We end the year on a jolly high note by unpacking the 2018 treat “Slay Belles” — the last guilty pleasure before the show’s reboot in 2023.
EPISODE SUMMARY
For this final edition of Guilty Pleasures hosted by Scott Murphy, we ran a poll on social media platforms to see which film we would look at in our latest Xmas horror edition. Would it be 2010’s Sint or 2018’s Slay Belles? In something of a surprise, “Spooky” Dan Walker’s feature debut Slay Belles emerged victorious in a close vote.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE: “SLAY BELLES” WITH MJ DIXON
Alongside NHE host Scott Murphy, we have one of our favorite regular guest hosts, writer/director/slasher movie encyclopedia MJ Dixon.
Over the course of the episode, the pair talk about the wild tonal inconsistencies in Slay Belles, how Krampus looks like a werewolf in this film (not necessarily a bad thing), and how Barry Bostwick steals the film. Plus, a whole lot more!
Lastly, host Scott Murphy wants to thank everyone who has tuned into any of the 30 editions of this podcast or joined in on any of the episode votes. Though he’s stepping down, he’s thrilled the show is continuing on in the new year with all-new hosts. We here at Morbidly Beautiful are very excited to celebrate more amazing guilty pleasures with you in 2023!
Slay Belles is streaming for free on Tubi.
