Horror In Session: Don’t Fucking Eat That
There is something uniquely wonderful about introducing a friend to a beloved and treasured favorite film. When the friend actually *enjoys* aforementioned movie… a very specific joyful alchemy occurs, perhaps even resulting in a moment of actual genuine euphoria. What’s the opposite of gatekeeping? Sharing. An invitation. A welcoming to come on in, pop some popcorn, a proverbial patting of the seat take to join in- let’s watch this weirdly wonderful thing together. That is the entire premise of Horror In Session.
A genre enthusiast and a genre newbie discuss beloved horror films. I had the wonderful opportunity of guesting on this week’s episode, with me I brought three of my most beloved films from a subgenre that has really and truly permanently scarred me. A little something I like to call “Don’t Fucking Eat That!” because that’s the way the alarms in my head sound off in random situations thanks largely in part to these three films discussed. And I must say I take great pride and joy in going three-for-three, stamp of approval, these movies were thoroughly enjoyed!

In Search Of Darkness Part II: More Than “Gruesome Stupidity”
Beloved horror icons talking about beloved 80’s horror classics. That’s enough to sell me on this, but if you need more reasons…
If you’re a fan of In Search of Darkness, this is a no-brainer. If you haven’t yet seen In Search of Darkness but you’re a fan of 80s horror, go watch In Search of Darkness and then watch In Search of Darkness II (You can actually even watch the second one first if that tickles your fancy). If the first movie was a primer to 80s horror, this extension allows for a deeper dive into some more beloved classics, covered by interviews with equally beloved horror icons.
This sequel is a seamless continuation of the original installment. Basically there was way too much good shit to fit into the four hour original, so now we get a second installment. And in no way do these feel like “leftovers” or something cobbled together off the cutting room floor. It’s every bit as enjoyable as the first.
Also….. THERE’S A WHOLE GIALLO SEGMENT *cue technicolor head explosion* That in itself is reason enough for me, but there is truly so much wonderfully great stuff here.

HorrorGirl Problems Patreon
I always shoot more content than I actually use, and that stuff just ends up buried on hard drives. So instead I’m going to let it live on Patreon, for anyone who cares to partake. Mostly additional photos from photo sets I post on socials and BTS videos. If this becomes a thing, I’ll expand on the content that’s hosted there. In the meantime, first BTS video is up- getting ready and makeup removal for a Valentine’s Day themed photo set. HorrorGirl style, obviously.
Episode Twenty Seven: The Vanishing At Cecil Hotel
It’s a true crime episode today, as we talk about the new Netflix documentary Crime Scene: The Vanishing At The Cecil Hotel, which centers on the 2017 case of Elisa Lam. A few exciting announcements for you, also I have strong feelings about Valentine’s Day.
