Spooky season continues as Brenna and Joe tackle 2002\'s gothic vampire lesbian boarding school text The Moth Diaries by Rachel Klein and its 2011 adaptation by Mary Harron. While we\'re intrigued by the unreliable unnamed narrator and the teen girl drama, Brenna is very frustrated by the book\'s Afterword, which eliminates all ambiguity. Joe is more receptive because of his familiarity with Carmilla, but finds the film\'s disinterest in vampirism perplexing.

Plus: Scott Speedman in full whisper phase, Joe\'s love of a particularly bloody scene, bad flying and Brenna delivering backhanded compliments about Joe\'s choice of vampires
