URHorror Newletter: Week of 9.14
The season 5 launch, what to expect, and next episode sneak peek!
Hey friends and fiends,
Welcome to your very first UrHorror newsletter! If you listened to S4E13 before the break, then you’re all caught up on what there is to know about this new season. If you didn’t get chance, why? You’ve had an entire month… it’s okay! It’s always there for your ears.
SEASON 5 LAUNCH
To catch you up, this new season is going to be much different. Because this is a one woman show, I want to struggle less while still delivering fun content! So, the podcast episodes have moved to a biweekly schedule with a newsletter in between. I’m crossing my fingers that this structure works out. If not, well… do y’all know any podcast audio editors looking for some volunteer hours? LOL
I also, for once, have every episode planned for this season and we got SIX guests joining us. Out of those, we have a Black horror/Sci-fi author and a Black horror film festival owner. Check out the schedule below!
WHAT’S TO COME
I want to make these newsletters a substitution for weekly episodes. A lot happens in a week for the horror community, so I want to keep y’all updated with reviews, recommendations, and news! You can expect:
Sneak peeks of episodes to come
Bonus episode announcements
Podcast news (episode cancellations, schedule changes, or fun opportunities)
Horror movie, book, & TV news (new movies coming out, movies returning to box offices, book announcements, series renewals/cancellations, etc.)
Book/movie reviews that don’t make it to the podcast
Episode recaps
I hope to hear how you’re loving (or hating) the newsletters and show. You can comment on SubStack, on each episode (exclusively Spotify), leave a review (exclusively Apple), or reach out on social media!
NEXT WEEK’S EPISODE
This upcoming week has two episodes in store! Tune into the podcast on Tuesday @ 12pm for my discussion with author Justin C. Key. We’ll be discussing his new book, The World Wasn’t Ready For You, his personal passion for horror, and the significance of the genre in the Black community.
On our regularly scheduled Thursday episode, we’re talking Ginger Snaps (2000).
Before Karyn Kusama’s Jennifer’s Body (2009), Ginger was the raging hormonal teenage girl with a thirst for male blood. This film explores the discovery of sexuality in teen girls and their emergence into womanhood. I’m so excited to talk about these themes and it’s potential queerness!
