Ha ha we love a good podcast announcement
But in all seriousness: At Least You’ll Sanctify Me When I’m Dead is officially here!
You can check the first episode out on Spotify right now at this link! (and also here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5k9SE4HoseOWEeoKLeEd6J?si=Woq7GIGoQ56vEex7uxQ8NQ)
The first two are a bit slow since there’s a lot we’re going to cover in the process, but I promise it’s going to be fun.
So please give it a listen, and I hope you stick around for more.

Mike why would you hide these in the tags?
hey oomf have you considered getting therapy
Considered it? I adore therapy, and I've been in and out of it throughout my adult life. It's a truly excellent thing. Also, my work is a very potent form of therapy as well - Midnight Mass alone was equivalent to 10,000 hours on the couch

Just a little update: this project will become a podcast!
I'll be uploading in both audio and visual formats on YouTube and Spotify, so keep an eye out for it!
I Changed My Thesis
Originally, my history BA thesis was going to be deconstructing the Starz/Sky TV collaboration Penny Dreadful.
I changed it.
I had been forcing my way through the show to make notes for my work, but then one day I started thinking about Bill Gunn’s ‘Ganja and Hess’ way too much and it changed my whole concept.
Now, I’ll be writing my thesis on linguistic violence against women and the monstrous feminine in horror, examining terminology used against women and how those words are contextualized historically within horror as a genre.
There’s a lot of material to cover in this paper, as I already have over 50 sources, but to give an idea of what I’m looking at, the following are the movies I’ll be using for the paper:
Am I Quiet Enough For You Yet?
Audition (1999)
Last Night in Soho (2021)
…Will Still Become a Wolf When the Autumn Moon is Bright
Ginger Snaps (2000)
The Company of Wolves (1984)
I Drank All the Blood That I Could
Ganja and Hess (1973)
A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (2014)
Holy Water Cannot Help You Now
Def By Temptation (1990)
Possession (1981)
They Come to Drink, They Come to Dance, to Sacrifice a Human Heart
The Lure (2015)
She-Creature (2001)
Burned But Not Buried This Time
The Craft (1996)
The VVitch (2015)
So stay tuned for ‘At Least You’ll Sanctify Me When I’m Dead: A History of Linguistic Violence Against Women and the Monstrous Feminine Within Horror’.
This is gonna be fun.

"You got vampire lore wrong in your story because real vampires do this and that" Buddy I have terrible news about all of vampires. Heartbreaking news. Worst news you're gonna hear all day.

Halloween 2023 Content Round-Up
So........my October was a lot more packed than I thought. I ended up extremely busy across the board with school and shows, so I wasn't able to watch every single thing on my list. However, I ended up getting through a lot more than I thought I would.
Here's the rundown:
Ginger Snaps (2001) - thesis research, more to come
Blood Red Sky (2021) - monsters, motherhood, and the monstrous-feminine, more to come
El Conde (2023) - I was confused, but in a good way?
Flux Gourmet (2022) - really bizarre, but really really good
The Lighthouse (2019) - very odd, unsure how to feel about it
Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched: A History of Folk Horror (2021) -folk horror is really cool, more to come
The Most Assassinated Woman in the World (2018) - super interesting examination of trauma and escapism
Errementari: The Devil and the Blacksmith (2017) - again, folk horror is really cool
Ganja and Hess (1973) - thesis research, more to come
The Pale Door (2020) - depiction of witched, more to come
She-Creature (2001) - thesis research, more to come
Birdboy: The Forgotten Children (2015) - lore is a bit confusing, but it's beautiful
Freeway (1996) - fucks with me every time I watch it
Midnight Mass (2021) - I think about Riley Flynn literally every single day of my life
The Fall of the House of Usher (2023) - this show fucks 10/10
Creepshow S4 (2023) - perhaps the best season of the show yet
Considering three of these are tv shows, I'd say I did pretty well.

Loved Fall of the House of Usher!! (And all your other work, at that)
I really love your references to other horror media, particularly fun to pick out what I think is modern horror refs - was the chimps inspired from Nope? And the reference in Tammy’s death to a twin growing in the brain feels very obviously about Malignant?
if these aren’t the inspirations, what were? And is there any inspos everyone’s missed that you wished they’d noticed (in any of your work)?
The chimps were inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's story The Murders in the Rue Morgue
The concept of the "twin" was from Poe's William Wilson (also Tammy's husband's name). Fun fact, though - long before the concept of a parasitic twin was used in Malignant, it was done to amazing effect in Takashi Miike's Imprint.
