Let's Watch That Instead

I'm not sure it's within our power to scare you anymore what with living in a modern hellscape and all. To that end we start the show by being tormented by (a total legal parody of) a real life bloodsucker, as we try in vain to find something to scare you with. We get pretty close by using the word "transgenderism" completely incorrectly like five times, and bring back the terrible specter of Twins. But things stay pretty unspooky, mostly because Shudder's blurbs got even better since last year so there's essentially no point in making fun of them. Anyways, Happy Halloween. The Pitches This Week: Don't Kill It/Demon Baby Daddy V. Pharmacuetical Nightmare - "Is the world ready for another 'Twins'?" Shark Lake/Shark Week - "We could almost get away with titling it 'Raging Bull Shark.'" Boys in the Trees/Hey There Cowboy - "Super black, super gay, I'm tired of the whitewashing." The Awakening/You Little Dybbuk of a Kid - "The dead could destroy you utterly if they wished it."
