Episode 10 -- DOOM (2005)
This week, Stacie grabs her controller (amongst other things) and turns on her console (amongst other things) to talk about the 2005 film Doom.

Episode 9 -- ZOMBIE (1979)
After decidedly not complaining about the new "Friday the 13th" "trailer," Stacie dives overboard and wrestles with Lucio Fulci's 1979 gut-muncher goresterpiece Zombie, aka Zombi 2, aka Zombie Flesh Eaters.

Episode 6 -- THE LEGEND OF THE 7 GOLDEN VAMPIRES

Episode 5 -- The Art of Punctuation: DAMIEN: OMEN II
This week, Stacie gets unpleasantly moist (from the heat, thank you) and talks about chatbots, the Antichrist, and all the over-the-top joys of Damien: Omen II (1978). Show notes, links, and the such available at FinalGirlAfterDark.com.
Episode 4 -- Dead by Spiders: SCREAM FOR HELP
There’s a special guest stalking the halls of the Manor this week as Stacie is joined by Andrea Subissati (Rue Morgue magazine, The Faculty of Horror podcast) to discuss a delightedly nutso double feature from director Michael Winner: the teen melodrama/home invasion flick Scream for Help (1984) and the star-studded Satanic mess The Sentinel (1977).
Episode 3 -- Who's Zoomin' Who: BLOW OUT
What can too much coffee do to a woman? Listen to this week’s episode and find out as Stacie staves off despair (barely, anyway) by diving into conspiracies, John Travolta feelings, and more with Brian De Palma’s masterful thriller Blow Out (1981).
Episode 2 -- Dead Young Woman Handicrafts: THE ROW
This week, Stacie takes a look at the 2018 "college slasher hot girl" film The Row, starring Lala Kent of the reality show Vanderpump Rules. Spoiler alert, the story surrounding the movie is more interesting than the movie itself. Happy Gay Month!
Episode 1 -- FEARDOTCOM
In the premiere episode of Final Girl After Dark, Stacie boots up her modem, jacks into the system, and takes a long-overdue look at the 2002 internet horror film FEARDOTCOM. Who will survive the evil machinations of a sinister website and what will be left of them?
Welcome to Final Girl After Dark! In this short introduction to her brand new podcast, your host Stacie...introduces her brand new podcast. Weird, right?
