2023/12/06

It's Giallo time so we, along with film critic Shelagh Rowan-Legg, are headed to Italy for Sergio Martino's Your Vice Is A Locked Room And Only I Have The Key (1972). C/W: sexual assault, incest, racism, and the cat dies. Shelagh offers plenty of political and cultural knowledge of women's issues from the period, while Trace refreshes our memory of Edgar Allan Poe's source material, The Black Cat. Plus: tender queer sex, multiple killers, sheep eyeballs, costume dresses, and a fiery

Hide your ChapStick and get off the damn bridge because we're heading into the world of high strangeness with a look at Mark Pellington's 2002 chiller The Mothman Prophecies (2002). Tagging in for the conversation is returning guest (and Trace's better half) Ari Drew! Join us as we offer a brief primer on cryptids and why us queers often feel a special connection to them, before going all in on this stealth Christmas horror film.

Hard Candy (2005)

Horror Queers ·

2023/11/22

We're wrapping up our look at Toxic Masculinity with David Slade's feature directorial debut, Hard Candy (2005). This secret rape/revenge film features powerhouse performances from Elliot Page and Patrick Wilson and plenty of uncomfortable moments. Plus: comparisons to Promising Young Woman (and Saw X?!), a frank discussion of pedophilia, plenty of strategic framing, and the prequel we want to see. Reference: Hadass S. Wade.

Murder By Numbers (2002) feat. Kill By Kill

Horror Queers ·

2023/11/15

Let's derange the world because the profile doesn't fit the profile, which means that we're covering Barbet Schroeder's 2002 film Murder By Numbers. Tagging in for this lively conversation are Patrick and Gena of the Kill By Kill podcast. Join us as we go all in on this "thriller" that's filled to the brim with queer overtones (courtesy of a baby Ryan Gosling and Michael Pitt), while trying to figure out which of the two main storylines is the more interesting one. Bullock is innocent, though! Plus:

Deadgirl (2008) feat. Dax Ebaben & Mary Beth McAndrews

Horror Queers ·

2023/11/08

Week 2 of Toxic Masculinity month brings probably our most divisive film ever with 2008's Deadgirl. Extreme C/W: rape (and the dog dies!) Thankfully we're joined by two extreme horror fans, Dax Ebaben and Mary Beth McAndrews, who help us ask the important questions. Questions like: Who is this film for? What was the intent? And, most importantly, is it successful? It's an unconventional episode with no easy answers, but it's a great conversation. Questions? Comments? Snark? Connect with the boys on

Funny Games (1997) feat. Justin Nordell

Horror Queers ·

2023/11/01

Buckle up because we're kicking off "Toxic Masculinity Month" with a doozy: Michael Haneke's polarizing 1997 home invasion film Funny Games (but it's okay if you watched the remake instead because they're the exact same film). Helping us parse through these waters is Justin Nordell! Join us as we offer a brief primer on Haneke before going all in on this twisted and cruel little film that holds a mirror up to its audience and makes us question the responsibility of media when it comes to violence

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

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,

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
