About this episode

Matty & Andrew explore the terrifying world of clown horror, discussing its origins, notable figures, and reviewing related films.

Step right up… to your worst nightmare. This episode, Matty & Andrew are diving honk-first into all things clown horror — from the origins of the clown (cute!) to the very real terror of the 2016 creepy clown panic (not cute!) to John Wayne Gacy, who used his alter ego Pogo the Clown to hide crimes too monstrous to comprehend. And then we watched some movies. 🍿🎈 🎬 KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE — alien clowns, cotton candy cocoons, and a banger title track from The Dickies. Matty was underwhelmed. Andrew was not. 🎬 STITCHES — an Irish slasher where every kill mirrors a circus trick. Matty loved it. Andrew slightly less so. The Irish Film Industrial Complex remains undefeated. Plus: Horror in Real Life, Whatcha Been Watchin' Bitch, and a closing game of CIRCUS ACT OR CULT ACTIVITY (because honestly… same energy). 🎧 Listen now wherever you get your podcasts! 💸 Support the show: frigay13.com/support #FriGay13 #ClownsAreTerrifying #horrorpodcast #lgbtqpodcast #queerpodcast #clownhorror #KillerKlowns #Stitches #JohnWayneGacy #horrorcommunity #getslayed #horrorpodcasts #queerhorror #gayhorror #irishfilm #coulrophobia
