It's one of the few series that actually allows the characters to age! (Of course the film series allows us ALL to age backwards)

An hour plus of @finalgirlafterdark.bsky.social going deep on Barbara Stanwyck's lesbian bonafides on this week's podcast rescued this entire week from despair

New episode of EVOLUTION OF HORROR reunites our favorite Detective @mikemuncer.bsky.social and our favorite Log Lady @finalgirlafterdark.bsky.social to talk two J-Horror classics β€” and before you ask the most important question YES Stacie’s cockney char-woman accent makes a reappearance #stopthegob

First day recovering spent basking in a rare political victory for the good guys and @mikemuncer.bsky.social and Stacie Ponder talking about possibly the best Japanese horror film (and ONE MISSED CALL) on Evolution of Horror. I'm doing OK.

It seems to be working fine? It should say "thanks for subscribing" after you submit. If it doesn't, you can email me at finalgirl@finalgirlafterdark.com and I'll try to figure it out

Smashing windows, pulling people out of cars, disappearing people off the street. Restaurants and shops are closing after raids, or out of fear. The left is starting to arm up. I've had friends pointedly "questioned" by seeming informants. Media isn't conveying what it feels like here right now

On this day in Horror History, THE VVITCH premiered at Sundance Film Festival in 2015.

MY PRECIOUSSSS

I mean ahem hmm quality probably can't match my 6-barebones-movies-on-4-DVDs collection so I'm not envious at all NOT AT ALL

PS I'm so happy to have helped you reach a higher plane of existence!

Not turning this into a Bruce Davison stan account or anything (at least not yet) but I felt people should know all of that.

(Might turn this into a JENNIFER stan account though, it's so good)

(She has her own theme song!)

Bruce Davison not only starred in TITANIC II, he also directed a Bigfoot movie featuring Danny Bonaduce, Sherilynn Fenn, and Alice Cooper. He was also once married to Lisa Pelikan, who starred as Jennifer in the 1978 film JENNIFER, a CARRIE rip-off where she speaks in tongues and controls snakes

I don't blame you for missing home and coming back (the next time I'm in Toronto I'm going to ask City Hall for its autograph), but a place where there is always a RESIDENT EVIL movie playing sounds like heaven to me

I've had a grand time--A GRAND TIME I SAY--dual-wielding RESIDENT EVIL boners on this multi-ep ride through Alice's hair journey, but this week it wraps up with AFTERLIFE (2010), RETRIBUTION (2012), and THE FINAL CHAPTER (2017). Available now at finalgirlafterdark.com or wherever podcasts are cloned

Heh yep my most recent Rue Morgue column was about this! Elevated horror is OUT okay, cozy is IN: Horror fans sure love to create new quasi-subgenres based mostly on (personal) vibes and then argue over (largely useless) taxonomy haha

I've loved every dizzying high, sad low, and creamy middle of this journey through the Resident Evil films and I'm so glad to have dragged you along with me
