We proudly debut the female-driven “Not Your Final Girl” podcast on our network, beginning with a discussion of the ‘true story’ horror sub genre.
We began our podcast as three female friends — Ariel Dyer, Candace Sluder, and Gaby Castellanos — who happened to love horror, each growing up thinking we were “the only one.” Though we each have our different sub genres we gravitate towards, horror has always kept us up at night (in a good way!), and this podcast is both our love letter to the genre and a celebration of female friendship. Now, we get together every couple of weeks to yell about horror, and, whether in agreement or disagreement, listen and learn from each other.
We firmly believe that the horror genre has a diverse fanbase and that this diversity deserves to be celebrated so much more. We seek out different voices to interview and hope to provide unique perspectives.
Our drive for intersectionality aligns well with the Morbidly Beautiful ethos. We love that MB is a nonprofit that gives back to the horror community, and are thrilled to be a part of the network!
