Spooky Thirties

Spooky Thirties

NYD Productions

For most of her life, host Stella Cheeks was afraid of all things that went bump in the night. Despite having black hair, a bad attitude, and a bevy of tattoos, she was everything a horror fan was not. Mainly, scared! Until she turned thirty. Now with a newfound, totally unearned confidence, she is making up for lost time through friendship, exposure therapy, and, most spookily of all, academia!

We're back, and we're headed to the prom! Stella Cheeks begins the second season of her bloody journey through horror film and life with a familair guest, as Erin Cline returns to discuss Carrie (and Carrie) with us! How much of this book did Stephen King really write? Can any male director make a good movie about women with powers? Have we lost all sense of format and episode lenght? The answers may make you see RED.

Editors notes:

-At some point Bobby says "Dreamcatchers" when he may have meant "The Dead Zone." Future Bobby would not let this Stand.

-Stell is no longer on twitter! Byeeeeeeeeeee

PLEASE NOTE: Stella's deep dislike of Phantasm seemed to have cursed her mic so the audio quality sounds like it's coming from another dimension. Consider it a bad director's choice, like the choice to make Phantasm 5.

Sentinal spears are chasing Stella Cheeks and her special guest Jolene through a graveyard of dreams with nothing but a quadruple-barrled shot gun and a frisbee full of razor blades. Join them as they break down the "classic" horror series franchise Phantasm and try to answer the age-old question of "is this good bad or is this bad-bad."
