You opened the puzzle box and you summoned us. We came with this new episode featuring guest Cass Proffitt (Distant Echoes) to talk Hellraiser from 1987 written and directed by Clive Barker.
We have such sights to show you as we protect ourselves with squishy stuffed animals, enjoy repulsive glamor, combat toxic masculinity, and support sex workers in this seminal horror piece. Jesus may have wept, but hopefully you will have a pleasurable/painful time listening to all the ways this movie is queer.
Dang, everyone is gooey and wet (again).
Note: yes, there is some weird clicking audio in the background sometimes, but it's because the Chatterer was our special guest in the background. Sorry about it.

Trick or treat you ghosts and ghosties! We have a king-sized candy bar of a bonus episode for each of you as we answer the many questions you all sent in all month long.
We talk about some truly exceptional media on this one, so to help with "did they just reference that?" we have made a Letterboxd list of every film we mention or make reference to (even if it is a passing reference): Fear Coded Q&A Film References. Dozens of other references to comics, television, video games, and even a stray opera will be up to you to listen and find!
Of course, we couldn't do it without all of you wonderful fans who sent in questions! Thank you to:
Hello, listener! Prepare yourself a Randy sandwich and get ready for a review of the rules you need to survive a horror movie podcast as we invite our first guest, Derek B. Gayle (Walloping Websnappers, Gimmicks, Falling with Style, Skreeonk!, Lee Carvallo's Podding Challenge) to talk about the referential masterpiece Scream from 1996 directed by horror legend Wes Craven and written by Kevin Williamson.
Is Sidney's father a crime boss? What is happening with these wigs? Who would win in a face off of Ghostface and an ottoman? Get the answers to all of these questions and more as we talk about this very important entry in the modern history of horror and slashers.
Dang, everyone is gooey and wet.

Listen to "The Raven" by Christopher Walken, Christoper Lee, Fergus Ross Ferrier, or as performed on The Simpsons with the late James Earl Jones
We dodge the Hays Code while proclaiming that we are divine as we roll back to talk about one of the classics, the 1931 film by James Whale, Frankenstein. Names get changed, brains get zippy zapped, and heads get bonked as we talk about this original monster movie. We will answer the hard questions! Who is Frankenstein? Why do queers betray each other? Is science gay?
In the end, the conversation is alive, it's alive, it's alive!

You're traveling through another dimension - a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrously queer land whose heteronormative boundaries are made to be broken by your imagination. That's a signpost up ahead. It reads, your next stop: Fear Coded covering the anthology television series by Rod Serling, The Twilight Zone!
In particular, we take a queer reading of two episodes, "The Monsters are Due on Maple Street" and "Five Characters in Search of an Exit." We talk about how NextDoor in the modern day mob mentality, the unease associated with clowns and bagpipers, and take a detour to the fertile fields of Stardew Valley.
Note: David erroneously identifies anthropologist Robin Dunbar as deceased, stupidly believing that any thought leader he learned about in school must be long dead, but Dr. Dunbar is alive and indeed is publishing about how social media continues to reflect his work around how our poor little brains just weren't designed to know so many people. You can read more about his work in his recent text Friends: Understanding the Power of our Most Important Relationships from 2021.

We are watching X-Files with no lights on (I hope the Smoking Man's in this one) as we simulate walking through our return home in the 2013 video game Gone Home by The Fullbright Company. We hunt ghosts with our girlfriend and adorn our lockers with starlets exclusively covered on The Mixed Reviews podcast as we walk into not just a horror story, but a love story, and the most zine-filled of all the decades: the 1990s.
It's Steggy? Stelly? It's Steggy.

At the crossroads of high camp and arthouse, we find ourselves in the basement bedroom discussing the 2000 film by John Fawcett, Ginger Snaps. Take a big bite of your syrupy shortcake, iron your field hockey uniform, and track your cycle as we answer the question on everyone's minds: what is scarier? A werewolf? Or puberty?

We just cannot fight this feeling anymore, so wax your mustaches, build some expensive Lego sets, and fill yourself with canned fish derivative recipes as we talk about the 2024 (but very much 80s throwback) film, Lisa Frankenstein by Zelda Williams. We hold faux goth bullies accountable while going full tilt into early 1990s Hot Topic, thinking about the Hamburglar, and pitching a new Fox reality show, The Masked Axe Killer.
Warning! This episode somehow contains spoilers for the 2007 Pixar film, Ratatouille.
