  1. 🧚‍♀️🩸 Episode 161: FAIRY TALES ARE TERRIFYING 🩸🧚‍♀️

    🧚‍♀️🩸 Episode 161: FAIRY TALES ARE TERRIFYING 🩸🧚‍♀️

    🧚‍♀️🩸 Episode 161: FAIRY TALES ARE TERRIFYING 🩸🧚‍♀️ Once upon a time, two brave, beautiful, and moderately unhinged men set out on a quest… This week Matty & Andrew go down the breadcrumb trail of fairy tale horror — the actual famine that birthed Hansel & Gretel, why Little Red Riding Hood was never really about a wolf, the patriarchy hiding inside every "happily ever after," and how the Brothers Grimm themselves softened their own stories until biological mothers became stepmothers (because heaven forbid a real mother abandon her kids). Also: Jacob Grimm wanted to be remembered for his German dictionary. Nobody remembers the dictionary. 💀 And then we watched some movies. 🍿 🎬 GRETEL & HANSEL — Oz Perkins (yes, Anthony Perkins' son) gives us a witchy coming-of-age fairy tale shot at the literal Hell Fire Club in the Dublin Mountains. Sophia Lillis. Alice Krige. Vibes for days. 🎬 THE UGLY STEPSISTER — Cinderella from the villain's POV. Norwegian feminist body horror. Tapeworms. Surgeries. A 96% on Rotten Tomatoes. Sundance 2025's buzziest midnight title and we are OBSESSED. Plus: Horror in Real Life, Whatcha Been Watchin' Bitch, and a closing game of DID DISNEY LIE? 🎧 Listen now wherever you get your podcasts! 💸 Support the show: frigay13.com/support #FriGay13 #FairyTalesAreTerrifying #horrorpodcast #lgbtqpodcast #queerpodcast #GretelAndHansel #TheUglyStepsister #OzPerkins #SophiaLillis #BrothersGrimm #fairytalehorror #horrorcommunity #getslayed #queerhorror #gayhorror #bodyhorror #folkhorror #horrorpodcasts

  2. 🎲 Episode 160: BOARD GAMES ARE TERRIFYING 🎲

    17 APR

    🎲 Episode 160: BOARD GAMES ARE TERRIFYING 🎲

    Do NOT touch the planchette. This week, Matty & Andrew are rolling the dice on board game horror — from the real-life Ouija board possession case that inspired The Exorcist, to the brief and genuinely unsettling history of board games that have ended in actual murder (Yahtzee, we're looking at you), to a close reading of games so offensive they were banned outright. And then we watched some movies. 🍿🎲 🎬 OUIJA: ORIGIN OF EVIL — Mike Flanagan does the impossible and makes a Hasbro prequel genuinely terrifying. 1967 Los Angeles. One very bad Ouija session. A nine-year-old girl who will haunt your dreams. 🎬 BEYOND THE GATES — Two brothers clean out their missing dad's video store and find a VCR board game that may hold the key to his disappearance. The concept? *Chef's kiss.* The execution? We have notes. Plus: Horror in Real Life, Whatcha Been Watchin' Bitch, and a closing game of making classic board games gay and horror-themed (you're going to want to play along). 🎧 Listen now wherever you get your podcasts! 💸 Support the show: frigay13.com/support 🖤 Welcome to our new patron, James! #FriGay13 #BoardGamesAreTerrifying #horrorpodcast #lgbtqpodcast #queerpodcast #OuijaOriginOfEvil #BeyondTheGates #MikeFlanagan #BarbaraCrampton #horrorcommunity #getslayed #horrorpodcasts #queerhorror #gayhorror #ouijaboard #VHShorror

    🤡 EPISODE 159: CLOWNS ARE TERRIFYING 🤡

    Step right up… to your worst nightmare. This episode, Matty & Andrew are diving honk-first into all things clown horror — from the origins of the clown (cute!) to the very real terror of the 2016 creepy clown panic (not cute!) to John Wayne Gacy, who used his alter ego Pogo the Clown to hide crimes too monstrous to comprehend. And then we watched some movies. 🍿🎈 🎬 KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE — alien clowns, cotton candy cocoons, and a banger title track from The Dickies. Matty was underwhelmed. Andrew was not. 🎬 STITCHES — an Irish slasher where every kill mirrors a circus trick. Matty loved it. Andrew slightly less so. The Irish Film Industrial Complex remains undefeated. Plus: Horror in Real Life, Whatcha Been Watchin' Bitch, and a closing game of CIRCUS ACT OR CULT ACTIVITY (because honestly… same energy). 🎧 Listen now wherever you get your podcasts! 💸 Support the show: frigay13.com/support #FriGay13 #ClownsAreTerrifying #horrorpodcast #lgbtqpodcast #queerpodcast #clownhorror #KillerKlowns #Stitches #JohnWayneGacy #horrorcommunity #getslayed #horrorpodcasts #queerhorror #gayhorror #irishfilm #coulrophobia
