January 21, 2022 The Masque of the Red Death
This week we are celebrating Edgar Allen Poe's birthday with an oddly apropos story about the wealthy Prince Prospero who attempts to avoid a dangerous plague, known as the Red Death, by hiding in his castle with his obscenely rich friends. One night he hosts an ornate masquerade ball for his guests, but in the midst of their revelry, a mysterious and threatening figure appears.
The story was first published in the May 1842 issue of Graham's Magazine and has since been adapted in many different forms, including a 1964 film starring Vincent Price.

January 14, 2022 The History of the Slasher Genre: Live from The Ax Wound Film Festival
Why are Slashers such a popular subgenre of horror? And where did they even come from? Many point to films from the midcentury, but real ones know we have to go back to Roman Antiquity to find the truth.
This episode was originally performed live at the 2021 Ax Wound Film Festival. Thank you for having us!
