Little Shop Of Horrors

Carrie

Spooky Thirties

We're back, and we're headed to the prom! Stella Cheeks begins the second season of her bloody journey through horror film and life with a familair guest, as Erin Cline returns to discuss Carrie (and Carrie) with us! How much of this book did Stephen King really write? Can any male director make a good movie about women with powers? Have we lost all sense of format and episode lenght? The answers may make you see RED. Editors notes: -At some point Bobby says "Dreamcatchers" when he may have meant "The Dead Zone." Future Bobby would not let this Stand. -Stell is no longer on twitter!...

Phantasm

Spooky Thirties

PLEASE NOTE: Stella's deep dislike of Phantasm seemed to have cursed her mic so the audio quality sounds like it's coming from another dimension. Consider it a bad director's choice, like the choice to make Phantasm 5. --- Sentinal spears are chasing Stella Cheeks and her special guest Jolene through a graveyard of dreams with nothing but a quadruple-barrled shot gun and a frisbee full of razor blades. Join them as they break down the "classic" horror series franchise Phantasm and try to answer the age-old question of "is this good bad or is this bad-bad." Find the readings we mentioned...

It's the Evil Dead way! Find the readings we mentioned here: https://tinyurl.com/bdj6au69

Scream

Spooky Thirties

Stella Cheeks and special guest Jenna Dalgety tackle the Scream franchise. When does meta get too meta? And when is too meta the point?

Re-Animator

Spooky Thirties

Stella Cheeks and special guest Rosemary Maybe literally cannot help but turn this horror podcast into a shipping podcast. Join them as they break down this 80s cult classic (and the subsequent sequel...there was definitely only one) in the only way two feral fandom queers can!

The Thing

Spooky Thirties

Stella Cheeks and special guest (and producer) Bobby Hoffman have been friends for years, and as such, he knew precisely what horror movie would push Stella to the limit!
