The Happening (2008) feat. Lindsay Traves

Horror Queers ·

2026/04/22

Prepare for a colossal culling and try to stay ahead of the wind because we're discussing M. Night Shyamalan's much-maligned film The Happening (2008) in celebration of Earth Day! Tagging in for the conversation is Pajiba senior critic Lindsay Traves.Join us as we offer up not a defense of the film, but rather a desire to see a paradigm shift in the way people view it (meaning: we want you to dislike it for the "right" reasons). This is Shyamalan's self-proclaimed "best B-movie you’ve ever seen"

The Mummy (1932)

Horror Queers ·

2026/04/15

Don't open that sarcophagus and prepare the fainting couch because we're discussing Karl Freund's The Mummy (1932).Continuing the tradition of Universal Monster films, this Boris Karloff chiller is short and sweet, but we think it has one of the best female characters in Zita Johann's Helen/Princess Anck-es-en-Amon. Plus: hating on David Manners' Frank; comparisons to Stephen Sommers and Tom Cruise's remakes; Karloff's painful (but great) make-up effects; and a queer reading about hiding who you

Slither (2006)

Horror Queers ·

Pack your box lunch and hand us a piece of that possum over there because we're talking James Gunn's hilariously goopy directorial debut Slither (2006) for its 20th(!!!) anniversary!Join us as we lament the box office bomb status of this clever little creature feature (you better believe we were both in the theater back in 2006, though!) and laud the impressive practical effects on display. Plus: marveling at the Brenda blob, gagging (literally) at the Society-esque Grant Grant blob, laughing at

Remove your clothes, jump through that fire and dance around the maypole because we're finally discussing Robin Hardy's 1973 folk horror classic The Wicker Man!

Lace up your yellow chucks and rip that wedding dress because we are revisiting Radio Silence's Ready or Not (2019).Starring Scream Queen Samara Weaving (in her break-out role), the "Explode The Rich" horror comedy is as good as ever (Trace) or even better than better (Joe). Plus: Grace as a "Final Girl", a cast of Canadians, speculations about the mythology, and the original ending that would have been completely unacceptable. Questions? Comments? Snark?

Grab your ladder because we're headed to NY to ride the subway with the Core Four in Radio Silence's sequel to the requel, Scream VI (2023).Obviously this is a megasized episode because we have *thoughts.* Thoughts on the killers, thoughts on who survives, thoughts on the best chase sequences and how much (or little) each character gets to do.Plus: an absent Sidney, the return of Skeet Ulrich, the Stab shrine, and all of those homages to Scream 2.

Joining us for the conversation is Hammer Time podcast co-host Becky Darke!Join us as we marvel at all of the research Eggers did to ensure maximum authenticity, crafting a period film thats as scary as it is stomach-churning. That it all ends in a (somewhat debatable) "good for her" ending is just the icing

Doppelganger (1993)

Cue the green & red lighting and the KNB effects because we are talking about the absolutely *wild* 1993 film, Doppelganger.Starring 17 year old emancipated minor Drew Barrymore, writer/director Avi Nesher's curious oddity is "DePalma meets Argento in the guise of a Lifetime film". Filled with gay extras and capital-A acting from the supporting cast, Doppelganger is one bizarre creative decision after another from beginning to (absolutely gonzo) end.
