Welcome back to Fright School! Joshua and Joe are having a bit of a downer moment. The Covid Crisis continues. California is on fire. The Nazis seem to be making a comeback in a big way. Nia DaCosta's CANDYMAN is delayed. Times are tough. However, RATCHED is out this week. We have a trailer for Clive Barker's BOOKS OF BLOOD on HULU. Joshua is very excited about MORBID ANATOMY'S ART OF ANATOMY SYMPOSIUM coming up on September 26th. Joe has had lots of time with his special man friend lately. Halloween decorations (ie new house decor for Joshua) are on sale. See? It's not all bad. We are so happy to welcome back Heather Petrocelli to discuss Peter Jackson's gross out, splatter schtick film DEAD ALIVE (aka BRAINDEAD). This movie has it all: Sumatran Rat Monkeys. Overbearing mothers. Greasers. An ass kicking priest. A zombie baby. Barrels and barrels of blood and other bodily fluids. Custard. We chat about White supremacy, The Monstrous Feminine, colonization, zombies and racism, and how children can be so difficult. Grab a barf bag, kiddies!
