## Resource

We're taking a train going to the bowels of hell - or perhaps just the city underbelly - in our Bobbing for Barker episode about The Midnight Meat Train ! While this one's just based on a short story by Clive Barker, we discuss the ways this one feels very 2000s torture porn - its sterile aesthetic and lighting, to its shiny meat hammer wielded by the villain, to director Ryuhei Kitamura's flashier action flair. We're also drinking Ommegang's Fest Bier marzen style lager on the show! Tune in all Halloween season for more Bobbing for Barker!
