Description

This week, we're diving into the gloriously gross horror of Sam Raimi's Drag Me to Hell (2009), the ultimate cautionary tale about ambition, where one wrong decision will get you promoted to HELL! Costume designer Isis Mussenden (The Chronicles of Narnia, American Psycho) dresses loan officer Christine (Alison Lohman) in prim pencil skirts and promotion-ready blouses along with Mrs. Ganush's witchcore chic of scarves and handkerchiefs. Plus, we talk early-2000s horror aesthetics, animatronic goats, and why Christine's downfall might just be the most stylish damnation ever put on screen. In this episode, we chat about: Isis Mussenden's inspirations and early-2000s horror palette Christine's corporate-to-cursed costume evolution Mrs. Ganush's grotesque glam and "witch weapon" styling The symbolism of that cursed button Our "Add to Cart" picks: cursed accessories edition Bonus tangents include: Marie's old life working in a bank and her own finance fashion choices (minus the curses) Charmed and Buffy — the Halliwell Sisters get their shoutout Marie's crazy purse collection and "purse of the day" ...and more!
