Welcome back to Fright School! We start off by getting instantly off track with discussing THE CROWN. It's Gillian Anderson as Maggie Thatcher! It's illegal NOT to watch it. The holidays are coming very soon, so we thought we would take a few episodes and look at some films created by the Indigenous Horror community. First up is THE SMUDGING. We start off with a brief history of the Indian Relocation Act of 1956 to give some context for the film's setting at a Native American Cultural Center haunted by some kind of ghostly, evil presence. Hope you brought your sage grenades!
