Fear Feasts

Short people got no reason to live, according to songwriter Randy Newman, and in this case. the former owner of the hornily haunted Belasco House takes this concept to the extreme. Four ghost hunters descend upon Belasco House, a/k/a/ Hell House, to prove the existence of the afterlife, and get embroiled in some very smutty, sexy, sleazy, spiritual hijinks, eat some lamb dishes that are in no way foreshadowing for the end, drink a ton of liquor, find an awful lot of crucifixes, and inspect food menus for orgies, as we analyze the connection between food and horror in Richard Matheson's crazy, creepy novel Hell House, and the 1972 film of the same name. Maybe grab a large whiskey and a set of prosthetic legs before, though.

A sinfully supernatural teaser for next week's episode!

Eating disorders are no joke, and when you combine one with a philandering husband, a haunted house, and living in upstate New York in the dead of winter - pun intended - it's no wonder you'd go off food entirely. We discuss the terrors of family dysfunction and eating, memory and fear, the nastiness of protein shakes, the importance of salad when avoiding "real" food, infidelity and Catholicism, and the angelic realms of Emanuel Swedenborg, as we analyze the connection between food and horror in the 2021 film Things Heard and Seen, and the book it's based on, All Things Cease To Appear, so don't forget your ax and that Thanksgiving turkey when you tune in.

A dangerously delicious teaser for next Tuesday's episode.

It's Halloween, Fear Feast listeners, and we couldn't let the day pass us by without paying homage to the ultimate holiday horror film and book - Halloween! Yes, we're taking on that bad boy Michael Myers, his creepy white mask, his weird obsession with young topless women, his love of cookies and milk after murdering his sister, and trying to figure out why spilled butter from popcorn would require a babysitter to strip naked while washing her clothes. Join us as we analyze the connection between food and horror in this bonus episode, and watch out for strange men waving their zucchini at you. Happy Halloween!

As though life isn't hard enough without having to live in a run-down council flat strewn with maggot-ridden pizza boxes, it's made even worse in this case by a witch spirit running round in the walls and scaring the holy hell out of you and your poor spouse. All you want to do is assimilate, eat some good food whether on the rug or at the dining room table, and try to forget the horrors of the war in your home country that forced you to relocate to a place where kids run around insulting you and eating - horror of horrors - soggy chips! And when you start being haunted by the ghost of a night witch from your home country, it's it's anyone's guess where things will end up. Will you survive the haunting of your flat? Will you live through your husband singing football songs? Will you launch a random piece of fruit at him to try and alleviate your terror? Join us as we analyze the connection between food in horror in the terrifying 2020 film His House, but please don't aggravate the apeth!

We all have mommy issues, and at the Allardyce House, there is one mother of a problem up in the attic. Still, if you got the chance to spend the summer in your dream (albeit a bit run-down) house and all you had to do was cook for a creepy old lady, fend off your horny husband's never-ending advances by the pool, rescue your kid from drowning a few times, and serve martinis to your lush of a great aunt, you'd do it and never turn a gray hair, right? Join us as we discuss the joys of motherhood, the wonders of constant cooking, cleaning and hair coloring, that terrifying chauffeur in black sunglasses, and the connections between food and horror in the extremely creepy book Burnt Offerings and the film of the same name.

A luscious little teaser for our upcoming episode!

A gastronomically ghastly taste of our upcoming episode!

Being Goths, we are totally down with black clothing in every instance. However, the solicitor at the heart of our episode will soon grow to hate the color black, particularly as he is constantly running into this terrifying woman dressed in our favorite color. It's bad enough he is sent to a house named after eels, it's difficult enough that he has to bring along his own brandy, and it's even harder when a ghostly spirit begins appearing around every corner. How can you possibly enjoy your beer and cheese and bread, or your roast pheasant and apple-raisin tart if you're constantly being haunted by a spooky revenant in black? Join us as we analyze the connections between food and horror in Susan Hill's classic ghost story The Woman in Black and the two films of the same name, so head out to Eel Marsh House now!
