Horrorbelles

Jill and Cherlynn talk the terror of the Australian import, The Babadook. That means tackling the parenthood parable and examining its German Expressionism roots.

Jill and Cherlynn check out the NYC Horror Film Festival and get a taste of indie horror that doesn't go down well.

Jill and Cherlynn nearly come to blows talking the ins and outs of Walking Dead. Is it sexist? Nihilistic? Harmful to women and marginalized identities? These two have a LOT of opinions.

Jill and Cherlynn are bound to disagree on some things, such as the presentation of Tara, the show's one openly gay character, the demonization of mental dysfunction, how hard Beth sucks and Carl's reaction to everything. We also contemplated what it would mean if Daryl were actually gay, as had been (kinda) discussed by show creator Robert Kirkman and Norman Reedus in the past.

Cherlynn and Jill tackle the feminism, fear of technology and unique Japanese mythology in their comparison and contrasting of the Japanese Ringu and American The Ring.

There is a time and place for German Expressionism in silent film, and that's neither today nor in my basement. The HorrorBelles talk Nosferatu (1922).

Jill Scharr and Cherlynn Low look at Aubrey Plaza's Life After Beth and question the zomromcom's place in horror in episode 03 of HorrorBelles.

In this episode we talk about the 2013 film All Cheerleaders Die, a remake of the 2001 film by the same name, both written and directed by Lucky McKee and Chris Sivertson. There's a lot of cool stuff going on here, guys: everything from female gaze to female gays--plus some creepy dark magic and a whole lot of blood.

In this first episode, we talk FX's latest horror series The Strain. Guillermo Del Toro's anti-Twilight TV show turns vampires into hideous, sexless monsters in a gruesome, yet oddly hilarious, way. Why is it hilarious? You'll have to listen to the podcast for the major, er, plop point.
