Grab your saxophone, but don’t worry about grabbing a shirt, and come out to the Santa Carla Boardwalk to join hosts Joe and Pace as they talk about the greatest vampire comedy film ever made, The Lost Boys. This episode also features special guest, horror author Ben Monroe, as we take a deep dive into Eucharistic theology (theology about holy communion), creating ritual, and homoerotic vampires. Ben Monroe talks about his short story “The Devil in the Details” in the forthcoming horror anthology Attack from the ‘80s, which you can preorder here. Also, could Lutheran vampires exist? Find out all of this and more in this episode of Horror Nerds at Church!
