Spooky Season is officially here, and we’re kicking off our “Hot Vampire” series with Joel Schumacher’s cult classic, The Lost Boys. Join Spencer and Elizabeth as they ride into Santa Carla to sink their teeth into the film’s unforgettable costumes, designed by Susan Becker. From David’s iconic vampire coven dripping in leather and attitude to The Frog Brothers, Michael's earring, the Jim Morrison inspiration, and Schumacher’s unmistakable designer flair—this episode celebrates the wild, rebellious style that made The Lost Boys immortal.

This week on The Art of Costume Podcast, we’re setting off on an adventure with a true classic—Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. Spencer is joined by the legendary costume designer who first brought Indiana Jones to life, Professor Deborah Nadoolman Landis. Together, they dig into the origins of this cinematic icon—from collaborating with Steven Spielberg and dressing Harrison Ford to crafting the now-legendary look, the fedora heard ’round the world, and...Snakes. Why did it have to be snakes?But beware… the adventure doesn’t end there! After this conversation, Elizabeth and Spencer open the tomb on our coveted Spooky Season lineup—revealing the chilling films that will carry us through October.

Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered, we have fought our way to the Labyrinth episode of The Art of Costume Podcast! This week, Elizabeth and Spencer are joined by special guest cohost and Labyrinth expert, Ava Youssefi, for a journey into the Goblin King’s maze. Together, they dive into Jim Henson’s fantastical underground world—where muppets reign supreme, a certain oversized fuzzy friend steals our hearts, and Sarah’s dreamy costumes guide her on a quest to save Toby. Of course, we couldn’t talk Labyrinth without the unforgettable Jareth—played by none other than David Bowie—whose glitter, glam, and… codpiece left an impression as legendary as the film itself.So grab your ball gown, practice your best riddle-solving skills, and join us for a magical episode filled with music, mischief, and costumes that make this cult classic shine.
