GORE CLASSICS OF H.G. LEWIS (BLOOD FEAST, TWO THOUSAND MANIACS, COLOR ME BLOOD RED) | HORROR HISTORY YouTube video by HORROR 101 with Dr. AC

Had a bloody great time talking about Herschell Gordon Lewis’s Blood Trilogy, film history and history in film, and the relationship between art, consumer desire, and capital on the latest episode of Horror 101 with Dr. AC

Last year I listened to Issues on the way home from New Year’s Eve, this year I unintentionally put on Follow the Leader. Something about marking the passing of time that makes the enduring appeal of Korn particularly palpable for me

feeling the urge to flee like never before. where should I fantasize about running away to?

Honestly super jealous of the nonexistent students taking the “Nonhuman Feminisms on Screen” class I’m developing a sample syllabus for like damn they’re watching The After Hours and FKA twigs’ visual EP M3LL155X??

Sorry to keep you waiting! It was delightful, the best possible way to watch the Saw movies is to really try to break time apart by only taking a maximum of two 30 minute naps over the course of two days. Most people are so ungrateful to be alive, but not me. Not anymore 🪚

Tonight into tomorrow I will be attempting to marathon all ten Saw movies, plus the short if I’m brave. Let’s see how much I appreciate my life on the other side of this 🤞🏻

Would love to be included!
