Longbox of Darkness – A Horror In Pop Culture Podcast

LOD is a podcast all about HORROR in fiction, film, and comics. From H.P. Lovecraft to Stephen King, from Hammer Horror movies to Giallo Slashers, from EC Comics to Saga of the Swamp Thing – nothing is too obscure, too overrated, or too terrifying for us to cover. Join us as we take a look at what lurks in the shadowy corners of the Longbox of Darkness.

Get ready for another thrilling episode of The Longbox of Darkness! On this episode, we delve into the darker side of the comic book world, spotlighting the fearless female characters who’ve left an indelible mark on the horror genre.

Join us as we journey through eerie tales of vampires, witches, and supernatural warriors. From the extraterrestrial seductress Vampirella to the slasher-slaying siren Cassie Hack, from the angelic monster-hunter Dancy Flammarion to the bewitching Sabrina Spellman, we’re exploring the stories of women who’ve battled the darkest of evils and emerged victorious.

But these aren’t just stories of horror and dark fantasy. They’re tales of resilience and power, of women facing down the monstrous and the macabre, proving that they’re not just victims in these narratives—they’re the heroes.

So, whether you’re a long-time horror fan or new to the genre, tune in for an episode that promises to enthrall, frighten, and inspire. And remember: when it comes to facing the darkness, these ladies are more than up to the challenge.
