Content warning: brief discussions of child abuse and sexual violenceNow you know what we are, now you know what YOU are! Laney and Carson travel to the Murder Capital of the World for this episode on Lost Boys! In this episode, we discuss queer vampires, the Satanic Panic, and a pure Freudian slip about one of Laney’s favorite K-pop groups. We dissect film through the queer lens, theory of disidentification (José Esteban Muñoz 1999), and the many versions of vampire metaphors used in media. Join us, drink some of this, be one of us!

Need a helping hand to guide you through the haunted house that is the horror genre? Welcome to Scaredy Cat and Horror Hound! Join Carson (the horror hound) as he leads Laney (the scaredy cat) through an introduction to all things horror, as they explore the genre in its many highs and lows. By introducing each other to the different sides of horror media, they will share insights as both newbies and seasoned pros while reviewing one piece of media each episode. With their backgrounds in art, art history, queer theory, and film analysis, Carson and Laney hope to provide new insight into horror and its many subgenres to educate each other and their audience. From the high camp horror of cult classics, to the psychological heavy hitters of contemporary horror, and every spook, slash, and scare in between, we hope all of your scaredy cats and horror hounds alike will join us on our journey!
