This week the duo watches one of Josh's all-time faves, 1971's Let's Scare Jessica to Death. From Wikipedia: "Let's Scare Jessica to Death is a 1971 American independent horror film co-written and directed by John Hancock in his directorial debut, and starring Zohra Lampert, Barton Heyman, Gretchen Corbett, and Mariclare Costello. The film depicts the nightmarish experiences of a psychologically fragile woman who comes to believe that another strange, mysterious young woman she has let into her home may actually be a vampire."But first: Josh is big, blond, and beautiful. He guested on Nightmare on Fierce Street to talk about Friday the 13th Part 2. Josh plays the tabletop RPG Dread. Josh watched Legend of Hell House and the duo discuss the hotness of Roddy McDowall, Steve Buscemi, etc. Drusilla is hungover from watching Karate Kid films. Then they get into the feature, which Josh is obsessed with. This was somewhat of a lost film for a long time. They discuss the greatness of 70s horror, the end of flower children, the misleading title of Let's Scare Jessica to Death, Baby Natasha Lyonne, Zorha Lapert's incredible performance, the original marketing of the movie, theater people, the combo of horror subgenres this film belongs to, the chicness of doing grave rubbings, whether or not this is a lesbian vampire film, and then they play Have They Seen It?

We're back, and talking to film critic and cosplayer Jessica Scott, who brought us two underrated and under-discussed bangers: John Hancock's ethereal and unsettling Let's Scare Jessica To Death (1971), and William Peter Blatty's chaotic long lost successor to The Exorcist, The Exorcist III (1990 - and yes, The Exorcist II exists, but for our purposes, no it doesn't). You might wonder what these movies have in common for a double feature, and we're here to tell you: actually a lot! Both were developed to diverge heavily from their source material (we're dying to read the original It Drinks Hippie Blood almost as bad as we are to see the director's cut of The Exorcist III), both use naturalistic relationships to drive the horror, both feature fantastic voice work and dream/nightmare logic, both were ignored by Roger Ebert, and of course, Zohra Lampert - who if you're not familiar with as a performer, you're about to be. What these don't have in common, in no particular order: 70's pesticide horror, Weird Little Guy Things, creepy car-handle holding, the Catholic Joker, fear of free love, “a lesbian flick,” and Fabio. Jessica Scott is an entertainment critic and culture writer who focuses primarily on feminist issues, mental health representation, and queer issues in the horror genre.

Also goes by the alternate title "Let's bore Jessica to death while vibin to some groovy 70s nostalgia but also give her some real eerie moments to generally confuse her." That title was clearly way too long. Email us at houseof1000horrors@gmail.com Twitter & Insta: @House1KHorrors

Episode 24:We look at 1971's film "Let's Scare Jessica to Death" which stars Zohra Lampert and is Directed by John D. Hancock. Thursday June 27, 2019
The title "Let's Scare Jessica to Death" tells you almost nothing about the 1971 hippie vampire cult classic except that someone named Jessica is being frightened repeatedly. But all you really need to know is that the titular role is played by a captivating Zohra Lampert, who gives a gripping and wildly nuanced performance both as the mentally unstable Jessica and as, I assume, herself in a handful of zany Goya commercials from the 80's.
