Welcome to our first Shriekly Update where we chat about upcoming horror releases and the latest genre news accompanied by some grim humor. Then play along with us in our game segment of horror trivia.

TW: Mention of SA

Our second installment highlighting women in horror continues with some of our favorite women-centric films including: It Follows, Fresh, The Descent, The Witch and Jennifer's Body. We slice, dice and examine the complexities and nuances of the female experience. We reflect on how these films depict the relationships between women and the horrifically creative allegories of what society often associates with women. While this subject matter might be heavy, no need to fret, our furry friend Bella still has a lot to say with her tippy taps!

TW: some mention of SA. To close out Women's History Month, we are celebrating the incredible women in horror. From the directors and final girls, to makeup artists and composers, we discover just how much influence women maintained and gained in the industry we love.... Plus an exclusive tap dance performance from Christine's K-9 housemate, Bella.

T & A and lemonade! Have a seat with us as we spew our thoughts on the new Ti West film, X. Chock full of skillful craftsmanship, this film overturns our expectations and gives us a nod to 70s exploitation horror and one hell of a splatter flick.

We discuss our recent reactions to the film and share some online reviews of it too. We babble about all things from System of a Down and intestine projection to Barbie hands and perverted simulacra. Enjoy!
