Welcome back to Fright School! We share our favorite rainy day songs after we sound checked with some Carpenters' tunes. We chat season 13 of RUPAUL'S DRAG RACE now that Joe is caught up. We choose our top Queens we want to see go all the way. We are very excited about PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN. We are celebrating Black Horror History Month! With HORROR NOIRE (on SHUDDER!) as our guide, we are viewing some of the essential and influential films that have shaped Black Horror. We're kicking things off with arguably the most famous Blaxploitation Horror film BLACULA! We analyze Prince Mamuwalde/Blacula's dual role as the hero and villain of the film, vampirism as allegory for enslavement, toxic masculinity, the casual homophobia and misogyny of horror, and identity politics at play in the film.
