This month, I'm traversing the world of Italian horror cinema with Lamberto Bava’s MACABRE! Known for releasing some controversial films like Cannibal Holocaust, Cannibal Ferox, and The New York Ripper, the Italian horror market is no stranger to transgressive themes. Though this is a more subtle take on necrophilia than other films covered, it is weird, romantic, and interesting! An underseen gem, Macabre stays true to its name. 

My guest for this episode is Donna Tha Dead! Donna is a passionate horror podcaster who dives deep into the eerie, unsettling, and mysterious. As a woman of color in the horror community, she brings fresh perspectives to the genre, exploring everything from horror and cult classics to series with horror undertones. With a love for storytelling and a knack for uncovering the terrifying tales that lurk in the shadows, she creates chilling content that keeps listeners on the edge of their seats. Whether dissecting cultural influences in horror or speaking with fellow enthusiasts, she’s dedicated to amplifying diverse voices in the world of the macabre.
