Episode 76: The List (Revisited)

In 2015, Jen and Dawn sat down to list out their choices for the 10 most feminist-friendly films for new horror fans to watch. It was a good list. A fine list. A fine and goodly list.

It is now an outdated list.

Join the Women In Caskets as they look back and realize mistakes were made and update their list to reflect many of the amazing films that have come out in the last four years, and pay homage to the ones that came before.

NOTE: Due to a scheduling glitch, this podcast and the next regular podcast are being played out of order so there are references to a "previous episode" that hasn't been released yet. That podcast will be released in the next month.

Now for some links to the episodes we've done on the films:

• The Original List - Episode 13

• Alien - The Rants Macabre Nov. 9th, 2015

• Teeth - Episode 22

• The Babadook - Episode 5

• The Final Girls - Episode 32

• The Love Witch - Episode 45 (with Director Anna Biller)

• Raw - Episode 55

• Revenge - Episode 74

And last, but not least, a shout-out to this years' honorable mentions. Not everyone can make the team, but they played on heck of a game: You're Next, The Craft, Gerald's Game, The Ranger, The Shape of Water, American Mary and Prevenge.

Thanks always to The Shape for the intro and outro music. Now also featuring intro backing via OCRemix.

Episode 58: Snack Break

What movies do the Women In Caskets disagree on? What do they watch on TV when not covering horror? What horror movie(s) do they think should be remade?

These are a few of the questions that have been asked along the way and Dawn and Jen think it's high time they do something about that. So tune in, won't you, as they take a little snack break from the norm and answer your questions as well as cover a few odd ends that haven't made it into full podcasts yet.

Think of it as that last run to the concession stand before the movie starts.

Episode 54: That's Hysterical: Part Two

Before Dawn and Jen take a close look at two films featuring women who are not, as they say, all together sane, they wanted to to take a broader look at the way "crazy" women have been portrayed in horror cinema and television.

In the second of a two-part series, your hosts talk about what hysteria is historically and start to break down the different kinds of crazy ladies horror has to offer: the obsessions, the thirst for vengeance and those crazy, crazy Mommies of the silver screen. 

You may want to listen to Part One first.

Below is a full list of the movies mentioned, including links to where they have been previously discussed in other episodes.

Live From Armadillocon: Creepy Kids

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 23: Love Hurts?

It's Valentine's Day and love is in the air. Or is that the putrid stench of decay? Honestly, we can't tell. Join Jen and Dawn as they look at four of horror's greatest romantic tropes: Love Will Save Us, The Family that Slays Together Stays Together, Love Will Drive You Crazy and Sex Kills.

We've got a lot of love for love, so join us as we show the more romantic side of horror.
