Writer and horror academic Dr. Alison Peirse returns to the pod to talk about the under-seen teen slasher starring Brittany Murphy, Cherry Falls (2000). We touch on how it upends slasher tropes with a killer that targets virgins, its troubled production history, the fashion and fringe choices (a lot of pleather) and its indirect influence on Malignant.

Horror fan Ally Penelope returns to talk about her love for Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998), especially the LL Cool J subplot, and we tackle the surprisingly empathetic story of The Rage: Carrie 2 (1999), which works if you take the Carrie bits out.

Our first episode of 2022 is a take on two... questionable bangers.

It's the end of the year! 

Horror writer, film analyst and co-host of This Ends At Prom podcast BJ Colangelo joins the podcast for the first time to go deep on Disturbing Behaviour (1998). The second part of the episode is a reprise from our FEMALE MONSTERS series, film critic Leila Latif's take on The Faculty (1998). Between these two films, it's the most nineties teen casting ever. 

Produced and presented by Anna Bogutskaya

A bonus episode interview with the author of The Last House on Needless Street, Catriona Ward. 

Praised by Stephen King, her latest novel has been called the Gothic Masterpiece of 2021. 

This is the story of a murderer. A stolen child. Revenge. This is the story of Ted, who lives with his daughter Lauren and his cat Olivia in an ordinary house at the end of an ordinary street.

We discuss Catriona's love of horror, the process of writing horror, serial killers and their pets, Stephen King's endorsement of her book, the gothic novel and what it takes to write from the POV of a cat. 

There will be spoilers for the book in the second part of the interview but these are clearly signalled. 

The House on Needless Street is out now in the UK.

A bonus exclusive interview with Julia Ducournau, writer/director of Raw, about her new film Titane, out in UK cinemas now.

We talk about female violence, about choreographing a massacre, dance horror, and about the mythological and Biblical influences in Titane.

Beware, this interview is SPOILERIFIC. 

Produced and presented by Anna Bogutskaya
