Dedicated to Female-Identifying Killers in Horror, episodes feature Jenn, Sammie, Rachel, and Shelby discussing a female-identifying killer in the horror genre—and sometimes the wider world of cinema—from Julia and Jennifer to Carrie and Christine. We’ll tell the story from her point of view, decide if it’s “Good For Her” Horror, and answer the most important question of all: would we die for her?... more

  • An instant favorite!

    I found the Lady Killers through the Losers’ Club pod, of which I have been an enthusiastic member for several years now. Ever since my first Lady K episode (Fargo), I was instantly hooked! Jen, Sammie, Mae & Rocco have great banter and always bring new, refreshing perspectives to the films I’ve always loved. It’s been such a blast revisiting these movies for the first time as an adult woman and I truly find myself gaining copious amounts of insight from this group on various topics and themes a... more

  • Fun back catalogue but new eps disappointing?

    Love the dynamics and discussions of the back catalogue, covers a great range of mainstream and deep cut movies; but catching a few recent eps it seems the presenter line up has changed, and the new 4 talk over each other in a way that’s confusing and hard to follow (maybe it’s a change in editor too?)

  • Lady Killers 2.0 Offers a Deeper Analysis of Gender Issues

    Apple appears to have deleted my previous review…but that’s okay, the Lady Killers have evolved. I think the term “Lady Killers” is a bit of an oversimplification for what this podcast offers. Sure it centers on a cinematic female-identifying killer every week, but the typically two-hour show offers a lot more nuance for those who care to listen and aren’t afraid to confront some of the darker veins running through our society. The three hosts and occasional guest star leverage their seemingly u... more

  • Too much Sammie and repetitive

    Decent pod but so much of the dialogue is repetitive. We hear the same stories over numerous episodes (Jen). Sammie has very long tangents that are not interesting or she’s not very knowledgeable about horror. How did she get on this podcast?

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Woman in Black (2012)
Q: What do you think is the scariest part?
That time that the lie girl appears is the most troubling as it showed the crippling dread of impending doom.
The Woman in Black (2012)
Q: What's your story with The Woman in Black?

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007) with Julia Marchese
Q: So Julia, what is your story with Sweeney Todd and what's your favorite song?
Sweeney Todd is very important to me actually because I grew up, I was in a children's theater group growing up and then I went to performing arts high school, so musical theater was a big part of my school life.
Curtains (1983) with Joe Lipsett
Q: What is your story with Curtains?
Joe explains his long-term relationship with the film, its charm, and how it acts as a starting point for understanding Canadian horror films.
