For our second show we are taking a deep dive into all things viral and bacterial, as Deadly Doses looks to the origins of the contagion narrative and ask why its such a pervasive trope within the horror genre. From the Black Plague to STD's, we examine the allure of viral films and what it is about them that makes us squirm with delight.
A massive thanks to the production team and special thanks to Sean Doyle, Emmett Cleary and Paul Cooke.

Seventh Seal (dir. Ingmar Bergman, 1957 )
