• Scream (1996): Episode 37

  In this episode of Scream Queen Podcast, we’re dialing into the ultimate teen slasher of the '90s, Wes Craven’s Scream. With its razor-sharp meta-commentary, iconic Ghostface mask, and rule-breaking final girl, Scream didn’t just revive the slasher genre, it redefined it.But behind the clever dialogue and bloody set pieces lies a real-world horror. We dive into one of the horrors references The Town That Dreaded Sundown. Inspired by Texarkana Moonlight Murders, a series of unsolved killings in 1946 that haunted a small town. That film’s influence echoed all the way into Scream’s meta-universe.Guest: Bethany Summersizzle from Aliens on Firehttps://www.instagram.com/aliens.on.fire?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==https://www.youtube.com/@aliens_on_fireResources:IMDB for movie facts and triviaBloody Disgusting for horror newsThe Phantom Killer: Unlocking the Mystery of the Texarkana Serial Murders by James Presley.

  In this episode of Scream Queen Podcast, we’re lighting a joint and summoning the chaos with 1999’s horror comedy Idle Hands. A stoner slasher where apathy is a killer. We follow Anton, a suburban teen whose hand gets possessed and goes on a killing spree. In myTrue Horrors segment, we explore the man who inspired the character's name: Anton LaVey, founder of the Church of Satan. From his theatrical philosophy to his influence on pop culture and moral panic in the late 20th century.

• Day of The Dead (1985): Episode 33

  In this episode of Scream Queen Podcast, we descend into the claustrophobic tunnels of Day of the Dead. George A. Romero’s bleakest version in the Dead Series. I also draw true crime parallels to the case of Andrew Brannan, a decorated Vietnam veteran whose untreated PTSD led to a tragic and violent encounter decades after the war. This episode explores the cost of survival, the brutality of institutional control, and the terrifying consequences of untreated trauma. My guest for this episode is Robbie Dorman. A horror author and Co-host of @cultvideovault and The Simpsons Show. https://linktr.ee/robbiedorman?utm_source=linktree_profile_shareSources:https://www.garesource.org/cases/andrew-brannan/ https://www.cnn.com/2015/01/13/justice/georgia-execution-appeal-vietnam-veteran https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Kyle_Dinkheller?utm_source=chatgpt.com
