We spent June discussing genderfluid dinosaurs, evil weaves and queer-coded hitchhikers, and we’re kicking off July with a discussion of the Sleepaway Camp of it all in James Wan‘s 2013 sequel Insidious: Chapter 2.
Insidious: Chapter 2 sees Renai (Rose Byrne) and Josh (Patrick Wilson) Lambert recovering from their showdown with evil spirits that possessed their son Dalton (Ty Simpkins) and are ready for their lives to return to normal. However, something still is off with Josh, who — unbeknown to Renai — is possessed by the mysterious entity that followed him out of the Further at the end of the first film. In order to free Josh’s soul and finally defeat the malevolent forces around them, Lorraine Lambert (Barbara Hershey) and her ghost-hunting friends investigate the past to save her family’s future.

Episode 237: Insidious: Chapter 2 (2013) feat. The Boulet Bros.
Don’t be a miserable, ungrateful bitch because we’re discussing James Wan’s 2013 film Insidious: Chapter 2 in preparation for Patrick Wilson’s upcoming sequel Insidious: The Red Door! Tagging in for the conversation are the hosts of Shudder’s most watched series The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula: Dracmorda and Swanthula Boulet!
Join us as we try to figure out why a horror film released in 2013 would repurpose the plot of Sleepaway Camp for a modern audience, while appreciating the camp factor of this fascinatingly wacky sequel. What makes sense? What doesn’t? We try really hard to figure it out!
Plus: a dub job for the ages, baby stunts, cheating lesbian mamas, true San Francisco realness and some of the best embalming techniques you’re likely to find in a horror film. It’s gonna be a cisgustingly good time!
