We return with a very special episode about American author and poet Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849). You thought your life was crap? Listen as we tell the tale of Poe’s “tragical” attempt at love, his dealings with loss and grief, his constant state of poverty, and his addiction to alcohol. The good times are few and far between in this episode. All we can do now is thank Poe for bringing out the little (or big) goth in all of us!

Bullseye! This week Gracie & Abbey discuss the most underrated American vampire film! Near Dark, even over 30 years later, is still eerily relevant to this day. Hatred against the "other," father's of the night and day, toxic masculinity, and women trying to survive in a patriarchal society (vampire or otherwise) are among some of the talking points.

John Carpenter has a few reboots in the works (yes, technically they are sequels and prequels but we're calling them reboots, so there). Listen as Abbey rightly scolds Gracie for objectifying, Gracie rightly scolds Abbey for forgetting major plot points in the Halloween franchise, all the while there's a Flatliners remake/sequel that they both never saw yet talk about anyway... It's a fun ride!

Give a big welcome to Stacy Underwood, a fashion designer and owner of Painted Doll Designs. The three of us discuss in depth The Shining (1980) arguably Stephen King's least favorite film adaptation of one of his works but still one of the best horror films ever made.

Watch the Outlast Launch trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_VkqvdGvcc

Gracie and Abbey discuss the revolutionary move to hire a female writer and a female director for a horror film and why the weapon of choice is a pe--- uh, I mean, a drill...
Hide all of your VHS tapes (if you even have any...) and listen to Episode 7! Among other things, Gracie and Abbey discuss the Japanese ghost story The Ring was originally based on, motherhood, the secret character who was cut from the film, and that TERRIBLE horse on a boat scene!
It's time for another coffee break! We're changing things up a bit and playing the frightening yet educational youtube game, There's Someone In The House!

During this coffee break, Gracie and Abbey watch the American Satan trailer and discuss tattoo acceptance, romanticizing Satanism, and ..... DRAKE BELL!?
In episode 5, Gracie and Abbey discuss the popular Korean horror film, A Tale of Two Sisters. Like other fairytales, the film throws you into a wonderland with strange people and spirits, filling you with enchantment and dread. It's difficult to talk about but a dream to experience for yourself. We encourage our listeners to please watch the film first before listening to this podcast episode.
It's time for a coffee break and today Gracie and Abbey talk about their theories and expectations of The Beguiled, the 2017 film directed by Sophia Coppola.
