The Perfection (2019) feat. Mae Shults

Horror Queers ·

2023/01/04

Don't adjust your feed: we're redoing Richard Shepard's twisty 2019 secret rape/revenge film, which drew criticism when we covered it in our first year. Joining us is musician and Halloweenies editor Mae Shults for a discussion that veers between heavy, confessional and dumb. We're talking real life sexual assault, pooping our pants and guessing the pop culture moment the film's wig reveal is referencing. Plus: debating the responsibility of art (and other criticisms from reviews), praising the

2022/12/28

Surprise! We're celebrating New Year's by unlocking the Patreon vault and releasing our 2019 episode on the gayest slasher film ever made: Hulu's Into the Dark entry "Midnight Kiss" (yes, it's even gayer than Hellbent). Directed by former Horror Queers guest Carter Smith (see our episode on The People Under the Stairs) and written by queer screenwriter Erlingur Thoroddsen (Rift), "Midnight Kiss" follows a group of gay friends and their "fruit fly" as they are stalked by a mysterious killer wearing

We're celebrating the holidays with a dramatic reading of selected excerpts of Adam Millard's 2014 ebook The Human Santapede, which is pretty much exactly what you expect.

2022/12/21

Give us a glass of water and a couple of lesbians because we're joining two iconic queens Anthony Perkins (yes, that one) and Stephen Sondheim (yes, that one) for an evening of games, bitchery and murder in 1973's The Last of Sheila! Joining us for the conversation is the co-host of the Midnight Mass Podcast: Michael Varrati! We go all in on this complex murder mystery/Hollywood satire filled with a cast of pretty reprehensible characters (in the words of our guest: it's a problematic scenario

Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings (2011)

Horror Queers ·

2022/12/14

Zip up your ski jackets and look for the sanitarium on the ridge because we're talking about the origin story of the Hillicker brothers with Declan O'Brien's 2011 prequel, Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings. Don't worry if you haven't seen the other films; the most confusing part of this movie is keeping its cast of generic (white) actors apart (Vincent or Kyle? Jenna or Kenia?) Thankfully we've got great practical gore to make up for terrible acting and characterizations. Plus: the shocking truth

Horror Queers ·

2022/12/12

We're celebrating the 25th anniversary of Scream 2 (1997) with a special bonus episode outlining twenty-five random reasons we love the horror sequel. From the obvious quotes and iconic chase sequences to the unusual sound cues and songs that Trace can't remember, it was hard to narrow the list down to just 25. But we're guessing that - unlike Mickey's claim - you will be able to see our #1 choice coming. Questions? Comments? Snark? Connect with the boys on Twitter, Instagram, Youtube, Letterboxd,

Get ready for Big Cat action because we're tackling another Val Lewton film: 1942's Cat People. Joining us with incredible insights courtesy of her (forthcoming) book Queer For Fear is Dr. Heather Petrocelli. We're talking about the power and legacy of subtextual queer horror, how Otherness intermingles with queerness, why you shouldn't hate Alice too much (but Oliver needs to die), and the infamous Lewton bus and pool scenes. Plus: film noir lighting, the return of The Seventh Victim's predatory
