Horror Queers ·

2023/10/26

It's time to wrap up Part 1 of Season 3 of Chucky, so that means we've got to find out what Jennifer Tilly is up to (hello and goodbye, Nia Vardalos!) and attend a White House-set Halloween party, complete with a killer chandelier!

Halloween 2 (2009) Director's Cut

Horror Queers ·

2023/10/25

Look out for Ghost Mama and avoid death-magnet Laurie Strode because we are talking about Rob Zombie's much maligned Halloween 2 (2009). C/W: the dog dies. The film has problems, but we're fond of its all-star cast (Brea Grant! Margot Kidder! Nurse Octavia Daniels!), as well as the film's surprisingly nuanced consideration of Final Girl PTSD. Plus: MVP Danielle Harris and Annie's powerful death scene, human caricature Dr. Loomis, a misogynistic strip club scene, and all of the changes that makes the

Micro Queers: Herd (2023)

Horror Queers ·

2023/10/23

Don't give that kid your whistle because we're discussing Steven Pierce's queer zombie(ish) action horror film Herd (2023), which is currently available on VOD. Join us as we discuss the ways in which the film subverts standard zombie tropes in favor of a more human-focused story, led by two solid performances from Ellen Adair and Mitzi Akaha. There's a few pacing issues, but overall this is a solid entry into queer horror canon. Questions? Comments? Snark? Connect with the boys on Twitter,

Chucky Queers: S03E03 "Jennifer's Body"

Horror Queers ·

2023/10/19

It's time to play catch-up with Tiffany and Nica in what's essentially an episode made up of a long series of flashbacks. We also get to find out exactly why Chucky is in the White House this season, and it's about as ridiculous as you'd expect! Questions? Comments? Snark?

Apt Pupil (1998) feat. Jenn Adams

Horror Queers ·

2023/10/18

Keep the cat away from that Nazi and get ready to separate the art from the artist because we're discussing Bryan Singer's 1998 Stephen King adaptation Apt Pupil! Joining us for the discussion is The Losers' Club podcast co-host Jenn Adams! Join us as we discuss the long road to getting this adaptation made before delving into the Bryan Singer of it all in an admittedly difficult and heavy conversation. Plus: the tragedy of Brad Renfro, David Schwimmer and his mustache wig, Ann Dowd(?!?!) and the

2023/10/16

Pee Yew! It may smell bad in Jesse and Jade's van, but our brand new audio commentary - recorded live for Soho Horror Fest back in July - is as fresh as Tiffany's Swedish meatballs. Watch along with us as heap praise on Jennifer Tilly, debate why actors and directors distance themselves from horror, talk dolls vs human stand-ins, Don Mancini's meta humor, and debate if we want to see Heigl and Stabile return to the franchise.

Horror Queers ·

2023/10/11

A Friday the 13th in October? This requires celebrating! Accompanied by Mike Muncer of The Evolution of Horror podcast, we return to Camp Blood to chat Bag Head Jason and the scariest Friday film: Part 2! We're talking Alice's ice pick murder, gay actor Tom McBride, skinny dipping, shit panties, a bombastic Manfredini score, Miner's excellent direction, and Ginny's epic last act chase sequence.

Chucky Queers: S03E01 "Murder at 1600"

Horror Queers ·

2023/10/05

With a new season of Don Mancini's Chucky, we're back on the recap beat. S03 kicks off with a mostly White House-set episode that introduces President Devon Sawa (and Lara Jean Chorostecki as the First Lady!) with only brief moments with our trio of kids (who are all social media stars now?) It's tough to guess where we're going, but we're anticipating The Omen III, pay-off on the dead sibling storyline, and a trip to the Capitol for Devon, Lexy, and a suddenly beefy Jake. Questions?

Sleepy Hollow (1999)

Horror Queers ·

2023/10/04

Watch your head because we're kicking off spooky season (and our 250th episode!) with a look at Tim Burton's extremely Halloween-y classic Sleepy Hollow (1999)! From Johnny Depp's effeminate interpretation of Ichabod Crane to Miranda Richardson's devilishly campy climactic performance, this movie has it all! Join us as we praise, well, pretty much everything about Tim Burton's ode to Hammer Horror (and Disney's animated version of the story). But hey, the movie kills a kid! Plus: Elfman's score, bad

Stranger by the Lake (2013)

2023/09/27

We're wrapping up Erotic Thriller month with the gayest text of all: French writer/director Alain Guiraudie's Stranger by the Lake (2013). This is one of Joe's favorite queer horror texts because it covers so many topics: cruising, sex and death, voyeurism, body image, gay microcosms, STIs, toxic relationship, homophobia, and gay friendships. And that's before we tackle the unsimulated sex, discuss using condoms for blowjobs, debate the ambiguous ending(s), and cringe over pervy Eric. Plus: finding

2023/09/22

Put on a coat and get home before midnight because we're discussing Jacqueline Castel's lesbian werewolf romance My Animal (2023). Join us as we sing the praises of Castel's eye for aesthetics and Bobbi Salvör Menuez's lead performance, while lamenting the film's extended runtime and muted payoff. Still, there's enough here to earn a (slight) recommendation, as it features another solid performance from Bodies Bodies Bodies' Amandla Stenberg. Questions? Comments? Snark?

Get ready for a world of wet because we're continuing our month of erotic thrillers with a look at the Wachowski sisters' 1996 ovinal queer classic Bound! Tagging in for the conversation is the founder of Salem Horror Fest: Kay Lynch! Join us as we kick things off with a brief discussion on the differences between noir and neo-noir before going all in on the casting drama that nearly cost us Jennifer Tilly! Then it's all (and we mean all) fair game as we analyze this masterpiece of queer
