Episode 219: Author Jude Ellison S. Doyle and Unsolved Mysteries' "Miracle Cross" (1989)
This week we're joined by author Jude Ellison S. Doyle. Jude is an author, columnist, and comic book writer who's written nonfiction like Trainwreck: The Women We Love to Hate, Mock, and Fear...and Why and Dead Blondes and Bad Mothers: Monstrosity, Patriarchy and the Fear of Female Power. On the comic book side, he wrote the 5-issue comic series Maw and his latest is the folk horror comic The Neighbors! We chat about collaborating with artist Letizia Cardonici, fairies and much more before discussing his relationship to horror and why the Season 2 Episode 2 of Unsolved Mysteries terrified him growing up. Shot realtors, blinking crucifixes, nudist colonies and psychic surgeries all come to the forefront as we figure out the show's lasting ability to terrify and confuse with true crime.Subscribe to Jude's Newsletter and follow him Twitter, Bluesky.

Episode 213: Filmmakers Jenn Wexler & Sean Redlitz and Jacob Two Two Meets the Hooded Fang (1978)
Spoilers time tags: 3:04 - 7:30 where we spoil one of the big moments in the movie. On this special Christmas episode, we're incredibly excited to chat with Jenn Wexler and Sean Redlitz, the filmmakers behind the new Christmas horror film The Sacrifice Game, currently streaming on Shudder! We chat about the inspiration for The Sacrifice Game, demonic summoning (Terry has an epiphany) and dig into their horror histories before exploring an apparent Canadian classic. Jenn brought with her Jacob Two Two Meets the Hooded Fang (1978) a fever dream of a movie based on a book series by the amazingly named Mordecai Richler. Slime Squads, monstrous humans, Child Power!, musical numbers, the prison industrial complex...this movie has it all. It's not readily available in the states, but there is a copy on YouTube if you want to experience the lunacy and see for yourself why this movie has lingered in Jenn's brain for decades.Follow Jenn and Sean on Instagram.
