New episode today! Does feminist horror exist, and does it matter who made it? We work through The Descent, You're Next, Midsommar, The Love Witch and more. #omnldpod #HorrorPodcast
New episode - The Slumber Party Massacre (1982). Smarter than its ratings suggest, and we have a lot of feelings about that. #omnldpod #HorrorPodcast #SlumberPartyMassacre
Horror has been showing up at the Oscars since 1931, and it usually wins for "vibes" categories - makeup, cinematography, art direction - while the big awards go elsewhere. Ep. 35 of #omnldpod digs into nearly a century of that pattern, from Dr. Jekyll to Sinners.
Added to the watchlist!
