David Cronenberg: Master of Body Horror | Influential Horror Directors Finale

David Cronenberg: Master of Body Horror | Influential Horror Directors Finale

Welcome to the season finale of our Influential Horror Director Series! In this episode, we’re diving deep into the strange, squishy, and utterly unforgettable world of David Cronenberg — one of the most influential horror film directors of all time.

From Videodrome to The Fly, Scanners to Crash, Cronenberg carved out an entirely new subgenre: body horror. We’ll talk about the way his films explore transformation, disease, technology, sexuality, and the terrifying ways our own bodies can betray us. Expect discussions of gooey practical effects, his signature psychological underpinnings, and the themes that continue to inspire generations of filmmakers.

But it’s not all academic! We also bring our usual blend of humor and horror-geek enthusiasm. Along the way, you’ll get:

  • Our favorite David Cronenberg movies and why they still hold up

  • Insights into how his themes reshaped horror and sci-fi

  • Memorable Cronenberg quotes and WTF moments

  • Reflections on the entire Influential Director Series (and a tease of what’s next!)

Whether you’re a longtime Cronenberg fan or just body-horror-curious, this is the perfect episode to wrap up the season.
