This week we're joined by author Jude Ellison S. Doyle. Jude is an author, columnist, and comic book writer who's written nonfiction like Trainwreck: The Women We Love to Hate, Mock, and Fear...and Why and Dead Blondes and Bad Mothers: Monstrosity, Patriarchy and the Fear of Female Power. On the comic book side, he wrote the 5-issue comic series Maw and his latest is the folk horror comic The Neighbors! We chat about collaborating with artist Letizia Cardonici, fairies and much more before discussing his relationship to horror and why the Season 2 Episode 2 of Unsolved Mysteries terrified him growing up. Shot realtors, blinking crucifixes, nudist colonies and psychic surgeries all come to the forefront as we figure out the show's lasting ability to terrify and confuse with true crime.

This week we're so excited to chat with writer Adam Cesare! You've heard Terry gush about his series The Clown in the Cornfield and his latest project is the siege film Last Night at Terrace Lanes (produced by Mary Beth). We chat briefly about the film and Terry manages to get a tiny bit of information out of Adam about the third novel in The Clown in the Cornfield series The Church of Frendo. And, with a little subterfuge, we then find out why The Dentist terrified him growing up. Non-erotic but horny dentistry, destroyed teeth, Chekhov's Teenager and so much more are discussed!
