Fright School

Welcome back to Fright School! We dedicate the first part of the episode to Joe and his recent appearance on THE WEAKEST LINK! We are continuing our celebration of Black Horror History Month! HORROR NOIRE (on SHUDDER!) is our guide to some of the essential and influential films that have shaped Black Horror. Today we're discussing GANJA & HESS a film that was almost lost to the ages if not for The Museum of Modern Art. We chat about Catholicism's preoccupation with blood drinking and cannibalism, the vampirism as addiction metaphor, the practicality of monogamy and heterosexuality in immortals, the incredibly weird and arresting soundtrack, and we introduce the concept of the Enduring Woman.
