23. Ginger Snaps (2000)
<p>The <a target="_blank" href="https://megmechelke.substack.com/">Meg Loves Movies</a> x <a target="_blank" href="https://chloesnotscared.substack.com/">Chloe’s Not Scared</a> crossover that you’ve all been waiting for! Playwright, theater educator and dramaturg Meg Mechelke joins me on the pod to discuss the Y2K cult classic Ginger Snaps (2000). We howl about the sadness of werewolves, the cynical women canon, our upbringing in a cold almost-Canadian climate, funny yet competent moms, and taking angst seriously. If you’re not following Meg, what are you doing with your life? Give them a <a target="_blank" href="https://megmechelke.substack.com/">follow</a>!

22. Bride of Frankenstein (1935)
<p><a target="_blank" href="https://chloesnotscared.substack.com/p/11-tales-from-the-hood-1995">Returning</a> guest and prolific <a target="_blank" href="https://ttmaddenwrites.carrd.co/">author</a> TT Madden comes back to the pod to discuss a fun classic Bride of Frankenstein (1935), our oldest movie to date and our first sequel (possibly the first horror sequel)! We discuss how new horror reflects the moment, the Hays code, Pretorius’ crypt picnic, how this holds up as a sequel and a queer film to modern audiences, swans, and of course The Monsters Mate…? We go pretty chronologically in this one and it’s a pretty short film, so please watch before listening! And if you’d like to stay updated on all the great sci-fi horror books that TT Madden writes, be sure to follow them (links below).</p><p>Let me know if you want a bonus episode of true scary stories!!

21. The Descent (2005)
<p>Another returning guest Bree Tighe joins me to discuss her favorite horror movie and a movie she showed me a decade ago, The Descent (2005). We discuss going spelunking while hungover and jetlagged (couldn’t be us), our experience with caves (very little), if we like Juno (yeah, we do) and the UK ending (aka the only ending worth watching). Plus some tangents about behind the scenes, watching library DVD’s, and a crawler’s family tree.</p><p>Also, we recorded a bunch of scary stories –including one about a haunted clothes hanger– and then it all deleted mysteriously so, let me know if you want a bonus episode telling our true scary stories!!
