Welcome back for another episode of Vacation Fright School! We're celebrating Pride here in San Diego! Joshua starts to talk about his Pride plans, but gets sidetracked talking about Rebel's Refinery Skull lip balm. Thankfully, we have the Goth Industrial Complex to make sure Joshua never has to use any product that isn't black and goth as fuck. We catch up on the week's viewing with AMERICAN HORROR STORIES and THE MISFITS. Joshua is reading Grady Hendrix's THE FINAL GIRL SUPPORT GROUP. Joe got a subscription to FANGORIA and we chat about the latest edition's CANDYMAN articles. MORBID ANATOMY is going to be hosting an online lecture for Thomas Harris' THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS with true crime essayist Harold Schechter. This week we get in to some tough topics with JEEPERS CREEPERS (2001). This film really encapsulates the Art of Monstrous Men conversation we have had several times on the show. We examine the Queer coding of both Darry and The Creeper, the very real monster that is director Victor Salva, and the confusing messaging of the film. \n\nRecommended Reading/Viewing:\n\nOriginal trailer JEEPERS CREEPERS (2001)\n\nCompare/Contrast the opening scene of UNSOLVED MYSTERIES March 1990 and JEEPERS CREEPERS opening\n\nJeepers Creepers and Victor Salva\u2019s Confession by Isabelle Arf\n\nDennis DePue: True Story of the Real-Life Killer That Inspired Jeepers Creepers\n\nThese two readings were also very helpful with this episode, but are part of text books not easily linked here: \n\nCreeper Bogeyman: Cultural Narratives of Gay as Monstrous by Sergio Fernando Ju\xe1rez \n\nMy Brother's Creeper: Towards a Queer (Re)Reading of Victor Salva's JEEPERS CREEPERS (2001) by John Edgar Browning\n\nJackie Beat at Gossip Grill San Diego\n\nCheck out the new collection CREEPY BITCHES: Essays on Horror from Women in Horror!\n\nJoe clack-clack-clack-clacked his way onto THWORP!
