HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! It’s our Halloween special episode, with our amazing ethereal guest Amber guiding us through our spooky season watch of the 1992 and 2021 Candyman movies! This was a very fun watch, with our guest Amber being a horror film aficionado, Halloween being Devin’s favorite season (yes it’s a season in her house) and Andrea not being someone who really watches horror films and watched not one, but TWO to discuss! Amber is an artist, educator, writer and cosplayer. If you haven’t seen her amazing cosplay work, then go find her right now on social media - seriously you're already on your phone! Her cosplay pieces are truly works of art and huge labors of love, follow her cosplay on instagram at @demonslay.her and on TikTok @ohcult. You can also see her artwork @ohcult.studio on instagram - it's stunning! Go support this amazing artist and highschool teacher! Our teachers need extra love guys. We talk about the movies our parents didn’t notice us watching as children, the playing of summoning games (again as children, hey kids are weird), the feminist triumphs and failings of the first Candyman film and how it compares to the most recent 2021 film in the series. Our women in film history fun facts are themed appropriately, being Cassandra Peterson who played the horror host Elvira, and Milicent Patrick, a groundbreaking and sadly overlooked creature creator, animator, actress and makeup artist. We hope you enjoy this episode and have a frightfully delightful Halloween! And remember, be careful what you say in the mirror…Candyman…
