Fear Feasts

Now what would you do if your birth mother, a recovering drug addict, asked you to come live with her when you were a teenager and you went? What would you do if you and your bestie went into a haunted house and he got dragged away by something you couldn't see? What if your birth mother made a carrot and coriander soup that held a tooth? Would you keep eating, just checking your own dental work along the way, or would you start to seriously wonder if that same creepy force that took your bestie away was somehow at work? What if you found out that a Russian legend about a witch called Baba Yaga was what was haunting you? Would you try to fight it or would you decide to make some Russian borscht instead? We will discuss these terrifyingly tasty questions and analyze the connection between food and horror in 2016's creepy film Don't Knock Twice, so please join us.

A scarily scrumptious taste of our next episode!

For this bonus episode, Allie and Vanessa are guests of the Comfortably Hungry podcast hosted by Sam Bilton. Roald Dahl’s second children’s book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory celebrates its 60th birthday this year and together they dig into the wicked side of chocolate and how this is represented in Dahl’s book and its movie adaptations. With chocolate as their guide, Sam, Vanessa and Allie dissect the nuances of Dahl's narrative and its various cinematic adaptations. From Gene Wilder's iconic portrayal to Tim Burton's fantastical reimagination, discover how each rendition captures the essence of Dahl's mischievous use of food.

Being a teenager is hard enough, between smartphones, social media pressure, and that damn witch that haunts your hometown. And then when your bestie's mom is the town butcher and keeps selling her creepy pâté, and she worships the witch, it makes it so much worse. We're talking growing pains, technology, witchcraft, pea soup with meatballs, breasts, mob mentality, that awful pâté, Chinese take-out food and family meals, and more breasts, so join us as we analyze the connection between food and horror in Thomas Olde Heuvelt's bizarrely creepy novel HEX. You may never look at pâté quite the same way ever again.

A delectably disturbing taste of our next episode!

See you in a couple of weeks with a brand-new episode!

What would you do if you were stuck on a miserable homestead in the middle of the deep, scary forest with only your religious and mean mother, your God-fearing and totally inept father, your sex-obsessed younger brother, your bratty twin siblings that were constantly talking to the pet goat, the baby that would not stop eating, and a witch hiding somewhere in the woods? What if your miserable father couldn't hunt food to save his life or couldn't work the farm to get corn to grow, and your family were starving? What if your mother left you in charge of the family baby and the baby mysteriously disappeared? What if your lustful brother was taken by the witch and left to vomit up really disgusting apples? What if the goat, named Black Peter, asked if you wanted to taste butter and live deliciously, after you were continually accused of being a witch yourself? You'd surely go for it, right? We're discussing these appetizingly apprehensive questions as we analyze the connection between food and horror in the 2015 film The Witch, so grab an apple and your broom and join us!

An anxiously appetizing taste of next week's episode.

What would you do if your dear Grandmother was constantly warning you about witches? What would you do if you and Grandmother went on holiday by the English seaside in a fancy hotel complete with seafood, chocolate bars, strawberries and cream, roast lamb, and candy? What would you do if you started to notice odd women with gloves, wigs and eyes that sparkled with weird purple lights offering chocolate to children in the hotel? What if the Grand High Witch of England caught you and turned you into a scampering rodent? Would you grin and bear it and spend the rest of your life eating cheese, avoiding mousetraps and sneaking around floorboards? Or would you fight back, enlist the help of Grandmother, and poison the green-pea soup intended for the witch's supper? We're talking about Roald Dahl's classic novel The Witches and the two film versions as we analyze the connection between food and horror so please join us. Just grab your wig and candy bars beforehand.
