    Horror Girl (Special Guest: Miss Lyss)

    In Horror Girl (Special Guest: Miss Lyss), host Adam R. Steigert welcomes Miss Lyss to Reel Talk for a horror special. Their conversation centers on horror movies and tattoos, with film clips providing an additional focus throughout the episode. The format brings together discussion and reactions as Lyss encounters selections from Steigert’s work. Horror movies form a central subject of the conversation. Steigert and Lyss discuss the genre as part of an episode devoted to horror, while their conversation about tattoos adds another topic to the special. These exchanges accompany the viewing segments rather than limiting the episode to a conventional interview about a single project. During the special, Lyss watches various clips from films made by Steigert, including FANG and A Grim Becoming. Her reactions become part of the episode, allowing viewers to watch the excerpts alongside her responses. The clips connect the broader horror discussion with specific examples of the host’s filmmaking. These segments also give Steigert a different role within the conversation: he is both the interviewer and the filmmaker whose work is being watched. Lyss participates as the guest reacting to that material, bringing her responses directly into the exchange. FANG and A Grim Becoming provide two of the featured titles within this combination of movie discussion and clip reactions. Across the special, the episode moves between conversation about horror, discussion of tattoos, and Lyss’s responses to the selected footage. The result is a guest-focused horror episode built around shared discussion and the experience of watching clips from Steigert’s films.
