The Faculty (1998) feat. Pissi Myles

Horror Queers ·

2021/05/12

We're sticking with high school outsiders as we revisit Robert Rodriguez's The Faculty (1998). We're joined by Pissi Myles of My Spooky Gay Family podcast to discuss all of the film's many, MANY queer elements, courtesy of screenwriter Kevin Williamson. Aside from the homages to classic sci-fi, we tackle queer coding in Stokely and Casey, question why Zeke is such an asshole and absolutely rip into the terrible finale, which betrays nearly every character. Plus: debating the Rodriguez vs Williamson

Horror Queers ·

2021/05/05

Prep your Lydia from Beetlejuice cosplay and channel your inner Carrie because this week were delving into Marina Sargenti's direct-to-video film Mirror Mirror (1990). CW: the dogs die. Written by sisters Annette and Gina Cascone, the film is almost entirely made by and starring women, including the fabulously named Rainbow Harvest, Karen Black and The Munsters' Yvonne De Carlo (in a very Tangina from Poltergeist-esque role). Up for discussion: being picked last for sports, shitty high school

The Forsaken (2001) feat. Paul Etheredge

Horror Queers ·

2021/04/28

Protect your wallets from suspicious drifters because we're ending April with a boring, unsexy vampire road trip movie: J.S. Cardone'sThe Forsaken! Joining us for this torturous venture is Hellbent director Paul Etheredge! Join us as we try to determine whether the film is unintentionally homoerotic or just plain bro-y. We'll delve into Simon Rex's '90s porn career, discuss some of our own porn preferences and discuss the heavy vampirism-as-AIDS metaphor the film incorporates. A discussion of The

Silent Hill (2006) feat. Pod Mortem

Horror Queers ·

2021/04/21

This week on the pod, keep an ear out for the air siren because we're headed to Silent Hill (2006) for its 15th anniversary. Along for the ride are Renee, Travis and John Paul of Pod Mortem, who provide both game expertise and disdain for the presence of Sean Bean's Chris (we love the actor, but why is he here?!) Up for discussion: how director Christophe Gans scored the gig, how writer Roger Avary paid homage to AND overcomplicated the game's plot and grievances about the 2+ hour runtime. Plus:

Horror Queers ·

2021/04/15

Don't get excited! This isn't a full episode on Wes Craven's Scream 4 (2011). It's simply an acknowledgement that the film, which is very important to us, is celebrating its tenth anniversary. And so, in advance of our full length episode next January, here's a taste of why we love Scream 4. Questions? Comments? Snark?

The Silence of the Lambs (1991) feat. Reyna Cervantes

Horror Queers ·

2021/04/14

The lambs have stopped screaming so we're going all-in on Jonathan Demme's critically-acclaimed and Oscar-winning film The Silence of the Lambs. Joining us is Reyna Cervantes, the co-host of the Horror In Session podcast! In what is an admittedly unorthodox episode for us, we eschew a traditional plot summary in favor of a more analytical episode, looking back at the film's development while tackling the transphobic elements of Buffalo Bill and the impact it has had on the trans community in the 30

The Innocents (1961)

2021/04/07

This week on the pod, we're headed back to Bly Manor with Jack Clayton's 1961 classic, The Innocents (see also: last year's Patreon episode on The Haunting of Bly Manor). This classic Gothic Horror film is reminiscent of Diabolique, Rebecca and The Haunting and has a strong queer connection thanks to screenwriter Truman Capote, whom we discuss at length, including Trace’s hatred of Holly Golightly. Plus: an influential 15th century picture book, Cinemascope challenges, the genesis of Austin Powers,

The Skulls (2000) feat. ImmortalGraves

Horror Queers ·

2021/03/24

We're in the mood for a trashy secret society thriller, which is too bad because Rob Cohen's The Skulls (2000) ain't it. Helping us overcome our amnesia about what exactly happens in this snooze fest is Twitch host extraordinaire Steffi (aka ImmortalGraves). Predictably things get a little silly as we tackle robot thesis projects, Leslie Bibb's career, and rich white people nonsense like rowing and lacrosse. Plus: Commemorative film tattoos, dumbwaiter horror, and ridiculous character names that we
