Welcome back to Fright School! We are kicking off our EIGHT season! In honor of LGBTQ History Month, we are teaming up with LAMBDA Archives and the Diversionary Theatre for a showing of THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW! Join us for a discussion of the enduring legacy of the film and new perspectives on its meaning to Queer audiences. Joe is catching up on the GREAT BRITISH BAKING SHOW. Our 2023 Halloween Horror Film Challenge is out NOW and it's all about horror sequels. This Spooky Season we are reflecting on the history of Hammer Film Productions and Hammer Horror which has brought us some of the most iconic portrayals of famous monsters like Christopher Lee's Dracula. This week we focus on HORROR OF DRACULA. We discuss the updates to Bram Stoker's original story, comparisons to the Bela Lugosi film, the repression inherent in Victorian age sexuality and morality, and the influence of contemporary British culture of the 1970s on the story.
