192: Slasher Extravaganza Part II

Happy Halloween Film Buds, Welcome to our Slasher Extravaganza! This month has been all about thrills, chills, and things that go bump in the night. For our send off to our favorite time of year and holiday, we put together a special 40 movie deep-dive into the slasher genre. And for your listening pleasure we broke it up into two parts. Part II of our Slasher Extravaganza deals with the 90s revitalization of the genre with Scream and Candyman. Joining us for the discussion of Scream and its sequels is Sky Tilley, who has been joining us regularly this month. Across the franchises, we dive into the meta themes and intertextuality of the Scream, and the racial narratives of Candyman that work to varying degrees. We also share our personal rankings for the franchises overall and the individual films for each Slasher. Episode Guide Intro - 00:00:00Scream Intro and Franchise Review - 00:00:56Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh Intro and Franchise Review - 01:07:32Outro - 01:32:24Total Runtime - 01:34:14You can find Sky over @tilleys89 and @WeeklyPopUp on Twitter, and @tilleys2744 on Instagram.Be sure to check out all our Halloween episodes and horror essays, especially the one on the Final Girl, and that y’all have a truly Happy Halloween. Don't forget to check out Part I.
