A horror podcast brought to you by the Spinsters of Horror! This is a time once a month where Jess puts down her knitting needles and Kelly steps away from the TV to discuss horror movies & other horror mediums with thoughtful analysis, research and passion.
It’s another episode of our Know Your Roots: History of Horror Series, but this time we are recapping the last 50 years of horror, before we forge ahead into our next decade, which will be the 1970s.
We will do a recap of major historical events and movements that influenced the horror genre from the 1920s to 1960s, and the films we have already talked about in prior episodes. We will then discuss a few hidden gems from around the globe that are also great representations of what was influencing horror movies of their time periods; the films up for discussion are A Page of Madness (1926), Dracula’s Daughter (1936), Gaslight (1944) and At Midnight I’ll Take Your Soul (1964).
Enjoy and welcome to our dark side…

Welcome to Kelly’s Taboo Terrors, a monthly podcast that explores the transgressive side of cinema. These movies, and discussions, are not for the faint of heart so listener's discretion is strongly advised.
This month, I am tackling a very explicit and interesting film by famed Italian extreme horror filmmaker, Domiziano Cristopharo - eROTik (2018). Portraying the loneliness of queerness and mental illness, eROTik is a desolate and strange look into the world of the male necrophile. Viewer's discretion is strongly advised for those wary of male ejaculation!
My guest for this episode is John Patterson! John writes about extreme horror and anything else that catches his interest. He is currently working on a book on queer theory and 50s/60s horror films.

A film I love to hate, and hate to love, Deadgirl (2008) remains one of the most disgusting pieces of cinema I have ever experienced. And that’s saying a lot! Bringing to the screen violent misogyny through zombie rape, assault, and brutality, Deadgirl is tremendously offensive and controversial - but also one that gets people talking. It’s a 00s nasty, I am here to finally discuss it, once and for all.
My guest for this episode is Kelly McNeely! Kells is a co-host and enthusiastic mixologist for Black Fawn Distro’s YouTube channel, which also houses her “Streams & Screams” review series. She can be heard as a co-host on the Murmurs From the Morgue Podcast and has appeared as a guest on many others, including A Year in Horror, Our Bloody Obsession, Eye on Horror, The Rockman Power Hour, I Spit on Your Podcast, and Void Video. Kelly has written extensively for iHorror.com — she also represented the site as an entertainment correspondent for The List TV — and has published articles for Modern Horrors, 1428 Elm, Salem Horror Fest, CGMagazine, and Grim Magazine. For creepy crafts and cocktails (and lots of dog pics), you can track her down on Instagram @kellsmcnells. She talks fast and drinks often, but is mostly harmless. Mostly.
