Horror Queers ·

2021/12/10

In this special Frightgown exclusive from June 2021, Joe interviews the godfather of queer horror, Professor Harry M. Benshoff, about his definitive text, Monsters in the Closet, as well as why queer horror has exploded in recent years, iconic films from each decade and his favorite under the radar queer horror text (hint: it's an early pre-cursor to Saw?!)

Fear No Evil (1981) feat. Movie Oubliette

Horror Queers ·

2021/12/01

Dress in your best antichrist drag because we’re talking about the absolutely wild (and frequently nonsensical) Fear No Evil (1981). Along for the ride are Dan and Conrad from Movie Oubliette, making this a truly international podcast experience across four countries and three continents. C/W: the dog dies. Up for debate: is this film homophobic or is it a condemnation of the damaging effects of religion? Is it a Christmas or an Easter movie? Is director Frank LaLoggia using the film to work out

The Seventh Victim (1943) feat. David Demchuk

Horror Queers ·

2021/11/24

Stay away from the wine because we, along with celebrated queer author David Demchuk, are covering our first Val Lewton film:The Seventh Victim (1943). The HEAVILY queer coded text is a nice alternative to our Universal Monster films, though we recommend having a comedy for when you finish because this movie is grim and nihilistic! Also, should we become Satanists? Because the Palladists don't seem that bad! Up for discussion: disdain for the male characters, Lewton's classic "cat jump" sequence,
