I Spit On Your Celluloid: The History of Women Directing Horror Movies (Headpress, 2024) by Heidi Honeycutt is the first book-length history of female horror directors from the late 1800s to present day. Having conducted hundreds of interviews and watched thousands of horror films, Honeycutt defines the political and cultural forces that shape the way modern horror movies are made by women. The women's rights and civil rights movements, new distribution technology, digital cameras, the destruction of the classic studio system, and the abandonment of the Hays code have significantly impacted women directors and their movies. So, too, social media, modern ideas of gender and racial equality, LGBTQ acceptance, and a new generation of provocative, daring films that take shocking risks in the genre. Includes short films, anthologies, documentaries, animated horror, horror pornography, pink films, and experimental horror. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this two-part Cinema Junkie podcast I look to the female perspective in film. In this first part I speak with Heidi Honeycutt, director of programming for Etheria Film Night. Founded in 2014, Etheria Film Night is a showcase of horror, science fiction, fantasy, action, thriller, and dark comedy directed by women and for an audience that includes producers, managers, showrunners, distributors, and genre fans. Etheria says its goal is to put the women directors who want to make genre films and TV in front of the people who want to hire them. Etheria is hosted by American Cinematheque and takes place at its Egyptian Theater.
Heidi Honeycutt, director of programming for the Etheria Film Festival, joins me as we dig our claws into the classic werewolf flick, THE HOWLING!
The best thing about being a horror fan is sharing the love with other horror fans! And I had the pleasure to do just that!

Special guest Heidi Honeycutt and I discuss horror, horrible/beautiful, and how we need a new "Santo and the Blue Demon" in our culture. I hope you enjoy the show!

(Photo credit: CHRISTOPHER WAHL/CONTOUR BY GETTY IMAGES) If director Guillermo del Toro didn't exist, we horror fans would have had to invent him. He's a true lifelong fan himself, who brought his unique style and passion to horror films, and his love for monsters paid off when The Shape of Water won Best Picture in 2017. So...why is there so little conversation about Guillermo del Toro in the horror community? Has the man who makes horror films as love letters to the Outsider been branded an outsider because of mainstream success? Join me and my guest, John Arminio, as we look at some of del Toro's films to remind ourselves of the genre-bending richness and the pure, joyous fun of them. All hail hybrid vigor!

I’ve said before that horror is supposed to upset the apple cart. It lets us confront fears we can’t confront in any other genre. I like when good stories challenge me, and that includes a challenge to my perspective. In the last decade or so I’ve noticed many films directed and/or written by women that have shown me horror stories from different perspectives. They’ve unsettled me, and scared me in ways different from before. I LIKE this. As a reader and watcher of horror, I LIKE having something unsettle me. In this episode I talk about how these different perspectives impacted me, and highlight some movies and artists who inspire me. If you like the show, please consider supporting it on Patreon.
