spooky tuesday is a (now not so new!) podcast where we’re breaking down all of our favorite slashers, thrillers, monster movies and black comedies on the new scariest day of the week.

we know you’re reading supernatural romance novels in swedish, stephenie meyer!!! there are way too many similarities between twilight and let the right one in (2008) for it to be a coincidence, but there is at least one major difference. namely, one has sparkles, and the other has a sparkling array of trans and queer characters which makes it the perfect way to kick off our pride month lineup. that’s right, the john ajvide lindqvist project follows the sacred rule of vampire media: it’s made for the gays — but that doesn’t mean we don’t have ideas about how it could be even gayer. come for the trans vampires, but stay for what we’re pretty sure are gay dads.

give spooky tuesday a listen on apple podcasts, spotify, iheart radio, or stitcher

Ika from Ika i Rutan a very weird Swedish kids show from the 80s. I loved this as a kid and can honestly say that her look was a huge influence on me. I love her.

Enjoy this obscure thing.

Let the Right One In (Tomas Alfredson, 2008)

Cast: Kåre Hedebrant, Lina Leandersson, Per Ragnar, Henrik Dahl, Karin Bergquist, Peter Carlberg, Ika Nord, Mikael Rahm, Karl-Robert Lindgren. Screenplay: John Ajvide Lindqvist, based on his novel. Cinematography: Hoyte Van Hoytema. Production design: Eva Norén. Film editing: Tomas Alfredson, Dino Jonsäter. Music: Johan Söderqvist. 

For those blog-readers getting ready to outfit little Jake or Jenny with plastic fangs and felt cape, let me remind you that the vampire legend, with its penetration and exchange of fluids, is always and invariably about sex, or the fear of it. Even when the vampire is 12 years old. Or maybe especially when the vampire is a 12-year-old girl who moves in next door to a 12-year-old boy on the cusp of adolescence. Of course, as a vampire, Eli (Lina Leandersson) is going to be 12 years old forever, and she tells Oskar (Kåre Hedebrant) that she's not a girl, raising a note of ambiguity: Does she mean that she's not a girl but a vampire, or that she's transgender or even neuter? (There's a flash of nudity which suggests that she has undergone some sort of genital trauma.) No matter, for the film is really about the relationship that develops between a boy who is being tormented by bullies and a vampire/girl with the power to put an end to his tormentors. Let the Right One In is such a richly textured film that it transcends its horror-film elements, its bloodlettings and its suspense-engendering narrative. A good deal of the screenplay is devoted to giving the secondary characters lives (and deaths) of their own, including Oskar's estranged parents and the man who lives with, and serves, Eli. Even incidental details, such as Eli's odd possessions, and the ending, Oskar on a train, Eli apparently in a box beside him, are tantalizing. No surprise that the film was remade in the United States as Let Me In (Matt Reeves, 2010) and became the basis for a TV series in 2022.
