Gracefully Grotesque, Black Swan (2010) and Suspiria (2018) and the bone-cracking Girl Horror of pain in pursuit of perfection

In this episode of The Girl Horror Podcast, we're doing something a little different. Today, you're coming with me on a tour of the Dance Academy. It's time to lace up your ballet shoes and come with me through the halls of the academy, where we will be exploring the pain in the pursuit of perfection shown in dance horror masterpieces Black Swan (2010) and Suspiria (2018). We'll be discussing the social and cultural context that led to these films being made, as well as looking at the relatable themes that make this film so brilliant. Before the tour ends, you will witness Nina, Susie and Madam Blanc taking centre stage to perform haunting monologues, and even get your very own immersive dance horror experience. Don't forget to follow us on Instagram @gurlhorror and check out the GBM YouTube channel where you will always find our podcast episodes too if you prefer not to use standard podcast platforms. New episodes out every other Wednesday, as well as the potential for bonus episodes in between. Stay girly, stay horrifying! 🎀 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Bloodbath on Prom Night, Carrie (1976) and the birth of Girl Horror

In this episode of The Girl Horror Podcast, from Glass Bone Media, we're taking you back to high school. It's time to don your favourite dress and walk with us through the trials and tribulations of the original girl horror villain. Or should I say, villain. We'll be discussing the context of the 1970s, the journey of feminism that lead to Carrie hitting the perfect spot in culture at the time, as well as diving deep into the complex characters and storylines that make this film so brilliant. The girl horror subgenre owes much of its groundwork to Carrie, and that's why this deep dive is taking centre stage on prom night. As they say, if you enjoy the dark and macabre, then you have a date with Carrie White.
