Welcome back to Fright School! We start off with some gratitude and appreciation for your generosity. We love doing this show and glad you keep listening! Joshua found a book of horror poetry called I AM NOT YOUR FINAL GIRL by Claire C. Holland. Joe was a guest on Guam based podcast WE GOT OUT OF BED TODAY! He promises to spill some tea about THE WEAKEST LINK, so check it out! We also catch up on the RUPAUL'S DRAG RACE finale. It's May so Bridal Season is ramping up, though how anyone is getting married these days remains a mystery to us. We're dedicating the next few episodes to the brides in horror and there's no better place to start than with the OG Bride herself, THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN! There is A LOT happening in the 75 minutes of this film, so we do our best to rein it in. We talk about the racial politics possibly at play, the Queer reading of the film, the cruelty of society, and The fabulousness of the Bride herself. She's serving lewks, hissing, screaming, and stealing all the scenes in her whopping 3 minutes of screen time! Clearly, she is a drag queen which is why we're campaigning for Alyssa Edwards to play her in the remake. RuPaul will be sashaying her way into the lab coat of Dr. Pretorius, naturally... SHE DONE ALREADY DONE BEEN ALIVE, HENNNNY!\n\nMentioned in the Episode:\n\nWE KNOW PODCASTING! There would be no Fright School without the incomparable assistance of one Matt Kelly.
