Live From Armadillocon: Creepy Kids

August 01, 2016 / Dawn Humphrey

Join the Women In Caskets live from Armadillocon in Austin, TX!

When invited to speak at a sci-fi/fantasy convention, Jen and Dawn of course turned to the scariest thing they could think of - kids. Creepy, powerful, and horrific kids. So join them as they discuss why the creepy kid is such a successful trope in horror, what makes a creepy kid and what movies (and a few TV shows) manage to knock it out of the ballpark. And along the way, they identify some crazy gaps in their cinematic knowledge and make some REALLY unfortunate word choices.

Thanks always to The Shape for the intro/outro music.

Episode 30: The Nightmare is Real

April 16, 2016 / Dawn Humphrey

Layers like an onion. Critiques sharper than Freddy's knives. More meta commentary than a grad school literature class. What is it? Wes Craven's New Nightmare.

There's so much depth and commentary in this movie we probably could have done two podcasts on it, but we managed to cut it down to one.

We really hope you've enjoyed listening to our Nightmare on Elm Street retrospective as much as we did recording it. Stay tuned for something new next podcast!

Nightmare 2 was covered in Episode 11.

Nightmares 1 and 3 were covered in Episode 24 and Episode 25.

Nightmares 4 and 5 were covered in Episode 26 and Episode 27.

Freddy's Dead and Freddy v Jason were covered in Episode 28 and Episode 29.

New Nightmare Soundtrack by J. Peter Robinson

"Scary Terry" is from Rick and Morty.
