What these don’t have in common, in no particular order: 70’s pesticide horror, Weird Little Guy Things, creepy car-handle holding, the Catholic Joker, fear of free love, “a lesbian flick,” and Fabio. You might wonder what these movies have in common for a double feature, and we’re here to tell you: actually a lot! Both were developed to diverge heavily from their source material (we’re dying to read the original It Drinks Hippie Blood almost as bad as we are to see the director’s cut of The Exorcist III), both use naturalistic relationships to drive the horror, both feature fantastic voice work and dream/nightmare logic, both were ignored by Roger Ebert, and of course, Zohra Lampert - who if you’re not familiar with as a performer, you’re about to be. We’re back, and talking to film critic and cosplayer Jessica Scott, who brought us two underrated and under-discussed bangers: John Hancock’s ethereal and unsettling Let’s Scare Jessica To Death (1971), and William Peter Blatty’s chaotic long lost successor to The Exorcist, The Exorcist III (1990 - and yes, The Exorcist II exists, but for our purposes, no it doesn’t). She loves J Horror, female rage and talking shit on Twitter.Ĭheck out the episode of HornBloodFire we guested on to talk about one of our favorites, Hagazussa (which also happens to be the podcast’s namesake).

Also, in the place of our usual first horror memories segment, we decided to simply vent about the terrifying and regressive state of the world, so please enjoy, and consider leaving us a review on iTunes. We hope that if you’ve been avoiding rape revenge, you give these films a try. We are so unused to recording without guests, we totally forgot about time constraints and went for longer than average, but there was just so much to talk about with these two movies, we regret nothing. This is a rare just-Candace-and-Ariel episode, so to the reviewer who said they don’t like it when we have guests: You’re welcome. 45 (1981), along with Dusty Mancinelli and Madeleine Sims-Fewer’s lush yet difficult Violation (2020).
