Spoiler free review of Violent Night and, I finally watched the Snyder cut of Justice League - will I ever be the same?

Quick spoiler free review of Halloween Ends. Give Jaime Lee Curtis an Oscar for her portrayal of Laurie Strode already!

Mel gets a little personal discussing the pitfalls of being the person who tries (and fails) to help an addict recover, self imposed isolation, and trying to make friends when everything about you screams red flag.

A Frightful Fret as we know it will be ending, and Mel will be transitioning to a new format over the next few episodes. Tonight, she discusses the importance of the horror genre as a social construct.

Next weekend is Comics in Color, shout out to the blerd fam, Queen Victoria, fear of progress, and answer our question on Spotify which asks the age old question: is garlic sexy?

In this stripped down episode, Mel gets personal and discusses major life changes brought on by health, how they've impacted the podcast, and what it means for the future.

Mels is mentally on vacation as she reads Chapter 5 of Dracula, a selection unintentionally appropriate for Pride Month as we ponder the passionate letter writing between Lucy and Mina 🏳️‍🌈.

A quick reading of Twas the Night Before Christmas (aka A Visit from St. Nicholas) as performed online on 12/24/20. This poem is by Clement C. Moore, first published in 1823, read by many, but perhaps immortalized by American singer/pianist/actor Liberace, who released it on vinyl in 1974 on the label Mistletoe Records.
