Welcome back to Fright School! We kick off the episode with impressions of Gloria Swanson and James Mason. Let us know if we should do a whole episode like that! Joshua watched SUNSET BOULEVARD, hence the Miss Swanson attempt. Arrrrr! Joe offers to buy him a lam\xe9 turban. We are excited to be past the 150 mark on episodes! Thank you, Dear Listener! Joshua recounts his Melissa Etheridge experience from last week. Joe talks up BARB AND STAR GO TO VISTA DEL MAR. We remain thoroughly bewildered by CHILLING ADVENTURES OF SABRINA and cautiously optimistic about CLARICE. We are dedicating every Monday in March to Stephen King! To start this special series we are discussing 1984's CHILDREN OF THE CORN. We chat about murderous moppets, religious fanaticism, the connections to LORD OF THE FLIES in King's work, the Folk Horror Genre, and why kids are so damn scary! Also, what does the Iranian Revolution of 1979 have to do with CHILDREN OF THE CORN? We're lost in the maize with this one...\n\nFOLLOW US!\nFacebook Twitter Instagram LinkTree\n\nRecommended Reading:\n\nOriginal trailer CHILDREN OF THE CORN (1984)\n\nWhy are there so many creepy kids, dolls, and clowns in horror movies?
