Christine Makepeace (The Feminine Critique Podcast) joins me to discuss her books and more recent horror movie inspired poetry. We also look at another two films from the list starting with the critically claimed, let alone truly random "Let's Scare Jessica To Death". Christine also helps to scratch another De Palma movie off the list, with his Hitchcock homage "Sisters". All this plus porn parodies, Christine shares her favourite "Twilight Zone" episodes and the joy of 90's horror plus much more!
