On this episode, the gang tackles a horror double feature that should be experienced by everyone: Gloria Katz & Willard Huyck’s Messiah of Evil and John Hancock’s 1971 chiller, Let’s Scare Jessica to Death. Although they are two films that convey their respective female protagonists’ crumbling mental states, each entry is very unique in how it presents that material but each one is equally fascinating in its own right. One a low-budget, Euro-inspired semi-riff on Carnival of Souls and the other a forward-thinking meditation on mental illness and isolation, the two make for a double bill the perfection of which even caught the gang by surprise.
