| 28 Jan 2022 | A.D.H.D.: A Damned Horror Diary E1 - Intro + I Got a Sponsor! | 00:24:49 | |
Content warning: Explicit – Contains discussions of ADHD symptoms, mental health struggles, and mushy expressions of gratitude.
Oh, hey! This NOT another episode of The Beauty of Horror. Rather, this is a completely random, extra, bonus, behind-the-scenes bit of content from the sick sad mind of Chandler Bullock. Chandler goes into some of the troubles that come with working in a managerial position while having ADHD, as well as attempts to unmask a bit to give anyone who might know how it feels a little bit of an understanding voice on their feed. He was also bored and really stressing about work. So this is the best procrastivity ever!

| 10 Oct 2022 | Silent Hill Special - Horror Queers Spooky Season 2022 | 00:44:43 | |
Welcome to the Silent Hill Appreciation Day Special! Joe Lipsett from Horror Queers (and BoH Alum - S2E1) was kind enough to reach out to me about being featured during their October Watch Calendar. We were tasked with picking a date, and a theme. I, of course, went against the grain and chose a game franchise. Silent Hill has been an integral part of my development as an artist and horror scholar. This episode serves as a love letter to the franchise. I will explain why it means so much to me, as well as provide you all with a list of films to check out today in honor of the sleepy, foggy nightmare that is SILENT HILL. Notes: - Masahiro Ito (visual designer for Silent Hill) - Akira Yamaoka (audio design for Silent Hill) - “The Road to Paradise: Silent Hill 3 and my Gender Fluidity” for Gayly Helpful 2021 Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-beauty-of-horror/donations | |||
