Welcome back to Fright School! We start off discussing holiday presents! Joe is journaling... or trying to. Have you read A NOUN of NOUN and NOUNS by Proper Noun Initial. Initial. Proper Noun? Was it any good? Joe is building his TBR and needs recs. We prepare to enter the Drag Race Cinematic Universe (DRCU). This week, we took a trip to see the new remastered version of SE7EN in IMAX! Despite being set in Vague Metropolis, we discuss New York as a character in film. We also revisit the discussion of the apocalyptic visions of horror from way back in season 1 of FS, SE7EN's juxtaposition of apathy and hope, and explore the possible Magical Negro trope in the film as informed by HORROR NOIRE. While Joshua enjoys the relentless rain of the film, Joe gives us an update on the 7 Deadly Sins.
Here at Fright School we have been very lucky to meet, talk with, and become friends with so many horror creators across the seasons of our show. Now we find that so many of our wonderful community are directly being affected by the fires burning in Los Angeles, California. Our hearts are with everyone affected and who have lost so much. Please consider helping in any way you can:
