Gloom Gals

Welcome back to Gloom Gals! Sorry for the posting delay--we've decided to change to a biweekly posting schedule since our horror hoe decided to go back to school. We're also adjusting to a new mic, so please excuse the occasional rustling! This week, we're talking about a cultural cornerstone: Carrie, another Stephen King classic. We talk about the disappearance of tampon dispensers in public restrooms, Kate blows Amoreena's mind with some biblical knowledge, and Amoreena has to do a quick Google search to determine if Carrie is a grown-up Matilda or if Matilda is just Carrie for kids. Carrie, directed by Brian de Palma, 1976. Music is Blood Red Sky by Richard Bodgers.

Welcome back to Glooms Gals! Trigger warning for some mention of sexual assault (by trees? but still more graphic than necessary). Today, we're talking about The Evil Dead. We have too much to say to fit in all of our timestamp warnings (don't worry, we've got them in the show notes!), Amoreena proposes another thought experiment to test Kate's love, and Kaitlyn doesn't shut up about Evil Dead the Musical.

Welcome to another long one, folks! Today we're tackling The Fourth Kind, our first alien scary movie! While it may not be the best horror film ever made, we still enjoyed it and clearly had a lot to talk about. We kinda go on a tangent or two about early humans, Amoreena shares why exactly this movie is genuinely scary to her, and Kate tries to explain what the Rosetta Stone is (incorrectly, by the way).

Welcome back, ghouls and gals! This week we're covering another one of Amoreena's favorites (favorite FRANCHISE, rather than standalone movie).

Hello! We want to start off this episode with a pretty solid trigger warning: Midsommar talks a lot about suicide, so we have to talk about it too.

Welcome to Gloom Gals! Join us as we explore the horror genre. Whether you love scary movies or hide behind your fingers during Disney movies, we've got you covered. We'll be posting weekly for the month of October, and see where it goes from here! Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/danijel-zambo/fairytales License code: UHRE1MJ4H5PVESEX Transcript: Amoreena: Hello! And welcome to Gloom Gals. The podcast where we take a scaredy cat and a horror hoe and guide you through the horror genre. Kaitlyn: I'm Kaitlyn, your friendly neighborhood scaredy cat A: And I'm Amoreena, the aforementioned horror hoe! K: Join us if you're tired of being left out of movie nights with your friends, A: Even if it's for your own good! K: Or because you're wanting to expand your movie passport A: Or even just your comfort zone. K: Through this journey we're hoping you are able to find a horror niche you can actually enjoy A: Keep up with your annoying film friends at parties, at least a little bit K: and hopefully have some fun as I attempt to do the same! A: We'll be giving you reviews of the movies Kaitlyn and I watch in every episode and exploring what constitutes a good scary movie, how it made us feel, and why you should or should not watch it. K: And I will also be providing a handy-dandy 1-5 finger guide on just how much you're going to have to cover your eyes during the movie (I will also be giving you some helpful time stamps of the super gnarly parts!) A: Very important work. K: So a little bit about me and my experience with horror--I grew up enjoying mostly fantasy movies, right? Lord of the Rings was my favorite movie series, even though I covered my eyes during half the movies, or every single time an Orc was on screen, because I thought they were just too scary. I also don't particularly like jump scares, or body horror, and tend to get nightmares super easily. That all being said, I love stories. And annoyingly enough, horror has some really good stories. And then, I moved in with one of my dearest ones who is a horror fanatic, and well, here we are. A: And fanatic is a pretty accurate term. I've loved horror movies pretty much since I was able to work the remote on our tv. I'm not sure what drew me to them initially; if it was a sick sort of morbid curiosity or maybe experiencing an adrenaline rush like my ten year old self had never had before. Either way, over the years I've curated a place in my heart for the ghouls, gore, and final girls. This whole tour through the subgenres, niches, and classics is something I didn't know I've basically been training my whole life to do, and I look forward to sharing that with all of you. K: So if you'd like to tag along, you can find us on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, and Stitcher. A: And if that's not enough, stalk us on Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok, @ gloomgalspod K: We'll see ya next time!... Or will we? A: DUN DUN DUN
