Brace yourselves as we peel back the layers of the horror film 'Black Phone'. Get ready to dive into the narrative, meet the characters, and explore the chilling setting, as we guide you through this cinematic, yet flawed tale. Notably, we unravel the unique backstory of the film's writer, Joe Hill, who carries the legacy of the legendary Stephen King.

In this sinister world, we turn our spotlight on the young actors, Madeline McGraw and Mason Thames, whose nuanced performances are worth a shout-out. Travelling back to the 70s in Denver, we unearth the horrifying reality of child abductions during those times, and how seemingly innocuous objects like the dad's van and insect trucks acquire a terrifying significance.

Tune in to our riveting conversation as we dissect the 'Black Phone', and scrutinize the spine-chilling character of the Grabber. Walk with us through the terror-stricken paths of the Grabber's black balloons and the dreaded black phone.

Actress Karissa Lee Staples
