Episode 035- Welcome to the New Tension: Women Horror Directors

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.  Even a dollar an episode helps to sustain the show.  Thanks for listening.
