Welcome back to Vacation Fright School! It's summertime which means the beaches are open and Joshua is staying firmly indoors. We despair for Jimmykins and the state of the Great Bowling Alley closure. Joshua watched FEAR STREET Part One: 1994 now streaming on Netflix! Joe is serving up some Top Chef at his house. If you like to read, we recommend finding your local SIlent Book Club Chapter! This week on our summer horror road trip, we are finally pulling our RV up to Camp Crystal Lake with a viewing of FRIDAY THE 13TH! It's taken us a few years to discuss this movie, but it just celebrated its 40th anniversary and we figured it was a good time to take it out (and maybe shoot it... or feed it to those mutants in THE HILLS HAVE EYES!) First, we share our thoughts on summer camps and why they're a good place for horror, besides the fact that they are filled with children! We discuss inverting PSYCHO, the excess of the 80s, and the monstrously transformative power of grief on women.
We popped up on EVERY MONTH MADNESS to discuss Queer Coded Cartoon characters. Part 2 is available NOW!
