Episode 61: 2017, A Year That Happened

2017 was a stellar year for horror and what better way to kick off 2018 than to take a look back at the best. After much deliberation and a few small arguments, the Women In Caskets would like to offer you their top ten horror films of 2017.

And a few honorable mentions.

And a couple of movies they actually hated.

Fantastic Fest 2017 Recaps

Fantastic Fest 2017 had one of the strongest showings in its 13-year history. So what did we see? Take a listen and find out - our final "top tens" are coming soon, but these are our recaps from days 1-4 and days 5-8.

We hope you enjoy!

Episode 56: Live from ArmadilloCon 2: Reality Bites

Recorded Live at ArmadilloCon in Austin, TX!

The Women in Caskets try to make sense of all those horror movies featuring, "Based on a True Story," in their title cards. From films that bear only a passing semblance to their source to somewhat faithful adaptations, serial killers to killer animals, and the truly gutsy ones that just made it all up and pretended it was real, it's a master list of the real-life macabre. 

The full list of films mentioned and their trailers can be found in our episode playlist on YouTube HERE.

Stuff You Missed In History Class did an episode on two of the killers mentioned (and probably more): Mary Ann Cotton and Sawney Beane. Check them out!

And one correction: Dawn mis-identified the plaintiff in the Warren litigation. The Warrens didn't bring the lawsuit, Gerald Brittle, author of a book on the Warrens, did, claiming that the Warrens gave him exclusive rights to their stories and all derivative works coming out of them. Warner Bros. et al claim the movies are based on historical records and therefore available for free use. Brittle countered that the Warrens made it all up, making the works fiction and therefore - you know what, it's kinda hysterical to read it all, look it up sometime. 

Thanks always to The Shape for the intro and outro music. Now also featuring, "Fritz Was Here" by YoshiBlade (via OCRemix).

Episode 53: I Can't Believe It's Not Horror

This week, Jen and Dawn give you a rundown of shows that aren't horror, but contain horrific elements you might terrifying and downright delightful. From Lynchian Gnomes to super-hero horror, the Women in Caskets hope find something new and exciting to watch, or even just gain an appreciation for the sometimes odd places horror can be found. (Honestly, how any of us survive our childhoods is beyond us, kid's shows are CRAZY.)

Episode 48: Horrific Agency

Agency is a tricky thing, and none know it better than the female stars of Penny Dreadful and Westworld. Join Dawn and Jen as they discuss the highs and lows of demon brides, blank slates and hosts as they navigate their worlds and discover that sometimes, agency comes at a price. 

At the end, a special tribute to a recently lost artist, and to lighten the mood some movie, cartoon and television recommendations!
