FRIGHT SCHOOL

Welcome back to Fright School! Joshua shares some truths living with stress during this bizarre time. Joe has been in search of entertainment that brings those Summertime good feelings. Joshua is re-watching STRANGER THINGS and Joe sells him on THE 10TH KINGDOM. We're excited for NETFLIX' fall lineup including RATCHED, an origin series for the One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest villainess, and REBECCA, a new adaptation of the Daphne du Maurier novel. Also ANTEBELLUM is coming to on-demand in September! We SPOIL the shit out of SHUDDER's HOST. Zoom seance's only sound like a great idea, but technology can be a real devil!

Surprise! It's a bonus episode of FRIGHT SCHOOL! Joshua kicks the episode off with some sad news, but also a recap of his appearance in DARK HILLS EVENTS' CABIN IN THE WOODS REMOTE EXPERIENCE. It was a really fun time and you can rewatch it now on their page! The bulk of this episode is recapping the SHUDDER Comic-Con@Home panels "Scary Good TV" and "Horror is Queer'! It's a bummer to miss out on Comic Con this year (damn 'Rona), but this was a fantastic alternative. Scary Good TV, moderated by the incredible Tananarive Due, is an enlightening discussion of the state of horror on television and the complex demands on this type of storytelling. Horror is Queer is definitely our favorite of the two panels, but we might be a little biased. Nay Bever from Attack of the Queerwolf stole the show with an excellent discussion of monstrosity! We stan you Nay! Please join us here in the Wes Craven Remote Learning Center sometime, won't you? Check out the panels on YouTube NOW!

Season's Grievings, Fright School! We're celebrating Scary Cryptmas in JULY! We welcome the Jersey Ghouls to the show to chat about ANNA AND THE APOCALYPSE! First the group chats about their states' quarantine measures. Joshua and Joe come for Arizona like they're Spirit Airlines and this is FINAL DESTINATION. Marissa has a real THE SHINING situation brewing. All Disney and No Horror makes Marissa... you know the rest. Jacki is getting caught up on television that was all the rage 20 years ago with CHARMED. Of course, this excites Joe to no end and we are now dangerously close to becoming a CHARMED recap podcast. Joe catches us up on the state of his Special Man Friend's Queer education. We get into the spirit of Cryptmas with the "British Christmas Zombie Musical" ANNA AND THE APOCALYPSE. It's a ballsy movie with a lot of heart (a bloody, pulpy mess of one, but still it's a heart!) and it's a fun ride. It gave us SHAUN OF THE DEAD meets ONCE MORE, WITH FEELING meets HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL meets ROCKY HORROR meets DAWN OF THE DEAD. It's A LOT is what we're trying to say. But also just enough. Check it out and show it at your holiday party if we get to ever have those again...

Welcome back to Fright Schooooool! We are wrapping up our PRIDE 2020 Celebrations with DEATH BECOMES HER! We welcome back to the studio Adriane and her Puglic Defender Minnie! SO much has been going on. Check the show notes for all of our latest guest appearances! Joshua definitely would attend the opening of an envelope if it means he can leave the house, but he'll be gargling Duncan Hines Creamy Dark Chocolate Fudge Frosting in the mean time. Joe is overdosing on LORD OF THE RINGS and Adriane is getting her adventure on with INDIANA JONES AND THE DISSOLVING NAZIS, whichever movie that happens in. The group tries very hard to have fun with DEATH BECOMES HER, but can't help a deep dive into the media's exploitation of all of our insecurities, warped standards of beauty, and Queer love of the Complex Toxic but Fabulous Diva. A Queen once asked "Who wants to live forever?" These queens have a whole lotta questions for what EXACTLY it entails. "NOW a warning" is just not the tea, honeys....

Welcome back to Fright School! With this ongoing isolation we'd be happy to float down in the sewers with Pennywise just to get out of the house! Joe has been watching SPACE FORCE. Joshua is revisiting the early 2000s on SHOWTIME with DEXTER and WEEDS. The boys get caught up on RuPaul's Drag Race ALL STARS and all the conflama drama mamas of the season. We revisit Derry, Maine with IT CHAPTER TWO (2019). Buckle up because Joshua came to LECTURE. Poor Joe. We're talking about Queerness and Homophobia in IT and the works of Stephen King, the problematics of erasure, the Mob of the Marginalized, and childhood horrors. SO FUN!

Happy Pride! Welcome back to Fright School, your favorite Queer Horror podcast. Right? RIGHT?! Just tell us you love us and everything will be okay. We kid! We're still going to kill you for the insurance money because it's what we do. We get caught up as usual. Joe discusses the joys of FUNemployment. Joshua wants to assault Ben Platt which Joe thinks is, like, totally uncool, dude. Have you heard him sing? Voice of an angel, that one. We celebrate Pride month with a couple of gal pals in yet another cabin-like place in the woods. At least there is indoor plumbing and a plethora of weapons hanging about.

Welcome back to Fright School! We are so happy to welcome actress, writer, producer, and friend Jennie Olsen Six to the show! We are still physically distancing in the remote learning center. Joshua has been catching up on THE EXORCIST tv series and reading LOVECRAFT COUNTRY ahead of the HBO television adaptation coming this fall. We take a rocky little trip down Joe's stream of consciousness that involves MONK and HOLLYWOOD. Jennie has been getting her Neil Gaiman on with AMERICAN GODS and GOOD OMENS. We hear about Jennie's past life as a blonde zombie hooker. After the break, we load up the jalopy and head to yet another cabin in the woods in search of THE EVIL DEAD. We discuss dendrophilia, Ash's masculinity, practical effects, and try to establish the difference between the film's female roles. Can we summon Bechdel up in here?
