[Podcasts] Women in Caskets – Episode 54: That’s Hysterical: Part Two

Published

on

Before Dawn and Jen take a close look at two films featuring women who are not, as they say, all together sane, they wanted to to take a broader look at the way “crazy” women have been portrayed in horror cinema and television.

In the second of a two-part series, your hosts talk about what hysteria is historically and start to break down the different kinds of crazy ladies horror has to offer: the obsessions, the thirst for vengeance and those crazy, crazy Mommies of the silver screen.

You may want to listen to Part One first.

John Carpenter’s ‘Prince of Darkness’ Is Flawed But Undeniably Original [Halloweenies Podcast]

Published

on

John Carpenter is back with a new album next week: Lost Themes IV: Noir.

To celebrate, the Halloweenies are unlocking their past episode from January 2022 on the maestro’s 1987 relic, Prince of Darkness. Join Michael Roffman, Dan Caffrey, McKenzie Gerber, and Rachel Reeves in the basement of a Los Angeles monastery as they decipher their feelings on the curious case study of the crossroads between science and faith.

Together, they debate whether or not this intriguing intersection overpowers the narrative and characters, chart where this fits in Carpenter’s overall oeuvre, and meditate on a few what-ifs in the casting department. They also marvel at the pulsing score, discuss its parallels to Inferno, and try to make sense of the mythos at the center.

So, go to the mirror and listen below. Subscribe via Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, RadioPublic, Acast, Google Podcasts, and RSS. New to the Halloweenies? Catch up with the gang by revisiting their essential episodes on past franchises such as Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Scream, The Evil Dead, and Chucky. This year? Alien.

You can also become a member of their Patreon, The Rewind, for hilariously irreverent commentaries (e.g. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Gremlins), one-off deep dives on your favorite rentals (e.g. Saw, The Changeling), and even topical spinoffs like this past summer’s greatest adventure Fortune & Glory: An Indiana Jones Podcast.
