Fear Coded

Attention Flan-a-fans and victorian ghost children! We don't lose ourselves or get trapped in a gravity well for ghosts while talking about the 2020 series, The Haunting of Bly Manor, and its thrilling and queer conclusion episode "The Beast in the Jungle." We may not end up ghosts forever, but we do talk about Sinjin traps, cute 90s lesbian romance AU, and weirdly prescient plague doctor ghosts. We also all three are afraid of heat (the one that means spices, the one that is a temperature, and the one that is water which creates devastating tropical storms)!

Start your showers and follow us closely (like a certain graduate of the Bob Hoskins School of Stout Handsome Gentleman, Arbogast) as we go back to one of the foundational films for the horror genre: Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 film, Psycho.

We all go a little mad sometimes, but along the way, we talk about the real villains of housing markets, toxic masculinity, and 1960s homophobia.

You think we're fruity, do you?! Well you don't even know the half of it!

Heat up your unidentifiable bowls of porridge, knock your cousin off a treehouse, and LET US IN to talk about the 2014 film The Babadook. Has this always been a queer hero, or was that status only the result of clerical error? We'll be talking the man, the meme, and all the creepy crawlies that lie beneath that stylish hat.

Who are we? How did we get here? What do we think of horror? And most importantly: does a cilantro aversion and roller coaster predilection have a relationship with how big of a scaredy cat you are?

Find out the answer to all of these questions, and others with this introductory episode of the podcast. Each co-host gets a chance to tell you our journey and then we go all Randy Meeks on setting up the rules for the podcast by talking about the horror genre and queer theory.
