We are back for a mini-episode to share our thoughts on the new release "The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It". Join us as we try not to deep dive (although Ketchum can't seem to help herself..) and give our first impressions of how we felt about this new film from director Michael Chaves and producer James Wan. The Conjuring series follows popular cases of paranormal psychic investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren.

In honor of Women In Horror Month we will be discussing the most important female director you’ve never heard of: Alice Guy-Blaché. It is believed she was the first person ever to create a horror film (back in the early 1900’s) and has a long list of filmmaking accomplishments that deserve to be known. Alice has had a significant impact on cinema ranging from creating the first narrative film, experimenting with effects, adding sound to film, as well as encouraging actors to “be natural” during the silent era of theatrical and over exaggerated acting. She was a pioneer who spent the last half of her life fighting for recognition in an industry that largely forgot her. 

Check out the new documentary about her directed by Pamela B. Green and narrated by Jodie Foster:
