Ghoul On Ghoul

Amanda and Sarah deliver a hearty helping of meat to start 2022 off right. Sarah kicks things off with a primer on Herne the Hunter, an English folkloric character/god whose fascinating history has connections to Shakespeare. Amanda takes the stage for a look at Carrie: The Musical, the disastrous horror-inspired production considered one of Broadway's biggest flops. Other subjects covered include the wild world of dating apps, farm romance, and Riverdale vs. Sabrina. Recommendations: Sarah recommends the 1987 film Witches of Eastwick and the new release The Bloodhound. Amanda recommends the 1971 film Whoever Slew Auntie Roo? and the new Ben Wheatley film In the Earth.  Sources:  “From Ghoul to Godhead” by John Callow, Hellebore No. 4 Yuletide Special 2020, pp 29-37.
