0 Comments | This entry was posted on Nov 13 2017

Hello, Latin fans!

This episode features Rhias Hall of The Villain Edit, and we talk about women who direct horror movies. While this subject has been tackled in a previous episode, new voices on the show bring new conversations and new viewpoints, so this is the first of a few topics that we might be revisiting in the future to get fresh perspectives.

Keep an ear out for a brief cameo from Handsome Boyfriend Jim, as well as our own Princess Headbutt, Maggie the cat!

DRtL Episode 40: Southern Horror!

Welcome back, sugar — won’t you set down for a spell? There you are, settle right in, bless your heart. Thank you so much for joining us for a little Southern hospitality as we sit by the fire and talk about Southern Horror!

We will also be talking about the related-but-slightly-separate Southern Gothic genre, which Tennessee Williams described as writing fiction that captures “an intuition, of an underlying dreadfulness in modern experience.” Which is something we can all relate to, don’t you think?

Join us as we break down our favorite horror films that take place deep in the American South, including some that could only tenuously be said to take place in the South, including one that we were just straight up completely wrong about. (Michael brings up The Others, which, in fact, takes place in freakin’ England. DRtL regrets the error.)

We mention “Mama,” the original short film that Guillermo del Toro helped turn into a . . . well, sadly-inferior feature film. But the original hasn’t lost any of its intensity. You can watch it here:

Michael makes fun of the “Look at me, I’m burning” line from Silent Hill, because — well, just watch:
