Episode Details

This is my 61th episode and my theme of the month is Manic March, where we analyze the manic female archetype in horror.

The protagonist May, is characterized as "manic" primarily through her sudden, drastic shifts in energy and her increasingly erratic, obsessive behavior as her mental state deteriorates. While she begins the film as painfully shy and socially anxious, her "manic" qualities emerge as a response to repeated rejection.
