Surprise! It's a bonus episode of FRIGHT SCHOOL! Joshua kicks the episode off with some sad news, but also a recap of his appearance in DARK HILLS EVENTS' CABIN IN THE WOODS REMOTE EXPERIENCE. It was a really fun time and you can rewatch it now on their page! The bulk of this episode is recapping the SHUDDER Comic-Con@Home panels "Scary Good TV" and "Horror is Queer'! It's a bummer to miss out on Comic Con this year (damn 'Rona), but this was a fantastic alternative. Scary Good TV, moderated by the incredible Tananarive Due, is an enlightening discussion of the state of horror on television and the complex demands on this type of storytelling. Horror is Queer is definitely our favorite of the two panels, but we might be a little biased. Nay Bever from Attack of the Queerwolf stole the show with an excellent discussion of monstrosity! We stan you Nay! Please join us here in the Wes Craven Remote Learning Center sometime, won't you? Check out the panels on YouTube NOW!
