Welcome back to Fright School! We're catching up on another week in the pandemic! Joe did trivia for Guam! Joshua and Joe checked out CLARICE and chat about the state of the SILENCE OF THE LAMBS property. Joshua also had a chance to see POSSESSOR. VOTE now for the FANGORIA CHAINSAW AWARDS 2021! We wonder about the veracity of Tim Burton's WEDNESDAY series. This week we discuss Kasi Lemmons' EVE'S BAYOU! We're continuing our celebration of Black History Month (and also Women in Horror month!) with this gorgeous and mystical meditation on memory and the Southern Gothic. We discuss the fears of women, the intersections of religious and spiritual practices, and the multiplicities of minority groups.\n\nFOLLOW US!\nFacebook Twitter Instagram LinkTree\n\nRecommended Reading:\n\nOriginal Theatrical trailer EVE'S BAYOU (1997)\n\nHaunting Magic: On "Eve's Bayou," 20 Years Later by Seongyong Cho\n\n20 Years Later, Eve\u2019s Bayou Is Still a Stunning Portrait of Black American Life\nBy Angelica Jade Basti\xe9n\n\nTerror & Horror: Eve's Bayou As A Revered Black Women's Genre Text\n\nHORROR NOIRE GUIDE: 13 ESSENTIAL BLACK HORROR FILMS\n\nHorror Noire: A History of Black Horror by Robin R Means Coleman\n\nEXTRA CREDIT:\n\nWE HAVE ALL NEW TEES AND MERCH AVAILABLE!\n\nFright School Recommended Texts:\n\nThe Monster Show: A Cultural History of Horror by David J.
