Good Mourning, Nancy Full Length Episodes

This is our first episode! Welcome to Good Mourning, Nancy! On our first episode we'll be talking about The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974).

Episode 1: Texas Chainsaw Massacre - Head Cheese

In episode 2, Gracie and Abbey talk about the various actors who played the creature, meeting Julie Adams in California, Milicent Patrick being over-shadowed by a man, and the mind blowing realization that this movie mixes religion and science!

Episode 2: Creature from the Black Lagoon - Man Fish

In today's episode, Gracie and Abbey swoon over Vincent Price and laugh WAY too much for WAY too long while they discuss the amazing ridiculousness of the film, House of Wax (1953).

Episode 3: House of Wax - Her Eyes Follow You

In episode 4, Gracie and Abbey become almost speechless when talking about how HORRIBLE Rosemary's husband is to her and how scary pregnancy can be for women in real life. Baby Satan aside, Rosemary's Baby could easily be a horror film on it's own.

Episode 4: Rosemary's Baby - All of Them Witches

In episode 5, Gracie and Abbey discuss the popular Korean horror film, A Tale of Two Sisters. Like other fairytales, the film throws you into a wonderland with strange people and spirits, filling you with enchantment and dread. It's difficult to talk about but a dream to experience for yourself. We encourage our listeners to please watch the film first before listening to this podcast episode.

Episode 5: A Tale of Two Sisters - Stepmom?

The new moon is here, so all of you werewolves can come out of hiding and listen to Episode 6! Gracie and Abbey discuss the making of the 1941 classic, The Wolf Man.

Episode 6: The Wolf Man - Wolfsbane Blooms

Hide all of your VHS tapes (if you even have any...) and listen to Episode 7! Among other things, Gracie and Abbey discuss the Japanese ghost story The Ring was originally based on, motherhood, the secret character who was cut from the film, and that TERRIBLE horse on a boat scene!

Episode 7: The Ring (2002) - Seven Days & Single Moms

Gather around and grab your flashlights! It's time to tell the horrific tale of a slumber party gone horribly wrong... THE SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE (1982)! Gracie and Abbey discuss the revolutionary move to hire a female writer and a female director for a horror film and why the weapon of choice is a pe--- uh, I mean, a drill...

Episode 8: The Slumber Party Massacre - Pillow Fight!

Heeeeerrreeeee's another Good Mourning, Nancy! We decided to try something a little different and have a guest on the show! Give a big 
 welcome to Stacy Underwood, a fashion designer and owner of Painted Doll Designs. The three of us discuss in depth The Shining (1980) arguably Stephen King's least favorite film adaptation of one of his works but still one of the best horror films ever made.

Episode 9: The Shining - Come Play with Us

It's the season finale of Good Mourning, Nancy and we're double digits! We would not have been able to get through these 10 episodes without your constant support, patience, and love! Cheers to you!

In this season finale episode, Gracie & Abbey get real philosophical about Jigsaw's motivations and discuss some serious topics.*** WHOA. On a lighter note, Danny Glover is in this movie and so are a few people from LOST! Oh and that guy from that movie ...uh... The Prince Groom or something.

***Trigger warning to those who've lost friends and/or family to suicide.

Again, thank you for all of your love and support! We'll see you in October with our special Halloween episodes!
