Description

Scaredy's working the late shift at the cinema. Tonight's schedule? The horror-movie sexual awakenings of yesteryear. Stuffed with steamy recollections of Carrie and Candyman, Scaredy should be in ecstasy but evil horror host Count Calories keeps cutting in on the fun. It's time for Scaredy to face their fears and stop being such a big Scaredy Fat. Come to the movies with Scaredy as they poke fun at fat and queer representation in the horror genre, asking what it means to love a genre that doesn't love you back. We're gonna need a bigger shirt...

High energy and entertaining - though I personally struggled to follow the underlying story.

When he smashes through the fat phobia expressed towards him, what remains is a thought-provoking piece that challenges your inbuilt bias.
