Stop! Horror Time!

Elle and Kate

A couple of gays talk the horror movie of the month, real life crime/events, plus if it's worthy of being an honorary gay film. And yes, the episode titles are puns. We know what we're doing (we hope).

#109 - "Pay Your Muse"
It's been a hot minute, but we have returned from our mini hiatus to discuss 2008's TWILIGHT, directed by Catherine Hardwick and written by Melissa Rosenberg. Plus, the most insane connected timeline that involves this movie, NYC and My Chemical Romance, and movies we loved that we saw while we were away. You may also hear Salem, Elle's cat, commenting his opinion on the films every now and then too.

#108 - "One Sick Muffy"
A month missed but we're still here! And this month we're doing a "holiday" film that doesn't get much rep in the horror genre: 1986's APRIL FOOL'S DAY, directed by Fred Walton and written by Danilo Bach (who wrote the screenplay for BEVERLY HILLS COP, which is an interesting jump genre-wise). We also talk about April Fool's origins (or as close as we can get to them), Kate perseveres the end of school as spring approaches, and some movies we've been watching while we were away (if anyone from Shudder listens to us, we would love another part of the 1,000 WOMEN IN HORROR please!!)
