Horror? Hardly Know Her! is a nuanced romp into the sub genres of horror films. Hosted by Jane Wright & Donovan Dorrance, each episode is crawling with discussions dissecting two films from a certain horror film sub genre, i.e. slashers, vampires, folk, psychological, art house, body and more. With particular focus on thoughtful analysis and patterns between horror movies, this podcast is for die hard horror fans, movie lovers, and thoughtful weirdos craving a new perspective on scary movies. Movies range from stone cold classics of the genre to...well the lovable misfits. Not only is there appreciation for the whole spectrum of horror films, at least 50% of the movies discussed each season will be films made by female or non-binary directors. Who knows horror better than a final girl? Tune in each Wednesday to this unique and expansive perspective and find a whole new appreciation of what scares us on the screen.

    ***Please note, there are no trigger warnings and the first half of the episode is spoiler free!*** .......... Episode 3:3 is here and it is dusty as sheeeeiiitttt. These films are so old - they actually pre-date "talkies!" That's right - they're silent. But they are oh so juicy, my friends. Truly and deeply, these films were a delight to watch and discuss.

Join us as we discuss the beginnings of this iconic genre. We delve into the campy queerness lurking around every corner, the influence these films have had on history, and what we learned from the icons we owe so much to. .......... 🌟NEW EPISODES WEDNESDAYS 🤟 Loving the pod?
