Caitlin is joined by new guest Whitney to cover the Netflix original horror movie Cam. Cam is a unique and impressive movie, and we both loved it. We touch on themes of black mirror esque technology and stigma around sex work, and I share my deep fear of doppelgangers. Whitney shares about her experiences in gaming, and we talk about her diagnosis of PMDD. Thanks for being here, Whitney!

One evening in 2006, Mary's dad brought home a copy of a horror DVD that happened to look really cool. That DVD turned out to be Jack O'Latnern, and it became a Halloween staple for Mary, who in turn turned me and our horror buddies on to the cult classic. We hadthe privilege of chatting and laughing with the star of the film, Dave R. Watkins, to chat about the movie itself, and about his experience as a creator. He was a delight, and the movie is a lot of fun! Thanks for joining us, Dave!

Jaime and Tami, the founders of Texas ChainPaw Massacre, join Caitlin to talk about 2009's Orphan. It's a wild story that feels unbelievable, but it was based on true events! This one includes a big twist, so consider watching the movie beforehand if you'd like to avoid spoilers. Be sure to visit texaschainpawmassacre.com, and consider adopting an animal that has a horror movie lookalike! (Or any animal!)

Calling all shrews, crazy bitches, and inconvenient women! Maddie, Mary, and Caitlin gathered to talk about David Fincher's Gone Girl. Feminist media discourse gave us terms like manic pixie dream girls and pick-me girls, and Gone Girl gave us "the cool girl." We do a deep dive on "the cool girl," themes, scenes, and quotes, and we generally have a great time with a great movie.

Show regular Mary and new guest Dave join Caitlin to talk about an all-time favorite - 2005's The Descent. Dave is an experienced outdoorsman, and he brings a lot to this episode, especially because Mary and I are scared of everything. We love our brave cave Dave. We all agree that Juno is THE WORST, and we marvel at how well this subterranean movie was made. Join us as we look at the trreachery of monstrous female friendships.

Caitlin is joined by Chase and Elizabeth to talk about a darling of the horror community, 2014's It Follows. This episode has a rousing debate, because I find the main character a bit of a pick-me, and Chase holds me to task and challenges my assumptions about the movie. Elizabeth proposes some great questions about the movie's logistics and what we would do in this scenario. We can all agree on one thing: the soundtrack slaps. Disasterpiece did right by this movie.

Mary returns to talk with Caitlin about Stephen King's Dolores Claiborne. God damn, do we love Kathy Bates! She's the best, and we think more people should know about this great movie. Be sure to stick around for the awesome bumper Mary made for the show, and also consider checking out (and donating to) RAINN.org.

Caitlin is joined by retuning guest Maddie and new guest Matt to cover Hereditary. Do you like horror movies with a lot of decapitations? Well have I got a movie for you! Ari Aster has an incredible ability to depict trauma and horror in a way that will really stick with you. I do a deep dive on Paimon, Matt shares about his encounter with a man invoking Beelzebub, and Maddie blows my mind with her monstrous motherhood analysis. Hail Paimon!

Caitlin is joined by Naty and Zi of The Spooky Corner to cover 2016's The Love Witch. We dig in to the feminist messaging, praise Anna Biller for her incredible vision, and laugh about how we want to root for Elaine, even though she's decidedly delusional and murderous. We just wanted more for you, Elaine! Be sure to check out The Spooky Corner, as well as Karson Reed's Dance Fit and Fun!
