Midnight Matinee

From the monstrous to the macabre, let The Wanderer take you on a journey through the uncanny campuses of 20th century horror.

Episodes

Season 1

  • Episode 1: Monster on the Campus (1958)

    Cringe at the lack of PPE! Hiss at the anachronistic mores the Doctor held even before he was bitten by an ancient fish! The Wanderer brings us the 1958 horror “Monster On Campus,” where poor lab standards and insufficient hygiene transform Dr. David Blake into a prehistoric beast.

  • Episode 2: Carrie (1976)

    The Wanderer brings us the 1977 adaptation of Stephen King’s “Carrie.” Even with the changing notions of normal high school behavior in the decades since the movie’s release, Carrie remains a sympathetic character — but what’s up with all that denim?

  • Episode 3: Scream 2 (1997)

    The Wanderer provides Wes Craven’s 1997 movie Scream 2, which features Scream’s final girl, Sydney Prescott, at her new university. When it comes to the college experience, it turns out that murder isn’t that fun an extracurricular.
