Horror Queers ·

2024/02/07

We apologize for the intelligence of our remarks, but we're delving into every gay man's worst nightmare (aging) in Albert Lewin's The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945). Tagging in for the conversation is writer and filmmaker Amanda Jane Stern, who turns out to be an enormous fan of the source material! Join us as we go all in on this adaptation of Oscar Wilde's only novel, but not before discussing the tragedy that is Wilde's life. We then discuss Hollywood's "straightening" of this very queer story,

Re-Animator (1985)

Horror Queers ·

2024/01/31

It's time to revisit H.P. Lovecraft with a dip into horror comedy/exploitation territory and Stuart Gordon's Re-Animator (1985). C/W: sexual assault and the cat dies (again and again) We're praising Jeffrey Combs' perfect performance, the tricky tonal balance (including the Dr. Hill/Megan assault), and the gory practical FX in this mad doctor film. Plus: a queer reading of Herbert and Dan, multiple editions, naked fight scenes, and why the film deserves to be seen with a crowd. References: Raine

The Roommate (2011) feat. Ali Chappell

Horror Queers ·

2024/01/24

Put on your best fedora and pull that cat out of the dryer because we're discussing Christian E. Christiansen's teeny-bopper ripoff of Single White Female, The Roommate (2011)! Tagging in for the conversation is one of the film's superfans: Ali Chappell. Join us as we try (TRY) to figure out who thought this movie was a good idea, because nearly nothing in this shameless ripoff works. From it's incredibly stupid lead character to its complete lack of tension, it's a real misfire. God bless Leighton

The Covenant (2006)

Horror Queers ·

2024/01/17

Q: What do you get when you cross The Lost Boys with The Craft but make it awful? A: J.S. Cardone and Renny Harlin's The Covenant (2006), which features hot boy witches throwing globs of CGI semen at each other! We have so much to say about this nonsense, including its overly complicated mythology and self-serious tone, villainous bisexual king Chase (played by Sebastian Stan), thankless damsels in distress, and addiction/gay allegories (paging Buffy S06). Plus: insects vs spiders, throwing the

Joining us for this wild ride is Josh Hurtado, who caught the film on the big screen back in the 90s! Together we're unpacking 32 cm of cock, writer Ralf König's source material, the Mackeroni/Billy relationship, Babette's pronouns, Psycho homages, ridiculously stereotypical names, and the surprising progressiveness of this 90s film.

Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988) feat. Bryan Christopher

Horror Queers ·

2024/01/03

Put on your best white suit because we've got a date with a bloody mattress in Tony Randel's Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988). Tagging in for the discussion is our forever-Hellraiser guest: Bryan Christopher! Join us as we heap all the deserve praise on Clare Higgins' Julia Cotton, who finally gets her due in this spectacular sequel. Hellbound astounds with a bigger budget and more world building, but sometimes suffers from an unfocused kitchen sink approach that the first film wisely avoided. Plus:

Best of 2023 + Bloopers

Horror Queers ·

2023/12/27

We're wrapping up the year with a look back at 2023. How do we feel about the state of horror and this year's trends? Which films dominated the cultural discussion, killed at the box office or got buried on streamers? Then we reflect on the state of our podcast (top episodes, ones that deserve more attention and our fave Patreon episodes). Finally, we break down our top 15 films of 2023, plus a few honorable mentions. And because it wouldn't be Horror Queers without a couple of fuck ups, we have a

2023/12/20

We're tired of pretending that there's no such thing as a Rom Com Zom Musical! The time has finally come to discuss John McPhail's Anna and the Apocalypse (2017), which has charming Scottish actors, a Canadian choreographer, and three (?!) different versions. Plus: Joe's issue with villainous Mr. Savage, our fave songs, the sad Ryan Gosling connection, nearly good queer representation, and why we need more horror movie musicals pleeeeease Questions?
