running, emphasizing her preference for the training process over the stress of competition. We discuss versatility as she prepares for Olympic qualification while shifting her focus toward mountain-based races to avoid the trend of urban course designs. She shares insights into her self-coached training regimen and her deep-seated love for the outdoors, which she views as a "dream life" rather than a series of sacrifices. Follow Tove on Instagram @tovealexanderssonRead the full transcript in English and Swedish hereSupport the showSubscribe to Running Scared Media wherever you get your podcasts for more episodes!

Pulled one from the vault for a little holiday bonus. We may do this from time to time. Happy Holidays from the Running Scared team of Robert Lendrum and Jamie Roberts. To get you in the festive spirit, we're reviewing a Canadian cult classic Black Christmas (1974). Although made on a small budget, it features some big Canadian acting talent and several key innovations for the genre of horror. That being said, is this a comedy or a cop movie? A genre bending art film or a cop out? What Benny HIll skit is Mrs. Mac from? Is Mr. Harrison the worst father on the planet?
