Fri, 10 Nov 2023 - 1h 25min - 146 - IAH x Farthouse: The Shining
Happy Halloween 2023!
Here's an extra special treat in your pillowcase: an It's Always Halloween/Farthouse Crossover Episode!
Farthouse is a monthly film podcast hosted by Cinephile Cuties (and Lanterns!), Casey O'Brien and Patrick Mallon. They watch arthouse movies, so you can pretend that you did. And today the three of us discuss The Shining, spooky bathrooms, and DIY Filmmaking!
We also read your EEEEKmails about artsy horror, film catchphrases, nude scenes in class, and bathroom ghosts and banshees!
Casey and I are making a feature film together, 14 Stories in a Bathoom! Read more and/or contribute to our fundraising campaign here!
Please note that this episode, much like The Shining, does contain adult language and situations and would probably be slapped with an R-rating if the MPAA had their say!
Tue, 31 Oct 2023 - 2h 12min - 145 - BIG Frights: Happy Halloween!
Happy October 31st, Lanterns! The veil is thin and the bonfires are lit, let the harvest celebration begin!

Please note, we are taking the rest of the week off to recover! We return 11/10! In the meantime, please tell us how you celebrated this year! Call the All Hallows Hotline at 802-532-DEAD or write an EEEEKmail to itsalwayshalloweebpodcast@gmail.com.

Fri, 28 Oct 2022 - 18min - 100 - Exploring Halloween Costumes with Costume Designer Emma Cogan
Today I sit down to discuss all aspects of Halloween Costumes with Emma Cogan, a horror-focused filmmaker, costume designer, art director, and co-creator of the queer-feminist horror collective Monstrous Femme Films. With a penchant for surreal, retro, and technicolor visuals, Emma’s work utilizes stylized genre film as a backdrop for exploring the twisted side of the human condition- juxtaposing camp with the macabre.
After the interview, Emma and Lucé dive into all the costume-related EEEEKmails.

This week we are celebrating Edgar Allen Poe's birthday with an oddly apropos story about the wealthy Prince Prospero who attempts to avoid a dangerous plague, known as the Red Death, by hiding in his castle with his obscenely rich friends. One night he hosts an ornate masquerade ball for his guests, but in the midst of their revelry, a mysterious and threatening figure appears.
The story was first published in the May 1842 issue of Graham's Magazine and has since been adapted in many different forms, including a 1964 film starring Vincent Price.
Read by Lucé Tomlin-Brenner
Original Sound Design by Pete Byrnes

Fri, 19 Nov 2021 - 44min - 66 - Small Frights: Halloween Journaling
Each Friday I share a curated selection of calls from the All Hallows Hotline and letters from the EEEEKmail bag!

Mentioned in this episode:
