An Evening with Elvira
Big month for Cassandra Peterson. She's celebrated her birthday, she's released her new memoir Yours Cruelly, Elvira: Memoirs of the Mistress of the Dark, and now she's hosting a 40th anniversary special on Shudder that's aptly titled, Elvira’s 40th Anniversary, Very Scary, Very Special Special. To celebrate, the Halloweenies are dusting off this career retrospective interview with the legend from 2020 in which she digresses on everything from being a household name, to why the horror genre brings her so much comfort, to how she passed the time during the worst of the pandemic. It's an admittedly unpredictable conversation that celebrates a legitimate pop culture icon. Enjoy.Follow us on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Basic Instinct (1992) - Randy's Recs
After surviving the Hollywood horrors within Scream 3, the Halloweenies are heading upstate to San Francisco to solve a string of murderers. Make no mistake, these are grisly crimes, sure, but they're also familiar, especially for readers of crime novelist Catherine Tramell. You guessed it: For September, the gang taking an ice pick to Paul Verhoeven's 1992 erotic thriller Basic Instinct as part of this season's ensuing Randy's Recs series. Together, they discuss the smutty film's curious parallels to Wes Craven's meta franchise, the myriad controversies that surrounded the 1992 thriller, the behind-the-scenes chaos that would go on to fuel the film, the sexual fluidity (or lack thereof) of Michael Douglas, and the blockbuster sex appeal of Sharon Stone. Special guest includes Meagan Navarro.Follow us on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
