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

Lord of Illusions (1995)

2020/06/10

Continuing our Pride Month marathon, we're checking in with Clive Barker's third (and final) directorial effort 'Lord of Illusions', which features the first (and only) live-action appearance of Barker's recurring protagonist Harry D'Amour (Scott Bakula). 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

Hellbent (2004)/Killer Unicorn (2018) feat. Sam Wineman

Horror Queers ·

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

Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island (1998) feat. Haleigh Foutch

Horror Queers ·

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

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

A Nightmare On Elm Street (2010)

Horror Queers ·

2020/04/29

Just in time for its tenth anniversary, the boys head to Elm Street to revisit Platinum Dunes’ worst remake. This film is a disaster for several reasons: from its condensed production timeline to its unmemorable set pieces to its extremely miscast leading lady, Snoozey Mara (credit the Halloweenies podcast for that gem!). What's extra frustrating is how likable the rest of the cast is! Jackie Earle Haley is trying his darnedest to bring something new to Freddy Krueger while poor Thomas Dekker (our

Poltergeist II: The Other Side (1986) feat. Tyler...

2020/04/22

We're joining forces with Tyler Jensen and Roman Chimienti, the directors of the superb queer documentary Scream, Queen! My Nightmare on Elm Street, in Phoenix Arizona (and later Orange Country, California) to discuss the "Other Side" in the 1986 sequel Poltergeist II: The Other Side! After spilling the tea on last year's live episode on A Nightmare on Elm Street 2, we dive into Brian Gibson's sequel that at least tries to do something different (as opposed to repeating the most successful parts of

Reefer Madness (2005)

Horror Queers ·

2020/04/15

Happy 4/20, y'all! We're celebrating with a pack of giggle sticks, a chocolate brownie-scented DVD box and a movie musical! That's right, we're discussing the TV film adaptation of the stage musical adaptation of the 1936 propaganda film: Reefer Madness! Just hope we don't turn into cannibalistic murderers like some of the people in this movie. Before we take a hit, we go into our own personal histories with marijuana and discuss the circumstances that led to the original (and absolutely terrible)

Interview: Eric Charmelo on Ringer & The Perfection

Horror Queers ·

2020/04/10

You didn't think we would let the co-creator/showrunner of The CW's Ringer (starring Sarah Michelle Gellar as twins!) and the co-writer of The Perfection (one of our absolute favorite films of last year) go without spilling the tea, did you?! Eric was kind enough to chat with us a little longer about the behind the scenes drama that allowed Ringer to embrace its true campy potential ~5-6 episodes in, what the original architecture of the show was and what would have happened in seasons two AND three
