   I Saw The TV Glow - Pride Month Episode

   "I Saw the TV Glow" was the perfect topic to close out Pride month. A film by a trans auteur, Jane Schoenbraun, a non-binary filmmaker that is uncompromising and relentless in its portrayal of the ambiguity and discomfort that comes from gender dysphoria. King Loke is joined by Luka and Ericka, as well as special guest, extreme-horror writer Cybil Rose, who brings their unique perspective as a trans person to the discussion. "I Saw the TV Glow" is a bizarre, haunting movie, and channels the oddness and excitement of old live-action Nickolodean shows along with the weirdness and horror of shows like Buffy or "Goosebumps", as well as the dark side of nostalgia.

   Goosebumps Nostalgia

   R.L. Stein's childrens horror book series, "Goosebumps", was a staple of 90's culture, and Ericka, Adrian, King Loke, and special guest, writer and poet, Sai Marie, come together to reminisce and extol the greatness of those formative books. Slappy the Dummy, Monster Blood, the Creeps, Horrorland, so many recurring, eminently memorable motifs that served to introduce us to the tropes and language of horror. Join us as we look back, and follow us as we continue to discuss gothic and horrific art and literature on the Demon Toast Podcast! @Deathwish_poetry on Instagram DeathWish_poetry Official: TikTok, Instagram, X | Linktree thehorrorartfilmsociety Official: Instagram | Linktree Instagram follow King Loke @lokewolffather on Insta, and head to demonlandbooks.com for his books! authorsaimarie Official: TikTok, Instagram, X, Facebook, Threads | Linktree Ericka Instagram @monstrumexemplum Adrian Instagram
