11. Summer Camp Horror: FRIDAY THE 13TH

It ain't fall 'til September 23rd y'all. Hold onto sweet, scary summer for one more day by joining your resident basement girls in their discussion about the summer camp horror film that started it all: the original Friday the 13th. Topics include a brief history of summer camp, the "whodunnit" aspect of the film, cozy horror, feminist subtext, final girls, motherhood, and how the famous "ch ch ch ah ah ah" sound is actually a remix of "kill kill kill ma ma ma" (really! That's what it says!). P. S. Steph deeply hates Neddy. They also answer questions and comments from a few listeners who also happen to be authors: William Jensen, Brendan Deneen, and Amy Gentry.SHOW NOTES"Summer Camp Has Always Been About Escaping Modern Life" by Livia Gershon | daily.jstor.org/history-summer-camp"Camp Cool, Not School Cool" episode of the Binchtopia Podcast | audacy.com/podcast/binchtopia-42372/episodes/camp-cool-not-school-cool-9a207ADDITIONAL SHOW NOTESGemini Gospel⁠ | Bianca Pérez's debut poetry chapbook, published by Host Publications ⁠hostpublications.com/products/gemini-gospel⁠.
