In this chilling and hilarious installment of Buster’s Beat, host @pantsbuster welcomes Kelly Kapow (@missscareall / @triviatimebitch), Salem’s own horror queen, haunter, and trivia host. Together they trace Kelly’s journey from spooky childhood obsessions and Freddy Krueger fanfiction to becoming a seasoned pro in the haunt industry, crafting grotesque and unforgettable characters that defy expectations of who gets to be scary.
The episode dives into horror as both art and identity — from Halloween memories and queer awakenings to the enduring camp and terror of slashers, thrillers, and cult classics. Along the way, Buster and Kelly swap stories of shadowcast performances, debate the best gore vs. psychological horror, and laugh about the anxieties (and joys) of trivia showdowns.
Final Girl is a love letter to horror, queerness, and the resilience it takes to keep showing up when the credits roll.
