Hellraiser 3: Hell on Earth (1992) feat. Bryan...

Horror Queers ·

2021/01/13

Our month of 3s continues with Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth, the third entry in the Hellraiser franchise and who better to join us than mega fan Bryan Christopher? In the 1992 Anthony Hickox-directed film, the action shifts from the UK to New York (cough North Carolina cough) as Doug Bradley's Pinhead channels Freddy and Wishmaster while tempting a playboy club owner, a homeless runaway and an ambitious reporter. Expect another troubled production, the first use of CGI in a horror film and not one,

Scream 3 (2000)

Horror Queers ·

2021/01/06

The third year of the pod kicks off with our annual tradition: a Scream film! Scream 3 (2000) is arguably the least popular film in the franchise, but it's due for a critical reappraisal as we unpack all of the its challenges, including no script, an in-demand Neve Campbell, post-Columbine timing, a move to comedic Hollywood and studio interference (The Weinsteins again!) Thankfully we have Parker Posey, Patrick Dempsey's luscious hair, an ambitious - if misguided - attempt to retcon the root of all

The Cell (2000)

Horror Queers ·

2020/12/23

Happy holidays, everyone! We usually take this week off, but we had an extra episode in the Horror Queers archives that we recorded back in October for the Nightstream Film Festival, and we thought we’d release it as a little holiday treat for all of you. That treat comes in the form of a discussion of all things J. Lo in Tarsem Singh's The Cell! Join us as we enter the mind of a killer and try to figure out whether the film really is "style over substance," defend Lopez against the haters and

Big, flashing SPOILER WARNINGS for the film, as well as We Summon The Darkness. Also: TRIGGER WARNING.

Krampus (2015) feat. Bobby Torrez

Horror Queers ·

2020/12/02

We're kicking off the holiday season by hunkering down in a snow globe with YouTube star Bobby Torrez and a screening of Michael Dougherty's Krampus (2015). The film has an all-star cast (Toni Collette! Adam Scott! Allison Tolman! David Koechner!), but doesn't manage to nail its balance of tones like Trick 'r Treat did. Thankfully the film has a great score (suck it Joe!) and a fantastically unnerving jack in the box named Der Klown, who Trace cannot stop jizzing over. Plus: Krampus as an LGBT icon,
