Stoker (2013)

Horror Queers ·

2023/08/30

Get ready to play the piano all sexy like because we're discussing Park Chan-wook's English-language debut Stoker, which is based on a screenplay from queer screenwriter (and actor) Wentworth Miller(?!?!). Join us as we discuss the film's journey from a Black List pick to a botched marketing campaign to an even more botched release. This is a shame, because Stoker is a film that oozes so much style that it elevates its baby Dexter plot, even if it could have used about 100% more Nicole Kidman. Plus:

Sleepaway Camp 2: Unhappy Campers (1988)

Horror Queers ·

2023/08/23

Return to camp with Michael A. Simpson's Sleepaway Camp 2: Unhappy Campers (1988) which finds Angela killing according to Aunt Martha's conservative moral code. We're talking about Pamela Springsteen's performance (and Felissa Rose's absence), our love of Ally, and the film's status as a self-referential horror comedy. Plus: the lack of short shorts, poor editing, Molly's end, and debates if the laughs subvert the "trans killer" trope. Reference: > Cervantes, Reyna. "Finding Your Identity at

Pray you don't get lost in the fog because we're heading to Jersey Island to discuss spooky ghost things in Alejandro Amenábar's 2001 film The Others! Joining us for the conversation is Nichole Goble, the host of the Bodies of Horror podcast! Join us as we trace the origins of the film through Tom Cruise(???) and Dimension Films(??????) before going all in on the atmospheric charms of this Gothic horror gem.

Eyes of Laura Mars (1978) feat. Carter Smith

Horror Queers ·

2023/08/02

Grab your camera and get ready to scream because we're talking about Irvin Kerschner's Eyes of Laura Mars (1978). Joining us to discuss the fashion, the photography, and the hot 70s men is director and returning guest Carter Smith. We're obsessed with the glitz and the glamor of this John Carpenter-scripted film, even if we have qualms about the romance between Faye Dunaway's title character and police officer Tommy Lee Jones. Plus: wasting Raul Julia, lesbian models, real life famous fashionistas,

All About Evil (2010) feat. Jesse Krempel

Horror Queers ·

2023/07/26

Don't piss yourself while you stuff the corpses in the attic because we're having a gay old time discussing show business (the business of show) in Joshua Grannell's/Peaches Christ's 2010 horror comedy All About Evil. Joining us for the discussion is Jesse Krempel, the host of the Cult Cinema Circle podcast! Join us as we revisit this campy gem that was very difficult to find until recently. We heap all of the praise on Natasha Lyonne's absolutely unhinged lead performance, while commending Grannell

Psycho (1960)

Horror Queers ·

2023/07/19

After tackling its two sequels, we're finally crossing off a classic with Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho (1960). Turns out we have a ton to say in this supersized episode, which makes sense considering the film is technically masterful, features iconic sequences and boasts two stellar lead performances. Plus: a 'pregnant' production history, Baters and momism, Gus Van Sant's 1998 shot for shot remake, and a variety of (queer) readings of Norman Bates.

Be on the lookout for clues because we're headed back to Escape Room with Adam Robitel's sequel, Tournament of Champions (2021). With the help of returning guest Reyna Cervantes, we're discussing both the Theatrical, as well as the Extended Cut of the film (jump ahead to the ~1hr 10min mark to hear about the new beginning and end!) Expect Minos-levels of conspiracy as we try to figure out the timeline and rationale for the two cuts. Plus: our fave new characters and traps, retconning the original

Don't be a miserable, ungrateful bitch because we're discussing James Wan's 2013 film Insidious: Chapter 2 in preparation for Patrick Wilson's upcoming sequel Insidious: The Red Door! Tagging in for the conversation are the hosts of Shudder's most watched series The Boulet Brothers' Dragula: Dracmorda and Swanthula Boulet! Join us as we try to figure out why a horror film released in 2013 would repurpose the plot of Sleepaway Camp for a modern audience, while appreciating the camp factor of this

Micro Queers: Bad Girl Boogey (2022)

Horror Queers ·

2023/07/04

We're back with a fresh Micro Queers on Australian trans teen filmmaker Alice Maio Mackay's queer slasher film, Bad Girl Boogey (2022). We would have liked more time with these characters (and maybe a longer runtime overall), as well as a stronger killer reveal, but the film's musicality, its DIY aesthetic, and the fact that Mackay has made an unapologetically queer film is worth celebrating.
