DAUGHTER OF FEMTOBER!: A Halloween Special Hosted by Sarah Knauf

Femtober 2023 is Here!: https://letterboxd.com/essgeekay/list/femtober-vi-the-bite-of-87/
Sarah has trapped Danny and Mark in her Saw Trap™, and that means it’s time once again to talk about horror movies directed by women. They play a game! Sarah talks about how, in its sixth year, she’s run up against the limits of online availability and the gender binary, but has been able to complete the month with some surprising films. They also talk about remakes, bad indie movies, and the five films that Sarah would include in a Femtober midnight movie series.
