One of my all-time favs is "Call of Cthulhu Mystery Program" @cthulhumystery.bsky.social, though the character played by the phenomenal Cat Blackard isn't trans, but she is very gay and played by a trans woman. you can also hear her in "K8 Was Here", a 'surprise RPG' youtube.com/playlist?lis...

K8 Was Here - YouTube

K8 Richie was just an artsy teen trapped in a suburban hellscape, until one day everything changed. A tabletop RPG audio drama performed by Cat Blackard and ...

If anyone need something spooky to listen to I recommend checking out the Call of Cthulhu Mystery Program @cthulhumystery.bsky.social link.chtbl.com/cthulhu it's a great show with a great cast that changes between the different series.

I nearly forgot that my @fableandfolly.bsky.social Plus gets me bonus episodes from @cthulhumystery.bsky.social including the Cthulhu Cthommentaries! I got to hear @catblackard.bsky.social talk about From Beyond! Fascinating! I wonder how I would have felt had I seen it when I was younger.

Happy #AudioDramaSunday! We just hit 35% (with our 2 offline donations), which means it's time for another title announcement: Episode 4.07: Hymnals & Hydras. 🐉💙

Our showrunner, @catblackard.bsky.social's love for Lovecraft goes back to high school when she was making student films. Watch her early work below and check out the new episode of @proghorrorpod.bsky.social where she discusses this film's shared lineage with I Saw the TV Glow.

Cat Blackard 🌈🌴💗✨@catblackard.bsky.social · last yr.

ALSO, in the year 2000 I made my own episode of The Pink Opaque: an angsty, dreamy Lovecraft and Phantasm-inspired high school horror film called ShatterDream that's rife with inadvertent trans allegory. We discuss it in the podcast and now you can see it for yourself: vimeo.com/190011288 2/2

Cough up that Luna Juice, friend, and hear my telepathic cry! The cast of @proghorrorpod.bsky.social invited me to join their Midnight Society for a tear-soaked, reality-upending discussion on #ISawTheTVGlow, Pete & Pete, and other static-hazed media on the fringes of suburban nostalgia. 🧵1/2

Progressively Horrified@proghorrorpod.bsky.social · last yr.
