Fear Feasts

A terrifyingly toothsome hint of what's to come next week!

Growing up is hard enough without some pesky psychic ability rearing its ugly head, but when you're stuck in a haunted hotel over the winter with your neurotic mother and alcoholic father, enough ghosts to make you into a thumb-sucking terror, with no fresh fruit and with (oh the horror!) CANNED soup, why, it's enough to make you want to shine a light into every room to see what else you can find. After all, you might discover a decomposing body in a bathtub, a creepy pair of twin girls in ugly blue dresses, a pantry full of Triscuits, Oreo cookies, prune juice and other tasty goodies, or you just might get a whiff of oranges and realize you're about to receive a mental message from some kid in Colorado. We discuss these culinary conundrums and analyze the connection between food and horror in Stephen King's classic and masterpiece The Shining and the Stanley Kubrick film of the same name, so please join us but we promise not to make you play with us......forever and ever and ever.

A terrifyingly tasty teaser for our upcoming episode!

There's something to be said for being an only child who's also an heiress to a large fortune and an aspiring writer, but in this case, the truth turns out to be far stranger than any fictional Gothic tale. If you appreciate terrifying, blood-dripping ghosts and big, eerie mansions with holes in the roof, if you are partial to your afternoon tea served with a lovely dose of firethorn berries, and if you thought Roderick and Madeline Usher were a lot closer than your average brother and sister, you'll appreciate this episode in which we discuss tea and porridge (again), the wide variety of breakfast foods that can be used as weapons, incestuous sibling relationships, and how the pen can literally be mightier than the sword, as we analyze the connections between food and horror in the gorgeously frightening 2015 masterpiece Crimson Peak. But don't be frightened......the ghosts are only metaphors.

A pungently poisonous yet tastily terrifying teaser for our upcoming episode!

Wouldn't you like to be stuck on a British island in a big, eerie house with only your two bratty kids for company? You might want to kill them, but that's totally normal. What's not normal is when your daughter insists there is an invisible boy living in the house, when your son hears ghostly breathing, and when all you want to do is relax with your afternoon tea but you keep hearing spooky footsteps in the empty rooms above? We'll be discussing these fascinating issues, as well as the importance of bread in post-WWII Great Britain, how religion can sometimes negate spirituality (literally!), and the wide variety of ways one can eat porridge as we analyze the connections between food and horror in 2001's terrifying film The Others, so please join us!

A delectably dire teaser for our upcoming episode!

Nothing is scarier than the spirit of a child, wouldn't you say? In this particular house, bells go off for no reason, the phone rings and there is no one on the other line, mothers get mysteriously locked in the nursery with the ghost of their dead daughter, and worst of all, there's no money for good food. There's a strange family doctor who is oddly obsessed with the house itself and once the family members start being picked off one by one, the action really gets going. We're heading to Hundreds Hall in post-WWII Great Britain to hang out with the Ayres family as they navigate teatime with no scones, miniature smidges of fruitcake, spiked party punch that leads to one of the stranger trysts in literature, and a dog who mysteriously eats the face off a bratty child......or does he? So please join us as we analyze the connection between food and horror in the novel The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters and the film of the same name.

A frighteningly flavorsome teaser for our upcoming episode!

Do you believe in haunted houses? 'Cause this haunted house sure believes in you, especially if your name is Nell and you're a little on the edge. We're tagging along with four slightly neurotic individuals this summer as they enjoy creature comforts, and eat delicious peach shortcake and cheese soufflé courtesy of the world's creepiest housekeeper, and we're talking with our first guest! The talented, accomplished and very funny Jamieson Ridenhour joins us as we analyze the connections between food and horror in Shirley Jackson's iconic book The Haunting of Hill House.

Jamieson is the writer, co-producer and co-creator of the fantastic horror podcast Palimpsest, which features a rather eerie house that seems to slip the bonds of time and space in some very weird and scary ways. Highly recommended, and available on Spotify, Stitcher, Apple Podcasts or anywhere you get your podcast fix. #embracewhathauntsyou
