"Hillary Clinton Adopts Alien Baby", "First Photos of Heaven", "Osama Captured by Rednecks!"

These are some of the bizarre headlines that you'll see on the cover of 'Weekly World News' -- a parody of magazines like National Enquirer. From its inception, Weekly World News stood out from its competition with it's hilarious and sometimes true headlines. They claim to have discovered a half-human, half-boy being called 'Batboy' and they've run with that for years. So popular there was an off-Broadway musical made about him.

Join Tim and I as we discuss WWN's influence, impact, cover stories and more on this week's episode!

We welcome to the podcast a good friend and fellow horror movie lover, Tim Smith. In this episode, we take a dive into the interesting world of hagsploitation films.

We discuss such classics as 'Whatever Happened to Baby Jane' & 'Hush...Hush Sweet, Charlotte'. These two iconic films from the mid to early 60's set the foundation for movies that have been influenced from them. From movies like 'Ma' to 'The Others', we connect the dots on the different themes and tropes that one comes to expect hagsploitation films and why queer audiences love older actresses. Actresses that are usually cast for such films.

‘Whatever Happened to Baby Jane’ is highly regarded as the mother of all ‘Hagsploitation’ films. In the early to mid-60’s, there was a trend of casting older actresses in roles where they were seen as unbalanced, isolated, & vengeful. These films hold a special place within the queer community because of our respect and love for the actors of the Golden Age of Hollywood.

This film, and others will be our focus for our ‘Pride & Peril’ series. For the next three weeks, I’ll have guests join the podcast and discuss everything from movies with a queer subtext to real-life queer terrors.

Stories that will have you hiding under the rainbow flag your Aunt Judy got you for last year’s PRIDE.

Join us as we delve into the sinister yet empowering realm of rainbow terror from the Itty Bitty Horror podcast.

Welcome back to the Itty Bitty Horror Podcast. In today's episode, "Creepy Clicks: Haunting Stories from the Internet," we delve into the eerie world of online ghost stories. Join host Luis as he narrates three spine-tingling tales found on various online platforms.

First, we uncover "The Smiling Man," a chilling account of a late-night encounter with a sinister figure. Next, Luis's friend Natalie narrates "Not My Mother," a terrifying story of a teen who hears a familiar yet unsettling voice in the dead of night. Finally, we explore the infamous Mexican radio show case, "El Caso de Josue," where a man’s pact with demons leads to horrifying consequences.

So dim the lights, put on your headphones, and prepare to be spooked as we uncover the dark secrets that hide in plain sight on the World Wide Web. Don't forget to check out our previous episodes and follow us on social media for more bite-sized horrors!
