Horror Queers

After years of requests we're finally heading to Midian to hang with Boone and Button-Face in Clive Barker's Nightbreed (1990)! Joining us for the conversation is super-fan Leigh Monson (see previous episode on Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II).

In this episode, which premiered at last year's Frightgown Film Festival, we discuss the film's arduous production and incredibly troubled post-production before going all-in on the queer allegory with the monsters of Midian (aka the "Nightbreed").

Plus, why is Boone so boring? Just how many different cuts are there (and which version is the best one to watch)? Do we like Lori's musical number? Oh, and David. Fucking. Cronenberg.

Brush up on your stalking laws because we're heading to the City of Angels to discuss our very first TV movie in John Carpenter's Someone's Watching Me! (1978), which aired on NBC just one month after the release of Halloween!

Join us as we do a crash course on the status of television movies in the '70s before analyzing Carpenter's subversion of the Final Girl trope and then rightfully praising the groundbreaking positive queer representation in Adrienne Barbeau's Sophie (before lamenting her inclusion in the "bury your gays" trope).

Plus, plenty of Scooby-Doo connections, all kinds of gazes, the "right" way to come home from work and the ultimate question: Is Forth Worth, TX some sort of lesbian haven?

This month on Micro Queers, we're headed to London 1 hour before The Pulse with Rob Savage's Dawn of the Deaf (2016). We discuss the exquisite technical elements (be sure to watch it with head phones!), the stunning 360 spinning subway scene, and get excited about feature version with an all deaf cast (it'll never happen though!)

For the last entry in our Camp series, we're finally tackling Robert Hiltzik's Sleepaway Camp (1983). Along for the short shorts and Judy of it all is returning guest - and big fan of the film - Ten Backe.

The big question is whether this film is homophobic and transphobic. Hiltzik doesn't have a lot of thoughts on the matter, but we, and many trans film critics, do. Is Sleepaway Camp worthy of praise and (re)appropriation by the queer community?

Plus: comparisons to Friday the 13th, thoughts on Judy's curling iron death, Art the pedophile cook, and the need for short shorts and male nudity!

Week 4 of the Summer of Camp finds us fucking life in the gallbladder with Flesh For Frankenstein (1974). Along for the ride is returning guest Reyna Cervantes, who loves Paul Morrissey's X-Rated satire, which could never be made today!

After Trace provides a quick crash course on Andy Warhol and The Factory, we dive into the 3D, the Mafia (!) and the incest/necrophilia of it all (C/W by the way).

Plus: hot Udo Kier, the destruction of the nuclear family, asexuality vs gay vibes, debates about male full frontal nudity, and James Cameron?
