Saturday Cinema
A safe place for us to explore our darkest fears …
And society’s as well. Which means it’s probably no surprise that most horror movies center around women, where the only survivor is the most chaste;(cough cough) bad girls don’t get to live I guess.
So, if you need a break, if you want to see the magic and power of women reflected on your screen, then check out the curated list of “bad girls” below!
I’ve added a recipe inspired by each film so you can have something to snack on while you think of how you wanna chow down on the patriarchy.
I mean, fill your tummy.
Flux Gourmet: Chocolate Bundt Cake
I think the best way to describe this film is ummm weird and beautiful. Driven by the noises that food makes outside of us and inside of us as well. Told through the eyes of a humble writer. Whip up a chocolate bundt cake and settle in for at the very least an interesting time. b
The Love Witch: Victoria Sponge Cake
Love witches? Love cake? Then this post is a no brainer. What are you waiting for ?!
Hellbender: Conifer Hot Toddy with Rose Hips and Ginger
Hellbender is the perfect late night folk horror you’ve been looking for! And while you watch it, try out this foraged Conifer Hot Toddy, the perfect cocktail to make on a chilly day.
A Midsommar Snack
It’s time for dinner and a movie. Tonight we are featuring one of my favorite movies, Midsommar, plus a little Swedish treat to balance the decadence of food seen in the film!
Carrie: Raspberry Blackout Cake
Carrie feels like a film that needs no introductions. But, if you haven’t seen it get ready for one of the most iconic coming-of-age stories along with a very chic chocolate cake with a much for subtle red vibe.
Nina Forever: Surprise Bloody Cake
Make a bloody great cake as you ponder what it’s like when you cannot get rid of the literal ghost of an ex!
Satanic Panic: BBQ Pizza with Crispy Cauliflower
This horror comedy is self-aware enough to deliver the right mixture of laughs, gross-outs and demon-tinged ridiculousness to please its intended audience of gorehounds and genre geeks.
Scream: For Popcorn!
Look, I know a popcorn recipe isn’t going to blow your mind but how can I not talk about popcorn when it’s part of such an iconic scene? Anyways how are you going to watch any movie without whipping up this snack first?!
