Happy Halloween!! It’s time for getting cozy under blankets, sipping hot cider, and getting the bejeezus scared out of you! The horror film genre is a confusing one - is it feminist, or is it misogynist? It’s...a little of both actually. Mina talks about her favorite horror films while Bella just tries to keep it together (because scary movies are scary), but they also examine why horror is now truly a woman’s game and how women are taking it back.
