Ryan Murphy hits hard yet again with the suspenseful drama series Ratched starring American Horror Story’s Sarah Paulson; the connection between these two shows is paramount, but we will get to that in a bit. Based on the character from Ken Kesey’s iconic counterculture novel One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, Ratched is Nurse Ratched’s origin story. We see exactly how Mildred Ratched came to the mental health industry and what made her into the psychologically complex and terr

American Horror Story’s Ryan Murphy apparently just couldn’t help himself with The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story. The color palettes, music, writing style, and plot development are all insanely reminiscent of American Horror Story's style, particularly that of Coven (S3), Freak Show (S4), Hotel (S5), Apocalypse (S8), and 1984 (S9). Of course, Murphy was not the only one responsible for the series’ aesthetic; although, I suspect he weighed in heavily no

My favorite thing about Diablero season 2 is the new characters we meet. Rarely, am I as enthusiastic about new characters; in Stranger Things, for example, Billy and Max took some getting used to before I could feel connected to them as characters. In Diablero season 2, however, it was the complete opposite. First up is Mayakén: Keta’s infamous missing baby is now a very powerful boy, or, perhaps, "being" is more appropriate terminology. As we learned in season 1, Mayakén is

I was not terribly optimistic about BBC’s Dracula when it first began to be advertised. In fact, I have not been very impressed by most iterations of Dracula. However, upon seeing its positive reception in my horror head groups on Facebook (The Horror Hub and Horror Flick Fans – thanks, y'all!), I decided to give it a chance and am happy to say I was not disappointed. The series is composed of three episodes that run for about 90 minutes each, a rather unorthodox but not comp

American Horror Story, wtf? I fully expected AHS: 1984 to be as glorious as the 80s theme it promised, but I must say I was pretty disappointed. The 80s aesthetic, mood, and music were on point, but the storyline was incredibly anti-climactic, rushed, and rather superficial compared to earlier seasons of the show. At least AHS: Apocalypse prepared us for the impending disappointment with its ridiculously lackluster ending. Many AHS fans agree the show has been going downhill

1) Joey's Pick: The Terror (season 1) In an effort to better relate to sociopaths, and because I’m tired of Liz calling me a wuss, I decided to take a more keen interest in the horror genre. Being the unimaginative dork that I am, I perused my many streaming services for a recommendation that seemed like an ideal introduction. While browsing Hulu, I found it. The Terror. “Brilliant,” I said. There is no way that isn’t scary. The title alone sounds like it could easily be lite

As promised, here is part two of our new biweekly series detailing what pop culture the staff writers of PPC consumed during the past two weeks. Don't forget to comment and let us know what you've been watching! Joey's Pick: The Expanse The best news I got this past week was the announcement that the best sci-fi show in the known universe would soon be releasing its fourth season. The Expanse, whose brief cancellation last year was overshadowed by that of Brooklyn 99, was res

Thanks to a brilliant suggestion from one of the writers here at Pussy Pop Culture, the wildly talented Joey Maqueda, we have decided to start a biweekly tradition of posting an article where all three staff writers quickly detail what entertainment texts have captured their attention and why. We also want to encourage you all to let us know what entertainment texts have been on your radar; so, please join our community and comment! We are eager to see what y'all have been co

We've all had the same... we'll call it "fantasy." An old newspaper tumbles across an empty street. Rusted-out cars with skeletons at the wheel. Someone smeared feces all over the local ambulance chaser's billboard. Apocalyptic scenarios are almost comically unlikely, but in our own weird way, we all make preparations. Enough food and water for at least a few days, a first aid kit, a flashlight, and of course, guns. You think about where you'd go first, and who you'd take wit

At first glance, Diablero comes off as just another horror series, but, if given the chance, it will most definitely not disappoint. A mix of Francis Lawrence’s Constantine and Starz’s Ash vs. The Evil Dead, Diablero comes to us from Mexico an exciting whirlwind of magic, spirituality, humor, social commentary, and badass music. Developed by Morena Films for Netflix, Diablero is based on Francisco Haghenbeck’s book El Diablo me obligó (The Devil Forced Me). The story follows

While we have come a long way since Jim Crow, it’s no secret there are still hierarchical power structures that benefit some and oppress others. This is exactly what The Purge franchise rages against by boldly commenting on the sociopolitical state of American society. In his essay “Coloniality and Modertinity/Rationality,” Aníbal Quijano argues that although, Eurocentered colonialism, in the sense of a formal system of political domination by Western European societies over

In 1973, the world was rocked by William Friedkin’s blockbuster hit The Exorcist. One of the few horror films to be recognized by the Academy, The Exorcist took home not one but two Oscars and was nominated for a third in the 1974 Academy Awards. The film stands as a horror classic and undeniable part of the horror genre canon that introduced the religious/spiritual subgenre of horror that seems to be monopolizing the Hollywood market today. Stuart Rosenberg’s Amityville Horr

American Horror Story has taken audiences by storm with seven successful seasons and an upcoming eighth season that promises to bring back the reason so many fell for the chilling show: Jessica Lange. American Horror Story’s massive success can be mostly attributed to the show’s stylistic approach. The show’s creators and writers clearly favor realism, each episode, regardless of the season, functions almost like a short film that employs many of the same genre conventions th

The campiness characteristic of so many 80s horror films is back; the term camp, of course, referring to that associated with parody, exaggeration, theatricality, and humor. Neon and bright coloring, hyperbolic storylines, dark humor, synth music, intentional cheesy gore, and eye-roll-worthy writing have returned to the horror market mostly in B-list form; Netflix and Hulu have been pervaded by these horror flicks reminiscent of cult 80s classics like Re-Animator (1985), The
