Hell's Belles Heather Drain

In a world full of pre-set guidelines the minute you're hatched out, forging your own true path on your terms is something you have to bare-knuckle fight for. In this episode, Kat Ellinger and Heather Drain discuss how discovering punk music and politics helped them kick against the pricks, fight for self-agency, and own their raw creative voice. Life is too short to sell yourself and your soul to those that will never care about you, so let these two guide you on how the art of the uncompromise can set you free.

As the veil between the living and the dead thins, the crisp Fall air whistles news most exciting down the wind....the Belles are back! That's right. Your favorite Hell's Belles and twin cultural libertines, Kat Ellinger and Heather Drain, have returned! This time, they are grabbing a lit jack-o-lantern to guide you along a most delightfully spooky path of their top ten favorite films to usher in the holiday that lives large and proud in everyone's macabre little hearts...Halloween!

Let Kat and Heather usher you into cinematic realms with witches of various stripes, mad scientists, heavy metal music videos, beer swilling puppeteers, Linnea Quigley's panties, pentagram butt tattoos, the seductiveness of Tom Noonan, cockerynths, lycanthropy, aggro punks, Bauhaus, and pumpkins pumpkins pumpkins!

Every day is indeed Halloween when you're with the Hell's Belles!

The Hell’s Belles are finally back and this time, they are celebrating one of the genre’s best auteurs, Lamberto Bava. Necrophilia, Southern accents, vampires, blind albino witch hunters, Stanko Molnar and more are discussed & celebrated.

Hell's Belles are back as Heather Drain and Kat Ellinger recognise International Women's Day with a raw and no holds barred insider perspective on writing about horror and exploitation film from a female perspective. The duo open up to discuss the willy waving, the sexism, the sleaze, as well as exploring what it feels like to be considered 'the wrong type of feminist'. They also discuss their feelings about tokenism, the current cultural climate, and why they feel women don't need a 'horror month'. The episode ends with a celebration of some of their favourite female icons in film.

This time around, the Hell's Belles discuss some of their absolute favorite purveyors of sanguinary delights in film history. Among some of the glorious bloodsuckers discussed are Lugosi, Lee, Udo Kier, Fright Night, our man Radu and so much more! Sip from your favorite red and enjoy the show!

For this long awaited new episode Heather Drain and Kat Ellinger make a strong case for crowning Tom Atkins Halloween King of 2019, and in fact of all time, stripping down three of his spookiest films, The Fog (1980), Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982), and Night of the Creeps (1986).

So get your Silver Shamrocks on and come join the Hell’s Belles for a Halloween extravaganza that celebrates the potent masculine energy, moustache-as-chat-up-line, jeep driving, beer chugging, hitchhiker seducing, zombie killing, crazy warlock fighting, thrilling and unique talent of Tom Atkins, in the perfect triple bill for this year’s seasonal watching.

Happy Halloween!
