Description
Horror? Hardly Know Her! is a nuanced romp into the sub genres of horror films. Hosted by Jane Wright, a quiet little queer artist in NYC, and crawling with discussions between tons of her freaky pals, each episode will dissect two films from a certain horror film sub genre, i.e. slashers, vampires, folk, psychological, art house, body and more.
With particular focus on thoughtful analysis and patterns between horror movies, this podcast is for die hard horror fans, movie lovers, and thoughtful weirdos craving a new perspective on scary movies. Movies range from stone cold classics of the genre to...well the lovable misfits. Not only is there appreciation for the whole spectrum of content in the horror film canon, at least 50% of the movies discussed will be films made by female or non-binary directors. Who knows horror better than a final girl?
Tune in to this unique and expansive perspective to find a whole new appreciation of what scares us on the screen.

It’s here, me lads! A St. Paddy’s Day - Mythology marathon! B-movie lovers, this one is for you 💚 Starting strong with the original gold loving Irish myth, Leprechaun, directed by Mark Jones in 1993 & ending even weirder with the worst movie ever made, Troll 2, directed by Claudio Fragasso in 1990.
..........
We laughed, we gasped, and we widened our eyes in disbelief. These movies forever pushed the boundaries of what film can be. And people are OBSESSED with them!!!! Incredibly, they are often barely rooted in any actual myths and full of the worst acting you've ever had the pleasure to witness. THEY ARE SINGULAR, HENNY! Get ready for the greenest, gloopiest, cringiest ride of your life. These goblins and this leprechaun stole our hearts forever.

Welcome one and all to Horror Noir, aka Noirror! And there is noir way you won’t love the pair of films we discuss: The Night of the Hunter, directed by Charles Laughton & Diabolique, directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot. Two timeless black and white masterworks from the year 1955.
..........
Oneiric, strange, erotic, ambivalent, and cruel: these horror noirs plunge us into worlds of crime and sorted characters. We discuss the technique of shooting on film to create those delicious black and white contrasts, the power of direction and screenwriting, and the gender dynamics of the 50s. With Diabolique being sighted as one of the greatest horror films ever made and The Night of the Hunter’s low-key “GOD-TIER” status, you’re in for a damn TREAT with this one.

It’s a gore fest (but a funny one!) Join Kassie and Maggie, from the horror movie podcast, Skip or Scream, as we embark down the chaotic and messy road of SPLATTER films! We discuss two movies from the year 1987. First the absolute B-movie of all B-movies, Evil Dead 2, directed by Sam Raimi. Followed by the freaky as hell flick, Blood Diner, directed by Jackie Kong.
..........
Splatter films explore the concept of human mortality and display a fascination with the vulnerability of the body. Or in layman’s terms, buckets of blood, guts, and cheesy practical effects. We truly cover what the spectrum of splatter can look like with these films. With the masterful physical comedy of Bruce Campbell in Evil Dead 2 to the near-non-existent story line of Blood Diner. Splatter is an important part of horror history and it was a wild experience witnessing the creativity of these films. Lets gooooooo!

Let's get into some hand-drawn and stop motion majesty with two horrifying and animated darlings!
..........
My favorite boys and I discuss the inimitable anime perfection that is Perfect Blue, directed by Satoshi Kon in 1997. We pair it with the kooky anthology triptych, The House, directed by Paloma Baeza, Marc Roels, Emma De Swaef, and Niki Lindroth von Bahr, made in 2022.
..........
Animation and horror are a match made in movie heaven. Both these genres push the boundaries of story-telling and visual creativity, so it only makes sense that when they join forces, the product is something uniquely haunting, heartfelt, and special. Join us as we discuss themes of identity, fractured reality, and connection. We gush about artistry and have a great time discussing two movies we loved!!

Happy love month! Or anti-love month if you’re feeling frisky ;) my brilliant and thoughtful pal, Davis, and I talk HORROR ROMANCE in this steamy episode for season 2. We cover the 2024 creature features, Your Monster, directed/written by Caroline Lindy & Lisa Frankenstein, directed by Zelda Williams and written by Diablo Cody.
..........
What’s hotter, falling in love with a zombie ... or the monster in your head? What does empowerment through rage look like for women? And can theatre kids come together to create a horror movie?

WELCOME BACK, BABES! Happy Season 2 Premiere!!
Holding absolutely no punches and going HARD START with HAGSPLOITATION aka PSYCHO BIDDIES. We discuss the creation of the sub genre, Whatever Ever Happened to Baby Jane, directed by Robert Aldrich in 1962. Paired with the modern feminist masterpiece, The Substance, directed by Coralie Fargeat in 2024.
..........
Weaponized femininity, the terror of aging bodies, and the violence that ties it all together. These cultural landmarks in the canon of haggetry stoke such a hot discussion in the world of women’s bodies on the screen. From the grotesque makeup of Baby Jane Hudson to the Substance’s slick and artsy take on the standards of Hollywood, you’re really in for a treat.

Wintery horror films are the only cure for the post-holiday slump. So come get cozy as we discuss two obscure little frozen diddys, The Shining directed by Stanley Kubrick & John Carpenter's The Thing.

Legendary directors are only one of the things these two masterpieces have in common. Unforgiving frozen landscapes, sexy psychotic leading men (hi Jack & Kurt :)), scores to make you drool, paranoia, psychosis, ghosts, monsters, its never ending fear at its absolute peak! It's such fantastic hangs.

It’s the thrilling ride you’ve all been waiting for. Episode 1️⃣2️⃣ explores two of the most beloved additions to the horror genre: Psycho, directed by the master of suspense, Sir Alfred Hitchcock and The Silence of the Lambs, directed by the brilliant Jonathan Demme.
.....
Before we dive into this episode, we want to make one thing clear: we love and support trans people, and we strongly believe in a world where everyone can live authentically and safely. We recognize that the portrayal of trans characters in the films, particularly in relation to the character of Buffalo Bill, is deeply problematic. It perpetuates harmful stereotypes and misrepresents the trans community in a way that we do not condone. This episode is meant to engage critically with the film, not to defend or justify these portrayals.
.....
Thrillers and horror so often overlap with their tension building, suspense, and intricate stories of intrigue and high stakes. On this episode we discuss the uncanny double, the lasting effect of these film's scores and cinematography, and the deep love we have for these complex characters.

What are the rules of folk horror? What brings someone to join a cult and commit horrendous acts? Why do grief and belief systems sit in our bones so deep? And what did the sign up sheet look like for the Paimon potluck in Hereditary? We're here to talk about it all.

One of my favorite movie pairings of the season: gothic castles, haunted basements, and two misunderstood lil guys. My bestest bub Amber and I put Frankenstein and The Babadook side by side to see what happens when a god-complex meets a storybook nightmare. Tune in as we chat about grief, isolation, and parenthood across two centuries of stories.

Is Audrey 2 a vampire or an alien? How can levity and the darkest thoughts imaginable coincide to give us hope and also a spooky good time? And most importantly, why aren't we talking about the minutia of vampire life more often? This a great episode for anyone nervous about horror because its fun and silly!
