MO’JO Ep. 2: Exploring the Dark Side of Horror with Isaac Ezban
In the second episode of MO’JO, our new podcast series from WatchMojo, we dive deep into the eerie underbelly of the horror genre. Joined by acclaimed Mexican director and writer Isaac Ezban, we navigate the fascinating evolution of horror, dissect the concept of “Elevated Horror,” and unpack what it takes to adapt the legendary works of Stephen King.
As horror takes on new shapes and forms, we explore what the current landscape looks like. Is it merely a revival of classic tropes, or is it pushing boundaries in ways that resonate with contemporary audiences? Ezban lends his unique perspective, shedding light on how horror can be both entertaining and thought-provoking.
Our discussion doesn’t shy away from the unsettling topic of artificial intelligence. How does AI factor into the horror narrative, and what does it mean for future storytelling? With technology rapidly advancing, we examine the chilling implications and potential narratives that may arise.
Of course, a focal point of our conversation is King himself. As a master of suspense and fear, adapting his stories comes with immense responsibility and creative challenges. Ezban shares insights into his own journey in bringing these timeless tales to life, offering tips and anecdotes for aspiring filmmakers looking to step into the world of horror.
Join us for this engaging episode that promises to thrill, provoke thought, and encourage fans of the genre to look at horror through a new lens. Whether you’re a longtime aficionado or a curious newcomer, this discussion is a must-watch!
