Horror Queers ·

2020/07/29

To celebrate the 35th anniversary of quintessential queer horror film Fright Night, the boys, along with special guest (and FN super fan) Peaches Christ, head to the suburbs along with our hunky live-in-carpenter, our collection of knit sweaters and an entire wall full of clocks. Things get personal as Peaches shares her experience of working with Stephen Geoffreys, Joe confesses that the Tom Holland film is the genesis of his journey into queer horror and Trace discloses why Evil Ed's story arc

The Old Dark House (1932) feat. Kate Graham

2020/07/22

Pack your umbrella because we're braving bucketfuls of rain in the Welsh countryside as we make our way to James Whale's 1932 film The Old Dark House! Joining us for a threesome is Kate Graham, the co-host of the Stop! Horror Time! podcast. Join us as we enter the House Femm and meet all of its kooky queer characters and sit down for a lovely dinner of roast beef and potatoes. Enjoy it while it lasts, though, because it won't be long before the mute butler Morgan (Boris Karloff) breaks into the

What Lies Beneath (2000)

Horror Queers ·

2020/07/15

We're traveling to a breezy lakeside in Vermont to check in with recent empty-nester Michelle Pfeiffer and her totally not-a-murderer husband Harrison Ford in Robert Zemeckis' 'What Lies Beneath', which turns 20 this week! Join us as we both marvel at Zemeckis' fantastic (if overlong) homage to Hitchcock ('Rear Window'? Check. 'Vertigo'? Check. 'Psycho'? Check, check, check!), praise Pfeiffer's mesmerizing performance and discuss how the film can be viewed differently in a post #MeToo world (there's

May (2002) feat. Katie Rife

Horror Queers ·

2020/07/08

After multiple requests, the time has finally come to crack the glass and dive deep into the sad, introverted, homicidal world of May, Lucky McKee's 2002 feature directorial debut, starring UBER talented actress Angela Bettis. Along for the ride is The AV Club's Katie Rife, who joins the boys to dissect Anna Faris' predatory lesbian Polly, Jeremy Sisto's fuck boy Adam (and his Horror Bro short film) and poor May, who we are equally drawn to and horrified by. Up for discussion: why Trace hates the

I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) feat. Ari Drew

Horror Queers ·

2020/07/01

Happy 4th of July, Julie! We're celebrating the holiday (and Canada Day....) in Southport, North Carolina to discuss the seminal post-Scream slasher film I Know What You Did Last Summer. Joining us is Trace's husband, Ari Drew, who is getting a redo after Trace drunkenly botched his previous guest appearance on The X-Files: I Want to Believe. After Ari tells us how he tricked a bunch of straight dudes into seeing IKWYDLS back in 1997, we all discuss the film's unearned reputation as a "Scream

The Craft (1996) feat. Valeska Griffiths

Horror Queers ·

2020/06/24

For our final episode of Pride Month, we're calling the corners and invoking the spirit of Manon. That's right: it's time to discuss Andrew Fleming's 1996 ode to female friendships and the dangers of all-consuming power. Joining the boys is Joe's horror bestie, Valeska Griffiths, who unpacks why this film is so important for female and/or queer horror fans. We discuss the film's nostalgic value, its pop culture impact, and question the way race and sexual assault is handled (Christine Taylor

Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker (1981) feat. FriGay...

Horror Queers ·

2020/06/17

Pride month continues with a queer positive slasher film that most people have never seen! We're joined by fellow queer podcasters Andrew and Matty, aka FriGay the 13th, to unpack the delirious madness of Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker (aka Night Warning). This exploitation/video nasty tends to make waves for Susan Tyell's incestuous relationship with her twinky son, but the real topic here is the film's true villain: the homophobic cop who hates gays. In addition to its bombastic Final Destination

Topics up for discussion include: forehead buttholes, studio interference leading to a Director's Cut, mid-'90s special effects, magic vs. illusion and queer henchman Butterfield's Visible Penis Line. Also, Trace lauds everything cult-related in

2020/06/03

To kick off Pride Month, we're hosting a double feature tracing the journey of the all-too-rare queer slasher film (things sure have changed in the last 15 years!). The two films up for discussion? 2004's 'Hellbent' and 2018's 'Killer Unicorn'. Joining us is Sam Wineman, the director of Shudder's upcoming queer horror documentary! First up, we're heading to Los Angeles to attend the West Hollywood Halloween Carnival in Paul Etheredge's 'Hellbent'. After marvelling at the fact that this film was even

The Handmaiden (2016) feat. Jenny Nulf

Horror Queers ·

2020/05/27

Hold on to your minling balls, because we're heading to Japanese-occupied Korea with return guest Jenny Nulf (check out our previous episode on Fatal Frame) to discuss Park Chan-wook’s masterful and twisty film The Handmaiden. After a brief history lesson, we dive right into this lengthy little film to marvel at how nothing in Park's semi-loose adaptation of a Victorian era-set British novel gets lost in translation. Topics up for discussion include: safe spaces for actors when filming explicit, sex

Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night 2 (1987) feat. Leigh Monson

Horror Queers ·

2020/05/20

Grab your tiara, your emerald gown and your murder cape because it's prom season and the campaign to crown a Queen is vicious! Mary Lou Maloney is slaying the competition, bedding all of the boys and leaving her mark on the confessional wall...and on the stage. Joining the boys to discuss this Canadian slasher gem is Leigh Monson, who helps to unpack why Mary Lou is both a sex positive queer icon and a villain to root for. Perhaps we're possessed by the spirit of Mary Lou, but things get a little

2020/05/13

Ruh roh! In anticipation of Scoob! being released this weekend, we're having our first Horror Queers double feature with 1998's classic animated film Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island and its, like, totally meta 2019 sequel Scooby Doo! Return to Zombie Island. Joining us for this venture is Collider's Haleigh Foutch, who joins Trace in being a fellow Scooby-head (as opposed to Joe, who is decidedly not). Join us as we discuss all things Scooby-Doo, from its status as a form of gateway horror for a certain

Grace (2009) feat. Anya Stanley

Horror Queers ·

2020/05/06

Happy Mother's Day, everyone! We're celebrating this sacred holiday with a discussion of booby horror and queer baby mama drama in Paul Solet's Grace! Joining us for the discussion is journalist and mother Anya Stanley, who brings some much-needed maternal instincts to the discussion. Fair warning, though: this is not a film to watch if you're already pregnant.. Join us as we discuss the greatness that is the supremely underrated Jordan Ladd, as well as admire Solet's use of sound design and
