Horror Queers

We're barreling towards the Chucky S02 finale as the characters come together. But is it all happening too quickly? We're still trying to figure out the endgame as several characters are dispatched, Dr. Mixter makes her move, and Kyle, Nica and Glenda hit the road.

Plus: our apprehension about the Sister Ruth development, Don Mancini's delight in hurting the adult cast and how we feel about that final death.

Grab your bug spray because we're heading to the alien bug planets of Klendathu and Planet P to satirize the fascists in Paul Verhoeven's adaptation of Robert Heinlein's controversial novel Starship Troopers!

Join us as we go over the film's lengthy (lengthy) production history before diving into the film's political commentary that 1997 critics and audiences just didn't seem to detect. Is it subtext? Or is it text? We aim to find out!

Prep your 80s New Wave acapella and your dead girl tropes because we're talking Jennifer Reeder's Knives and Skin (2019). Helping us search for the body is The Mary Sue's Princess Weekes, who offers invaluable insight into the costuming of WOC in this female-centric text. This is an unconventional episode for an unconventional film, which is much more of a vibe than a straightforward murder mystery.

Plus: why Mrs. Harper is so empathetic, messy clown sex, Reeder's interest in female agency, wet ass pussy papers, admiring a film even if you struggle with it, and smelling teen boys' t-shirts.

In honor of the 10th anniversary expanded edition of her iconic text House of Psychotic Women, we sat down with author Kier-La Janisse (also the award-winning documentary filmmaker of Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched: A History of Folk Horror). Our connection was shaky (hence some spotty audio), but we asked Kier-La about the reception (then and now) of the book, which films readers should prioritize and why we're unlikely to see a HoPW documentary series in the future.

We're back with S02E04 of Chucky, an episode that sees the return of Glen and Glenda in a "very special episode" that's sure to please anyone who's a fan of Seed of Chucky. We've got a Clue-themed narrative, a sitcom-y wraparound story, and a Bound reunion! It's the most meta that Chucky has ever been, for better and for worse.

Happy Halloween, everyone! Load up your leopard-print convertible because we're heading to the good, decent town of Fallwell, Massachusetts to appraise Aunt Morgana's house, book and dog in 1988's tit-filled camp classic Elvira: Mistress of the Dark! Joining us for this delightful conversation is two-time RuPaul's Drag Race winner Jinkx Monsoon!

Join us as we give an Elvira primer before discussing the origins of Mistress of the Dark and diving into its botched release that all but assured we'd never get an Elvira sitcom (where the fuck was Fox???). But hey, at least she's not just a great set of boobs. She's also an incredible pair of legs!

Plus, evil Russian wizards, magical rings, demonic dogs, babies born with makeup, penis snakes and the joys of a queer, feminist icon who owns her sexuality. Déjà Vu!
