Fright School

We're going old school on today's episode with FRANKENSTEIN (1931)! It's a classic about a man and the monster who created him. Along the way, hear our thoughts on the new Addams Family movie, Little Shop of Horrors in Pasadena, and our upcoming screening of BUTCHER, BAKER, NIGHTMARE MAKER (1981) We get into some strange territory with artificial wombs and the queerness of Frankenstein's Monster.
