S1 Ep 9: Holiday Special - Black Christmas (1974 & 2019) and The Lodge

The Monstrous Feminine

Happy Holidays! Welcome back to 'The Monstrous Feminine’ - the podcast where horrible humans talk about horror. In this Holiday special, we tackle some films set around Christmastime! 🎄🎁 We have a lot of thoughts. Firstly, is it scarier when the killer’s backstory remains unknown to the audience? Are we too harsh on films directed by women? And finally, what happens to horror when children become the villains? To prepare yourself, go watch the original ‘Black Christmas’ (1974 dir. Bob Clark) 👁️☎️, the 2019 ‘Black Christmas’ remake (dir. Sophia Takal) ☃️🏹 and ‘The Lodge’ (2019 dir. Veronika Franz, Severin Fiala) ❄️✝️.
