You can check out a list of horror movies with disabled characters or themes that I compiled over on Letterboxd. With over 100 films on there, it continues to grow–feel free to suggest additions or pick one that you would like to cover as a guest on the show!

    Such a rich topic, and one which will shape my experience viewing horror films. Glad to learn about the home video editions doing subtitles well as I am hard-of-hearing and been left behind by crummy (or absent!) subtitles.
