Joe Bob Briggs on the Impact of ‘Scream’ and the Future of the Slasher [Halloweenies Podcast]
The Last Drive-In host also suggests which horror sub-genre is ripe for the taking right now.
There’s a new suspect in Woodsboro, California. He’s tall. He’s got a Texas drawl. He’s brought a six-pack of Lone Star beer. And like everyone else in town, he’s looking to talk horror.
Yes, the one and only Joe Bob Briggs joins the Halloweenies to discuss the impact of Scream, the rise and fall of the slasher, and why everyone calls everything a masterpiece today.
He also discusses Season 3 of The Last Drive-In, which continues to win our Friday nights on Shudder, and teases some tricks and treats for the summer. Spoiler: It involves a real drive-in.

Stephen King’s ‘Doctor Sleep’ Returns to ‘The Shining’ With Mixed Results [The Losers’ Club Podcast]
“Life was a wheel, its only job was to turn, and it always came back to where it started.”
The Losers’ Club: A Stephen King Podcast heads to Frazier, New Hampshire to review Stephen King’s 2013 novel, Doctor Sleep. The sequel to 1977’s The Shining follows a much-older Danny Torrance, whose battle with alcoholism becomes all the more complicated when he crosses paths with a young child who also has the shine.
Join Losers Randall Colburn, Michael Roffman, and Dan Caffrey as they discuss the True Knot, dirty dishes with poundcake, and debate if King should have ever burned down The Overlook Hotel. Note: This episode was recorded in 2019 and is being re-released today as part of their ensuing chronological read-through.
Stream the discussion below and stay tuned next week for an episode on Bryan Fuller’s Carrie. For further adventures, join the Club over long days and pleasant nights via Apple Podcasts, Spotify, RadioPublic, Acast, Google Podcasts, and RSS.
