Horror? Hardly Know Her! is a nuanced romp into the sub genres of horror films. Hosted by Jane Wright & Donovan Dorrance, each episode is crawling with discussions dissecting two films from a certain horror film sub genre, i.e. slashers, vampires, folk, psychological, art house, body and more.
With particular focus on thoughtful analysis and patterns between horror movies, this podcast is for die hard horror fans, movie lovers, and thoughtful weirdos craving a new perspective on scary movies. Movies range from stone cold classics of the genre to...well the lovable misfits. Not only is there appreciation for the whole spectrum of horror films, at least 50% of the movies discussed each season will be films made by female or non-binary directors. Who knows horror better than a final girl?
Tune in each Wednesday to this unique and expansive perspective and find a whole new appreciation of what scares us on the screen.
ZOMBIES | Day of the Dead (1985) & 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026)
*Please note, there are no trigger warnings and the first half of the episode is spoiler free!*
"The Dead have waited. The day has come." ITS ZOMBIE TIME!!!!!! This has been a long awaited sub genre and trust us, its absolutely dripping in undead goodness! We talk about the absolute zombie classic, Day of The Dead, directed by THEE GODFATHER OF ZOMBIES: George A. Romero & pair it with the latest installment in the "28" franchise, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, directed by Nia DaCosta.
It does not get better than these two franchises (Romero's "Dead" films and the "28" films) when it comes to zombies. They are both chucked full of the things that make everyone love these ghouls: body horror, nuanced looks at humanity, gnarly action, and apocalyptic survival. So join us as we take a look at the origin of the zombie, share our love for Romero, and dig deep into Ralph Fiennes INCREDIBLE performance in Bone Temple.
