Disability Represented in Horror

The Ghouls are joined by guest Pascale of Liberty Resources to talk about how people with disabilities have been treated in horror. I think you can see there's a trend in that the answer has been not very well. We talk films Hush and A Quiet Place to discuss the right and wrong way to portray deafness on screen. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-ghouls-next-door/support Sources: https://www.who.int/disabilities/violence/en/ https://femmagazine.com/villainizing-bodies-and-minds-ableism-in-horror-movies/ https://www.slashfilm.com/disability-in-2018-horror/ https://medium.com/the-establishment/whats-so-scary-about-disability-98b05a5c2dab https://www.slashfilm.com/a-quiet-place-deaf-character/ http://www.powernotpity.com/episode2.html https://www.theguardian.com/film/2019/jul/10/midsommars-ableism-resurrects-the-dark-history-of-eugenics-inspired-horror-ari-aster https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/midsommar-disabled-children-characters-oracle-actors-horror-film-sweden-latest-a9003196.html https://www.slashfilm.com/disability-in-2018-horror/ https://limpingchicken.com/2016/05/16/rebecca-anne-withey-what-i-thought-of-the-netflix-movie-hush-with-a-deaf-character-but-not-a-deaf-actress/

Mental Illness Represented in Horror

Ghouls are talking representation and this week we're talking to our friend and Trauma and Curriculum Specialist from Sunrise of Philadelphia, Marina about how mental illness is shown in horror. History has been unkind to the mental illness community but we have had some victories. We talk about a win, the film Babadook which has done a great job of this! Stay tuned later this week to hear about a film that the Ghouls feel did a very bad job of portraying mental illness, Midsommar (spoilers!).

Latinx Representation in Horror

Continuing our dive into the incredible lack of representation in horror the Ghouls are tackling Latinx representation with their friend Sergio Galeano.

Isolation: Underground

01:01:05

Isolation: Underground

The Ghouls have a new series for you, all month long we're talking about isolation somewhere where you shouldn't be. This episode is about being isolated underground, what terrible things await you when you're trapped in a cave because your friends sought glory? Or because your plane crashed and some cannibals stole your son, Timmy, and put him in an underground base of child sacrifice? The Ghouls watched the horror, cult classic The Descent about some amazing and tough women fighting for their lives underground and talk about the indie video game, The Forest.

Isolation: Inside

Isolation: Inside

Hey people! Stay Inside! But don't lose your minds. The Ghouls are getting cozy indoors and quickly realizing that's no good. Gabe discovers she may be claustrophobic and Kat tries to convince everyone to stay inside away from people. We talk solitary confinement, isolation experiments and what happens to your mind when you don't have people to talk to. We watched Stephen King's Gerald's Game and 10 Cloverfield Lane to explore different ways it can truly suck to be stuck indoors because of the apocalypse?? or because of sex acts?? either with people, you don't know or maybe a hungry dog and the moonlight man.
