This week the duo watches one of Josh's all-time faves, 1971's Let's Scare Jessica to Death. From Wikipedia: "Let's Scare Jessica to Death is a 1971 American independent horror film co-written and directed by John Hancock in his directorial debut, and starring Zohra Lampert, Barton Heyman, Gretchen Corbett, and Mariclare Costello. The film depicts the nightmarish experiences of a psychologically fragile woman who comes to believe that another strange, mysterious young woman she has let into her home may actually be a vampire."
But first: Josh is big, blond, and beautiful. He guested on Nightmare on Fierce Street to talk about Friday the 13th Part 2. Josh plays the tabletop RPG Dread. Josh watched Legend of Hell House and the duo discuss the hotness of Roddy McDowall, Steve Buscemi, etc. Drusilla is hungover from watching Karate Kid films.
Then they get into the feature, which Josh is obsessed with. This was somewhat of a lost film for a long time. They discuss the greatness of 70s horror, the end of flower children, the misleading title of Let's Scare Jessica to Death, Baby Natasha Lyonne, Zorha Lapert's incredible performance, the original marketing of the movie, theater people, the combo of horror subgenres this film belongs to, the chicness of doing grave rubbings, whether or not this is a lesbian vampire film, and then they play Have They Seen It?
