Welcome ladies, germs, and people of all genders! Join Taylor & Curtis as we dive into a topic that is near and dear to the hearts of all horror fans – no, not our frankly upsetting love of gruesome deaths, but our love of gimmicks! We don’t often think about it, but fun gimmicks make up the backbone of some of our all time favs, and on this episode we discuss two more recent films that relied heavily on their gimmicks and to great effect. How would our intrepid hosts fare buried alive in a coffin? Will we ever look at a turkey baster the same ever again? Is a criminal in another country always a “terrorist”? Listen and find out the answers to these very important questions!
Please connect with us on Twitter: @ahhreelfilms or Instagram: @ahhrealfilms, or drop us a line to let us know how we're doing, or to suggest a future topic or film to discuss: ahhrealfilms@gmail.com. We’d love any recommendations for this series or a future listener submitted episode! And please remember to rate, review, and subscribe on your favorite podcast app!
You can also find us both on Letterboxd! Follow us on our horror journey and occasional forays into romcoms (because let's be real).
