Still Scared takes a ramble into the world of the 1985 children's horror classic 'Return to Oz' and the two Oz books it's based on.

In this episode Ren Wednesday and Adam Whybray discuss gender play in the Oz books, the tragic fate of Jack Pumpkinhead, and enforced happiness in the original musical, as they get their teeth into the many strange and uncanny aspects of the world of Oz.

Still Scared talks over 'The Haunting of Alaizabel Cray' by Chris Wooding, and finds that the podcast title has never been more appropriate.

In this episode we discuss the romanticisation of Jack the Ripper, chat about plotting a novel like a D&D campaign, lament the fact that we never became goths, and stop our discussion in the middle to read the creepiest extracts out loud to each other.

The subject matter does also get a bit dark at times, so heads up for references to murder (including one reference to child murder), violence against women, disease, and some grisly monsters.

Tropes abound in this discussion of two children's horror/fantasty films that just could have been better, to be honest.

We get critical in this one, as we discuss transmisogyny and appearance-based morality in The Boxtrolls, and mixed messages and dodgy jokes in Paranorman, but at least people who use electric toothbrushes are represented.
