Hello Dear Listeners,

Like a phoenix we have risen from the ashes of moving, learning new technology, and having a generally chaotic two months! But, WE ARE BACK!! This is our first remotely recorded episode and it sounds a bit rough, but we've worked the bugs out and will have another episode out soon.

Its Spooktober and you know what that means!? Horror movies!! In this episode Katya and Laramie discuss the 1985 classic Fright Night directed by Tom Holland (not Spiderman Tom Holland). This movie really is a window into so many things 80s: teen angst, vampires, rape culture, and queer subtext. Katya and Laramie posit that Fright Night may be the best metaphor for sexual predators.

So join us as we take a walk down This Place Scares Us memory lane, discuss everything that has been happening in our lives and unpack a surprisingly complex movie from the 80s. We've missed you and love you all so much!

Previous Episode

John List Scares Us

Hello Dear Listeners,

Like all new relationships we are shamelessly celebrating an anniversary this episode. This was our 1 year anniversary episode and is officially episode 25 of This Place Scares Us! We love all our listeners and once life is a bit more settled for us we want to find something other than a sticker to give out to all of you! Now, on to the episode! We are discussing John List who was a horrible murderer. The term family annihilator was developed to describe this monster and we really dive into why he was so vile. There are so many layers to this story with the true events and the Gothic themes and overtones. Plus this story hits close to home for Katya so buckle up and enjoy! Also in this episode Katya and Laramie deconstruct all of the outfits and shoes Catwoman was forced to wear. Katya continues to discuss her feelings on Pandas (we love you Pu-Pu). Laramie writes an on the spot haiku and we give you all the chance to name yourselves! Happy official begging of fall! **Clinkies** Katya and Laramie

Next Episode

Hereditary Scares Us

Hello Dear Listeners,

We hope you had a spectacular Spooktober, a haunting Halloween, and an amazing All Souls Day! We have been hard at work getting back on our recording schedule after our big life changes. Coming at you this week is the scariest movie we have seen in a good long while.

This week's topic is the terrifying 2018 film Hereditary by Ari Aster. Go watch this movie before listening to this week's episode, but find a friend because this is one crazy, scary, disturbing film! Katya and Laramie dissect all of the things that should scare you about this film and some of the things you may have missed your first time watching.

Also, Katya gives you a run-down of graduate school hell, and Laramie discusses surviving Trump-land Missoula. Before we leave you this week remember: Your life does not start with choice, so why should it end with it?
