The Black Phone 1 & 2: Did Horror Just Create a New Icon?

The ringing phone isn’t just a horror device. It’s a lifeline.

In this episode of Parallel Frequencies with Just Blane & Coco, we break down The Black Phone and The Black Phone 2, exploring why Ethan Hawke’s performance as The Grabber may have officially entered horror legend territory. From the minimalist analog terror of a disconnected rotary phone to the emotional depth of trauma, resilience, and redemption, this conversation goes far beyond surface-level movie review.

We unpack Gwen’s psychic abilities, Finney’s trauma arc, the symbolism of the mask, the snowed-in isolation trope, and the powerful tension between religion and spirituality in horror storytelling. Is this franchise the next Freddy or Michael Myers? Or is it something even more psychologically layered?

If you love horror analysis, deeper meaning in film, and bold conversations about culture, trauma, and storytelling, this one is for you.
