ScreamQueenz: Where Horror Gets GAY!

THE DARK SIDE OF THE RAINBOW: Part Two - "Queer Prejudices"

On the next leg of our journey to the ugly underbelly of LGBT+ life, we're heading to Providence, Rhode Island for the dragtastic, glitter-sprinkled, and gore-streaked queer slasher, DEATH DROP GORGEOUS (2020).

A dejected bartender and an aging drag queen try to survive the eccentric and hostile nightlife of a corrupt city, as a masked maniac slaughters young gay men and drains them of blood.

Lurking under the glitz, glamour and fabulousness is a deceptively casual commentary on the racism, ageism and simmering rage that belies the Rainbow Facade we prefer to project.

Here to help me navigate this deliciously twisted trail are my very special guests, JASON PINTAR and PETER ADAMSON.

DEATH DROP GORGEOUS was written & directed by MICHAEL AHERN, CHRISTOPHER DALPE and BRANDON PERRAS and stars WAYNE GONSALVES, MICHEAL MCADAM, MATTHEW PIDGE, COMPLETE DESTRUCTION and LINNEA QUIGLEY.

THE DARK SIDE OF THE RAINBOW: Part 1 - "Queer Stereotypes"

With Friday, May 13th looming on the calendar, it's time for another FRIDAY THE 13th SPECTACULAR episode!

This time we're celebrating the work of JOHN CARL BUECHLER ("Friday the 13th Part 7: The New Blood") and his infamous 1986 cult classic TROLL.

A banished troll king seeks to bring back his lost world of dark fairies by nefariously transforming the residents of a San Francisco apartment building into evil mystical creatures.

Whimsical fantasy or antigay propaganda? YOU DECIDE!

My special guest is MAYA MURPHY, so you can expect some OPINIONS!

TROLL was directed by JOHN CARL BUECHLER and stars MICHAEL MORIARTY, SHELLEY HACK, NOAH HATHAWAY, SONNY BONO, GARY SANDY, JUNE LOCKHART and JULIA LOUIS DREYFUSS.

I'm in desperate need of a break, so while I'm gone I'm leaving you with the best babysitter I could find.

Queer horror legend VINCENT PRICE.

THE PRICE OF FEAR is a BBC old-time radio show which was first broadcast in 1973.

It starred Uncle Vinnie as the Narrator and also an active participant in the ghoulish tales he gets mixed up in while traveling the world, making scary movies, and being fabulous.

"The Waxwork" is based on the short story by A.M. BURRAGE story of the same name and centers on Vincent's chance encounter in London with a down-and-out writer he once worked with.

The writer is attempting to revive his career with a publicity stunt that involves him writing a tale of terror while spending the night in MADAME TUSSAUD'S WAX MUSEUM's infamous CHAMBER OF HORRORS.

What could possibly go wrong...?

Old Hollywood had a name for movies like PICTURE MOMMY DEAD.

Schlock.

"A Schlock film is the term given to a film that represents a low-budget horror flick. With overly-sensational plots, lurid special effects, and perhaps a bit of immature, albeit comedic, gag style humor ." -BeverlyBoy.com

Today, we might call it campy or cheesy or trashy, but whatever name you call it, it's a Big Gay Horror Good Time!

PICTURE MOMMY DEAD is a schlocktacular potboiler of a thriller with all the classic Gothic trappings:

• A creepy mansion
• A young girl suffering from amnesia
• A murdered woman
• A missing diamond necklace
• And a veritable viper's nest of conniving gaslighting characters all out to screw each other out of inheriting the family fortune.

Here to add some elegance to the cinematic sleaze is fabulous queer filmmaker, ALAN ROWE KELLY (Tales of Poe, The Blood Shed, Site 13)

PICTURE MOMMY DEAD was directed by BURT I GORDON (Earth vs The Spider, Food of the Gods) and stars ZSA ZSA GABOR (Queen of Outer Space, Nightmare on Elm Street III), DON AMECHE (Heaven Can Wait, Cocoon), SUSAN GORDON (Attack of the Puppet People, Tormented), MARTHA HYER (Sabrina, The Sons of Katie Elder), MAXWELL REED (Helen of Troy, Daughter of Darkness) and

The movie discussed in this episode contains scenes of threats & acts of sexual violence. If you or someone you know needs help, please call the NATIONAL SEXUAL ASSULT HOTLINE at 1-800-656-HOPE(4673) or visit RAINN.org.

Our month-long focus on SEAN S. CUNNINGHAM concludes with a look at his 1985 teen action thriller THE NEW KIDS (aka STRIKING BACK).

After being orphaned, Loren & Abby must relocate to live with their uncle and quickly run afoul of the local gang of drug-pushing bullies. The situation quickly escalates into a deadly battle for their lives set in an abandoned amusement park.

You can expect:

• a terrifying performance from JAMES SPADER.
• training montages within training montages.
• a shocking amount of homoerotic imagery.
• one of the most 80's music scores the 80's ever produced.

For your protection, I have enlisted as my guests Krav Maga master TRAE DEAN and Canada's foremost Attack Goose trainer TARA GARNER.

THE NEW KIDS was directed by SEAN S. CUNNINGHAM, written by STEPHEN GYLLENHAAL & BRIAN TAGGERT, and stars SHANNON PRESBY, LORI LOUGHLIN, JAMES SPADER, ERIC STOLTZ, and TOM ATKINS.

THE NEW KIDS is not currently streaming on any platforms but can be rented on YouTube.

Due to ongoing PC problems, I'm pushing the episode on STUART GORDON's Grimm little bedtime story, the 1987 film DOLLS...until next time.

Don't feel bad for my special guests for that episode, TYLER JENSEN & ROMAN CHIMIANTE from "Scream, Queen!: My Nightmare on Elm Street". They're going to use that extra time to lurk on dark street corners and practice being butch.

But the rest of us are going back in time to the year 1975 to revisit the glorious world of OLD TIME RADIO and the CBS MYSTERY THEATER.

In "Sagamore Cottage", a charming young heterosexual couple rent a house on Long Island only to find their lives plunged into danger and horror after they start hearing strange noises from inside the walls...noises that sound almost like voices.

Sagamore Cottage first aired on December 31, 1975. Written by BOB JUHREN and starring ROBERT KALIBAN, CARMEN MATTHEWS, JANET WALDO, BRYNA RAEBURN and ROBERT MAXWELL.
