A film I love to hate, and hate to love, Deadgirl (2008) remains one of the most disgusting pieces of cinema I have ever experienced. And that’s saying a lot! Bringing to the screen violent misogyny through zombie rape, assault, and brutality, Deadgirl is tremendously offensive and controversial - but also one that gets people talking. It’s a 00s nasty, I am here to finally discuss it, once and for all. 

My guest for this episode is Kelly McNeely! Kells is a co-host and enthusiastic mixologist for Black Fawn Distro’s YouTube channel, which also houses her “Streams & Screams” review series. She can be heard as a co-host on the Murmurs From the Morgue Podcast and has appeared as a guest on many others, including A Year in Horror, Our Bloody Obsession, Eye on Horror, The Rockman Power Hour, I Spit on Your Podcast, and Void Video. Kelly has written extensively for iHorror.com — she also represented the site as an entertainment correspondent for The List TV — and has published articles for Modern Horrors, 1428 Elm, Salem Horror Fest, CGMagazine, and Grim Magazine. For creepy crafts and cocktails (and lots of dog pics), you can track her down on Instagram @kellsmcnells. She talks fast and drinks often, but is mostly harmless. Mostly.
