Most ashamed of.Herself.Support us on Patreon: https://bit.ly/34jUJsGYou can also support us by purchasing some merch: https://bit.ly/33bjPtuFollow us on Twitter: https://bit.ly/2WxCs8yFollow us on Facebook: https://bit.ly/36svFkYFollow us on Instagram: https://bit.ly/2JIhZIVJoin the Westside Fairytales Horror and Lit Club: https://bit.ly/2WAjT3NArtwork by Yui Breedlove https://bit.ly/324i7ZO

A super duuuuuper long episode of the Horror and Lit Club in which I ramble at length about home repairs, Castlevania, my take on the new pride flag, and in which I deliver a roughly two-hour-long script revision of the new Conjuring movie from James Wan.I say that the Conjuring is a Blumhouse feature a bunch of times during this, which is incorrect, but it's so like a Blumhouse movie I decided to forgive myself. Just letting you know ;)The script doctor is the last like two hours or so of the episode, skip ahead if you just want to hear that and skip everything else, lolSupport us on Patreon: https://bit.ly/34jUJsGYou can also support us by purchasing some merch: https://bit.ly/33bjPtuFollow us on Twitter: https://bit.ly/2WxCs8yFollow us on Facebook: https://bit.ly/36svFkYFollow us on Instagram: https://bit.ly/2JIhZIVJoin the Westside Fairytales Horror and Lit Club: https://bit.ly/2WAjT3NArtwork by Yui Breedlove https://bit.ly/324i7ZO

Ash has proven to herself beyond a shadow of a doubt that anywhere she exists, if Mike’s there, she can — and will — kill him. He’s no longer a stain in her heart, but there are other problems.She’s trapped in Ashley Colon’s version of reality with no way out, and even if she had one, it wouldn’t fix what was wrong with Gun Cotton. With little else in the way of options, she reaches out to the one person she knows might be able to help.It’s clear that the events Ash’s presence in Gun Cotton has set into motion haven’t been slowed in the least by her return to her own time. After a lifetime of letting herself be slowed, sidelined, and stalled, she’s ready to break through into the shadowed history of her house’s basement.What she finds on the other side of the rough will be the beginning of the end of the life she’s known for thirty years. But knowing she has to face it, and wanting to, will make all the difference.Support us on Patreon: https://bit.ly/34jUJsGYou can also support us by purchasing some merch: https://bit.ly/33bjPtuFollow us on Twitter: https://bit.ly/2WxCs8yFollow us on Facebook: https://bit.ly/36svFkYFollow us on Instagram: https://bit.ly/2JIhZIVJoin the Westside Fairytales Horror and Lit Club: https://bit.ly/2WAjT3NArtwork by Yui Breedlove https://bit.ly/324i7ZO

Ash’s desperate gambit in the Doctor’s hidden clinic has paid off, returning her home as though from a dream. Faced with the revelations of the clinic, many questions have been answered, but many still more remain.Ash finds that Gun Cotton has taken a turn for the worse while she’s been gone. If she was really gone at all.In any case, it’s readily apparent that her work isn’t yet done, and this moment of happiness might be little more than a brief reprieve.Support us on Patreon: https://bit.ly/34jUJsGYou can also support us by purchasing some merch: https://bit.ly/33bjPtuFollow us on Twitter: https://bit.ly/2WxCs8yFollow us on Facebook: https://bit.ly/36svFkYFollow us on Instagram: https://bit.ly/2JIhZIVJoin the Westside Fairytales Horror and Lit Club: https://bit.ly/2WAjT3NArtwork by Yui Breedlove https://bit.ly/324i7ZO

The Doctor’s threats, and his condition, make it all too clear that Ash’s time in the Starling household is rapidly coming to a close.

Ash realizes she’s stuck in this iteration of the house once she finds the house doesn’t even have the garret she’s been looking for. Gone too is the typewriter, though she can still hear it faintly throughout the house.She adapts to her new job as a housemaid while trying to figure out a way home, the meaning behind that other her's urging to “find the Medusa. Find the Artist.” It’s painfully clear, however, that the doctor’s own tenuous grip on sanity is rapidly slipping, and she might run out of time before she can find the answers she needs.Support us on Patreon or by purchasing some merch!Follow us on social media: Twitter | Facebook | InstagramJoin the Westside Fairytales Horror and Lit ClubSend us an emailArtwork by Yui Breedlove

I talk about Greg McLean's "The Darkness," possibly the most stultifyingly boring movie I've ever seen, my plans for upcoming format changes to various parts of the podcast, and a recommendation for "Little Nightmares" by Tarsier Studios. I also talk at some length about my evolving "Radha Mitchell Conspiracy Theory" that will eventually expose me as the triviality-obsessed sociopath I am.\Enjoy!Support us on Patreon or by purchasing some merch!Check out all our social media links hereJoin the Discord!

There is no separating Ash from her visions now, and she doesn’t know if what she’s experiencing are visions at all. Seemingly thrust out of her own life and into one she’d rather die — rather kill — than live, she finds her headspace filled with memories of an existence that shouldn’t feel as familiar as it does.Desperate for a way out, but bedridden from smoke inhalation, Ash is forced to use every last ounce of wit to escape this new and horrific predicament.Support us on Patreon or by purchasing some merch!Follow us on social media: Twitter | Facebook | InstagramJoin the Westside Fairytales Horror and Lit ClubSend us an emailArtwork by Yui Breedlove

The lines around Ash’s reality blur in full as she finishes Morgan’s story. The cruel, beautiful ghost haunting her seems as made of flesh as Darcy.As time moves on without Ash fully in the world, the repairs to her home proceed on schedule. But as the work crews pry deeper into the house, an accident occurs that might push Ash through the thin walls of her own mind into somewhere else entirely.Support us on Patreon or by purchasing some merch!Follow us on social media: Twitter | Facebook | InstagramJoin the Westside Fairytales Horror and Lit ClubSend us an emailArtwork by Yui Breedlove

Ash dives fully into the story of Jacob Morgan, the supposed real estate agent who’d ended his own life by jumping off a balcony at the Gun Cotton Hotel. As Ash dives into his sordid past, it’s readily apparent that, perhaps, not everything she’s writing is fiction.Even more to the point, the lines between Ash’s visions of Morgan’s life before that ill-fated meeting in Gun Cotton and Ash’s own life aren’t quite as solid as they should be.Support us on Patreon or by purchasing some merch!Follow us on social media: Twitter | Facebook | InstagramJoin the Westside Fairytales Horror and Lit ClubSend us an emailArtwork by Yui Breedlove
