Episode Notes

A vampire, a ghost and a werewolf walk into a bar. But this isn’t a bad joke, this is the Ladies of
Valhalla.

Singing! Laughing! Potentially inappropriate content!

In their sixth episode the Ladies are doing something slightly different, with a raft of
recommendations for you this time round. There’s plenty of really scary stuff out there to watch,
read and listen to (check out our friends at Sirens of Scream for more details!), but about some
things that you can share with all the family? Look (Ed. - listen?) no further, the Ladies are here to
help…

Next month the ladies will be looking at the recent movie adaptation of A Wrinkle In Time, based on
the book by Madeline L’Engel. They have already recorded this episode (time travel!), but if you have
thoughts please do send them in, we’d love to share them.

Books

-Michelle Knudsen – Evil Librarian

Bob Reyer’s lucky thirteen:

-The City of the Dead (1960) Christopher Lee in a town ruled by witches

-Night of the Living Dead (1968) I know what you're thinking, but depending on the child
involved, this can definitely work. There is one extended scene of "ghouls" feeding, but
there's very little gruesomeness beyond that. Despite all that has come since, this progenitor
of all things "zombie" still retains its creepy power!

The Monster Squad (1987) A bunch of monster-loving kids find out that there are such things
as monsters!

Happy Halloween!
