After five whole months of exploring the most elegant of movie monsters, we've reach the end of our vampire season on podcast. We've journeyed through horny Draculas, zombified vampires to vamp hybrids, through silent films to modern classics...and, well, Underworld. There will be some bonus episodes coming but fear not, we'll be back soon with news on our latest season. And perhaps something in between (wink wink nudge nudge). Until then, you can catch up on every episode here.
A huge thank you to our friends at Arrow Video for making this season happen.
Stay safe, stay spooky.

The Kids Are Alright
by Isaura Barbé-Brown

I'll admit I wasn’t a perfect child. I was known for sneaking out, bunking school and occasionally thieving a ring or two from Claire’s Accessories. But after watching Ils/Them (2006) it’s clear that I was actually an honest to god saint. You’re welcome mum.
Set in Romania, the film starts with mostly unseen individuals tormenting and murdering a girl and her mother, after they are stranded at the side of the road. The next evening, a French teacher Clémentine (Olivia Bonamy) and her partner Lucas (Michaël Cohen) attempt to spend a quiet evening together in their enormous and remote country house. Unfortunately for them, the same hooded individuals have other plans for their evening... mainly terror and murder and things of that ilk. The couple spend the entire night fighting for their lives and trying to escape to safety only to have any progress they’ve made snatched away at the last moment.

Two modern day vampire classics

Part of our new series devoted to exploring the vampire in horror cinema, we take a deep dive into two vampire films that came out the same year but couldn't be more different from each other.
Joining us is film critic and Bloody Women Commissioning Editor Leila Latif to discuss Ana Lily Amirpour's iconic modern-day vampire, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (2014), alongside Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement's comedy horror, What We Do in the Shadows (2014).

The Manningtree Witches
(written by A. K. Blakemore)
|
|
|
England, 1643. Puritanical fervor has gripped the nation. And in Manningtree, a town depleted of men since the wars began, the hot terror of damnation burns in the hearts of women left to their own devices.
Rebecca West, fatherless and husbandless, chafes against the drudgery of her days, livened only occasionally by her infatuation with the handsome young clerk John Edes. But then a newcomer, who identifies himself as the Witchfinder General, arrives. A mysterious, pious figure dressed from head to toe in black, Matthew Hopkins takes over the Thorn Inn and begins to ask questions about what the women on the margins of this diminished community are up to. Dangerous rumors of covens, pacts, and bodily wants have begun to hang over women like Rebecca—and the future is as frightening as it is thrilling.
