Camp Conviction - Addams Family Values (1993)

This week, we sink our claws into Ginger Snaps (2000), a dark, coming-of-age horror story that turns puberty into a full-blown monster movie. What starts as a tale of two outcast sisters quickly spirals into a blood-soaked exploration of transformation, identity, and the brutal side of growing up and growing apart.We’re talking werewolves, womanhood, and why Ginger Snaps still stands as one of the most honest and gnarliest depictions of teenage horror ever made.It’s moody, messy, and magnificently macabre...just how we like it.Timestamps5:21 - Negronomicon14:41 - Crit1:04:50 - Final CurlsGems from Ep. 114<ul><li>The Mummy (1999)</li><li>The Mummy Returns (2001)</li><li>Scream 5 (2022)</li><li>Scream VI (2023)</li><li>Ready or Not (2019)</li><li>The Family Plan (2023)</li><li>The Family Plan 2 (2025)</li><li>The Deliverance (2024)</li><li>The Whale (2022)</li><li>Rental Family (2025)</li><li>The Mummy (2017)</li><li>The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)</li><li>Twilight (2008)</li><li>Romeo Must Die (2000)</li><li>Paper Mario (2001)</li><li>The Mummy (1932)</li><li>Frankenstein (2025)</li><li>Frankenstein (1931)</li><li>Ginger Snaps (2000)</li><li>Trick r’ Treat (2007)</li><li>She’s the Man (2006)</li><li>Freddy vs. Jason (2003)</li><li>American Mary (2012)</li><li>Carrie (2002)</li><li>Carrie (upcoming, television series)</li><li>Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed (2004)</li><li>Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning (2004)</li><li>Final Destination 3 (2006)</li><li>Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (2001)</li><li>Smallville (2001)</li><li>Edward Scissorhands (1990)</li><li>Pleasantville (1998)</li><li>The Monstrous Feminine (Barbara Creed, Routledge, 1993, Print)</li><li>Being Human (2008, television series)</li><li>Van Helsing (2004)</li><li>An American Werewolf in London (1981)</li><li>Jennifer’s Body (2009)</li><li>Heavenly Creatures (1994)</li><li>Yellowjackets (2021, television series)</li><li>Cube (1997)</li><li>Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon (2013, video game)</li><li>Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD (2024, video game)</li></ul><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/scarycritpod">Support the show</a>
