ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Episode Description - Host: Mo Moshaty
This short episode explores the why and creation of From Inside the House, a podcast that reclaims the narratives of women’s trauma in horror, turning them from exploited tropes into powerful reflections of survival and strength. We delve into the weight women characters carry in shaping horror culture, bridging academic analysis, personal experience, and fandom. Through horror, we examine trauma, celebrate resilience, and challenge how women’s stories are told on-screen and in reality.
Show Description - From Inside the House Podcast dives into key characters’ stories, & the traumas they reflect, from the Possessed, the Vengeful, the Grief-stricken, the Hysterical, & the Objectified. By exploring these portrayals, we aim to spotlight how horror can mirror real-life societal fears for women.
