Wrapping up November’s theme of Dysfunctional Families, we’re diving into the chilling world of Sinister (2012). This modern horror favorite brings us a family teetering on the edge as true crime writer Ellison Oswalt moves his wife and kids into a house with a horrifying past—all for the sake of his career.

In this week’s episode of Eras of Horror, we explore how Ellison’s obsession tears his family apart, uncover the sinister force pulling the strings, and discuss the film’s masterful use of tension. From its unsettling home movies to one of the most terrifying entities in modern horror, we dissect why Sinister leaves such a lasting impression. Join us for our final dysfunctional family tale as we give our thoughts, highlight the scariest moments, and rate this haunting entry in the genre.
