My Bloody Valentine (1981)

Happy Harry Warden Day to all who celebrate! In this edition, we get Valentine Bluffs-pilled and prepare to move to a remote mining town obsessed with Valentine’s Day. Plus, we play another round of “Would We Even Have Horror Movies If Men Would Just Get Therapy.” Thank you all for being our precious Valentines!

The Love Witch

CW This episode has mentions of self harm, suicide, and sexual assault. A visual stunner and a conceptual “huh, why?” all in one! We’re covering the Love Witch, a drop dead gorgeous movie that really wanted to subvert traditional gender roles and we really wanted it to shut up about it already. We’ll get into it all, and more!

Frozen (2010)

Even though climate apocalypse is upon us and it’s 60 degrees in January, we’re celebrating winter with a chillingly stupid horror flick from grade-a ding dong, Adam Green; Frozen! You won’t find Anna and Elsa in this movie, but there are unrealistic wolf attacks, a strong misogynistic undercurrent, and a Kirkland brand Zac Efron.

Black Christmas (2019)

this episode has a cw for SA Happy holidays you ho ho hos! This week, we continue our time honored tradition of covering a version of Black Christmas each holiday season. We have made it to 2019, which means someone else needs to remake Black Christmas before next year. Enjoy, and all the warmest wishes!

Psycho (1960)

Abby and Rebecca are back to chat about Hitchcock’s Psycho, along with our burgeoning fixation on cutie pie Anthony Perkins. Plus, we discuss all the ways Marion Crane could have been a more effective thief!

#Alive

**This ep has a cw for suicide and self harm Be warned - we have access to JSTOR again so it’s OVER for you bitches. This week, we’re chatting about Korean zombie flick #Alive, set in a Rear Window-esque apartment setup but with flesh eating. It’s sad, funny, gross, and SSC approved!

Fright Night (2011)

This week Abby and Rebecca cackle over Fright Night (2011). There are discussions of vampiric lore, boring female characters, and lots and lots of I,Tonya talk. Can you film a vampire? Let’s find out!

Pan’s Labyrinth

This bi-week(ish), Abby and Rebecca are discussing Pan’s Labyrinth! Join us as we break down more shit we don’t understand (the Spanish Civil War) and imagine a world where men get therapy.

The Blair Witch Project

We’re back to decimate another beloved horror staple with the Blair Witch Project! Despite antagonist Heather’s professed desire to “avoid cheese”, it is SO cheesy and cringe, but then we also end up drawing parallels with snuff films so who even knows what’s going on. But, as usual, the filmmakers definitely hate women!

Insidious

Wan and Whannell are making another appearance on the Cast with Insidious! This movie finds Rose Byrne playing a weird simpering housewife in some very frumpy floral tops, cementing our opinion that James Wan really hates women. Plus: our angelic genre hero Lin Shaye and the Darth Maul demon!

Coraline

It’s our first ever animated movie! Also please forgive Abby’s almost unlistenable audio in the first half - she is an elder millennial and doesn’t know how to use her computer! This week, we’re talking Coraline. It’s an enchanting and stunning feat of stop-motion animation, but unfortunately we’ve got a mommy complex, people! Plus, fat women as punchlines, the tokenization of black and brown characters, and a dancing mouse circus. Listen now!

The Night House

Even Rebecca Hall can’t save this stinker, and maybe we don’t even like Rebecca Hall anymore BECAUSE of this stinker. The Night House follows Beth as she tries to unravel the supernatural mystery of why her husband unalived himself on a gently rocking rowboat. Spoiler alert: many unnamed brunette women end up as collateral damage in this absolute dirge of a movie. Join us along this ride!

Gothic (1986)

This week Abby and Rebecca walk through the fever dream that is 1986’s Gothic. We follow Mary Godwin (later Shelley), Percy Shelley, and Claire Claremont as they arrive at Lord Byron’s castle. They drink a lot of laudanum, interact with leeches, and sort of have orgies. After this haunted summer, Mary Shelley would write Frankenstein and Polidori Vampyr. Two better stories but instead we have to watch Lord Byron abuse people.

Little Monsters (2019)

In Little Monsters, Lupita Nyong’o plays a kindergarten teacher tasked with keeping her class safe and happy while also taking on the emotional labor of the men she’s stuck with during a zombie attack. She is perfect as usual and for the most part, this little horror-comedy slaps, but there is weird ableism and some serious racism that cannot be excused. Listen to Abby and Rebecca rant, rave, and McGiggle!

Interview with the Vampire

Neil Jordan’s 1994 adaptation of Anne Rice’s blood-sucking epic Interview with the Vampire has it all. It’s a story of love, betrayal, overt racism, and subtle and not-so-subtle ped0philia. We discuss all this, plus does Brad Pitt have personal hygiene issues? Allegedly.
