Welcome back to Fright School! We begin this week\u2019s episode with an ode to Leslie Jordan. We discuss favorite moments in his career, the archetype of the \u201cSissy,\u201d and prioritizing authenticity over safety. Joshua totally forgets to discuss Jordan\u2019s American HORROR Story guest appearances but he was feeling verklempt. Joe went Halloweening as a member of the First Wive\u2019s Club. This week we close the book (possibly? maybe? probably not?) on the odyssey of Laurie Strode and Michael Myers with HALLOWEEN ENDS. Is it a low key remake of CHRISTINE? Is it lacking in the feminist efforts of the previous films? Can Joshua apply his grad school therapy nonsense to the Corey character? Only one of those questions has a real answer and it isn\u2019t the one you want\u2026\n\nRecommended Reading/Viewing:\n\nOfficial trailer HOCUS POCUS 2 (2022)\n\nTraumatized?
