Show Notes

The most magical and spooky of days is upon us, listeners, and with it we bring you a long promised tale of love and horror, set amidst a house that has become a living thing unto itself. Prepare to indulge in some prime gothic heroine problems, and have a Happy Halloween! Talking points: setting as protagonist; Real Life Byronic Hero Tom Hiddleston; color in costumes and lighting; GDT continuing to know what we need; sex and the horror genre; what makes a ghost; supernatural versus mundane horror; the gothic plot formula in film; gendered fears in character and authorship; and, hey, why don't more people just lean into their tropes?
