Welcome to the inaugural episode of The Vigilante Cannibal Nun as Agony Aunt, a fictional, comedy, horror & SCI FI podcast. Each week, The Vigilante Cannibal Nun, live from limbo as the living dead reads two letters from her emotionally ill-fettered listeners, salivates over their problems, and vomits up solutions, at their expense and for everyone else’s pleasure. Victims send their letters to The Vigilante Cannibal Nun from across time and space, cutting through all categories of Horror and SCI FI genres.We are introduced to The Vigilante Cannibal Nun. She explains that she is the brainchild of the artist, Carol Murphy. Her story was first told in song and verse, in a series of performance films called The Body & Blood, first launched online at https://www.thebodyandblood.co.uk in 2022. The Body & Blood is the story of Maggie Murtagh, a young Irish Country Girl who transmogrifies into The Vigilante Cannibal Nun during the Irish Famine, after the death of her family. She steals from the rich to give to the starving poor; eats the colonisers; becomes an addict; and destroys her soul in the name of revenge. She is the living dead.The first live performance of The Body & Blood was in The Green Room at The Black Box in Belfast before Murphy took the show on a UK and Irish tour in 2023, performing at VAULT Festival in London; The Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival in Belfast; The Open House Festival at The Courthouse in Bangor; The Lyric Lounge in Belfast; and at Smock Alley Theatre in Dublin.The Vigilante Cannibal Nun decided to become an Agony Aunt after becoming the in house agony aunt in the 3rd issue of Ghouls on Film Zine.Her first letter is "All You Need is Blood" from Bloodbath Berta, Vienna circa 1975. She laments the loss of her crazy bat eating artist boyfriend who would only sleep underneath a butchered hedgehog slaughtered with his own teeth at the dawn of an equinox that he kept in his pocket. She asks where she can find another man like him.Her second letter is "Virgin Zombie" from Sarah, an American College Student circa 1968. Sarah has fallen in love with a zombie, and is in fact one herself, after he ate her leg. She is happy in the relationship but can no longer walk. She asks The Vigilante Cannibal Nun for suggestions on moving forward.The Vigilante Cannibal Nun gives them both advice before telling us about next week's podcast episode called "Turn Left, You Bastard" about a woman who has fallen in love with her sat nav; and "Don't Touch The Nylon" about a woman who has fallen for a man who is always on the cusp of murdering her whilst wearing American Tan tights on his head.REFERENCES:CAROL MURPHY / The Vigilante Cannibal Nun onlinehttps://www.thebodyandblood.co.ukhttps://www.instagram.com/thevigilantecannibalnun/https://x.com/thecannibalnunhttps://www.facebook.com/carollouisemurphy7/https://vimeo.com/carolmurphyshowreelhttps://youtube.com/@thevigilantecannibalnunGHOULS ON FILM https://www.ghoulsonfilmbelfast.comVIENNESE ACTIONISMhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viennese_ActionismWHO AM I? by Snoop Dogg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2soGJXQAQecKNEECAPhttps://www.kneecap.ieFATHER TED Comedy TV Serieshttps://www.channel4.com/programmes/father-tedNIGHT OF THE LIVING DEADby George A.
