ScreamQueenz: Where Horror Gets GAY!

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

Don't you hate it when your favorite disco is also an ancient Templar shrine and you die in a freak foam party accident and your soul is forced to walk the earth for the next 700 years?

ME TOO!

Pride Month is off to a very silly start with the adorable yet kinda problematic 2006 French comedy POLTERGAY.

Boogie down with my very special guest TRAE DEAN ("DAMN YOU, UNCLE LEWIS!") and me on this madcap tour through the Gay Afterlife.

POLTERGAY is currently available to rent or buy on YouTube.

Directed by ERIC LAVAINE. Starring CLOVIC CORNILLIAC, JULIE DEPARDIEU, LIONEL ABELANSKI, GILES GASTON-DREYFUSS, JEAN-MICHEL LAHMI, PHILLIPE DUQUESNE, GEORGES GAY and MICHEL DUCHAUSSOY

THE DARK SIDE OF THE RAINBOW is a three-part series exploring queer horror films that reveal the "ugly side" of LGBT life and why it's important for us to see it.

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.

July is GAY WRATH MONTH at the ScreamQueenz Virtual Drive-In featuring 5 movies designed to make them FEAR THE QUEERS! Click the links to view the trailers.

This is a Summer Hiatus-Busting Bonus Episode of ScreamQueenz to help tide you over until the new season launches in September.

"It Came From The 70s!" is one of the Premium Podcasts available only to our ScreamQueenz Patrons at Patreon.

"The Horror at 37,000 Feet" episode of "It Came From The 70s!" first aired on Patreon on April 29, 2022.

Unlock all of our exclusive bonus content while supporting ScreamQueenz by becoming a Patron at Patreon.com/ScreamQueenz.

Welcome aboard, time travelers!

"It Came From the 70s!" in conjunction with Polyester Airlines is proud to have you join us on our very first flight into Made For TV Terrors from the time when Kojack was King!

Our final destination this evening is the year 1973 for THE HORROR AT 37,000 FEET in which passengers on a red eye transatlantic flight begin to realize there's something ancient and evil lurking in the cargo hold.  

Fortunately, WILLIAM SHATNER, TAMMY GRIMES, CHUCK CONNERS and BUDDY EPSEN are on hand, because in times of emergency, it's always best to have actors committed to chewing the scenery, freaking out and going full Lord of the Flies in a confined space with pressurized oxygen.

My co-pilot tonight and the Tennile to my Captain is the luscious TOPPIE SMELLIE from THE SMELLCAST .  

Toppie and I may not be able to tell you what the Horror at 37,000 feet actually is.

But we do know one thing...

IT CAME FROM THE 70s!

My very special guest for this neon-soaked nightmare is the extremely talented actor/screenwriter/director and cohost of the MIDNIGHT MASS podcast, MICHAEL VARRATI (Dragula, Tales of Poe, History of Fright).

CW: suicide, child abuse, child endangerment, sexual violence, dark psychological themes.

Love bites. Love bleeds.

Love lives. Love dies.

Love begs. Love pleads.

Love is Grimm.

The final stop on our "Dark Side Of Rainbow" tour leads us into the darkest, most dangerous reaches of the forest where the only monsters are us.

GRIMM LOVE is a fictionalization of the infamous "German gay cannibal case" in which Armin Meiwes killed and ate his willing victim Bernd Brandes.

Yet despite the grisly sensational subject matter, GRIMM LOVE weaves a tale that is as hauntingly beautiful as it is horrifically tragic.

To help me navigate this twisted path, I've enlisted MAYA MUPHY from "DAMN YOU, UNCLE LEWIS!" and ROSEWATER.

GRIMM LOVE is available on Prime, Tubi and Peacock.

Directed by MARTIN WEISS. Starring KERI RUSSELL, THOMAS KRETSCHMANN and THOMAS HUBER.

All aboard for another flight into made-for-tv terror on Polyester Airlines as we journey back to the night of December 11, 1973 for the world premiere of the latest ABC Movie of the Week, "THE CAT CREATURE" starring MEREDITH BAXTER ("Family Ties", "All the President's Men"), DAVID HEDISON ("The Fly, "Live and Let Die"), GALE SONDERGAARD ("The Black Cat", "The Time of Their Lives") and STUART WHITMAN ("Night of the Lepus", "Shock Corridor").  

After a mysterious Egyptian amulet is stolen from a sarcophagus, everyone who comes into contact with the amulet falls prey to a bloodsucking monster kitty.  

Fresh from his sweet summer gig at Fire Island's glamorous Ice Palace, my co-pilot on this ill-advised flight into mummy mania is everyone's favorite undead horror host, UNKLE SPOOKY from "Unkle Spooky's SPOOK-O-RAMA".  Follow him on Instagram at @unkle_spooky

THE CAT CREATURE was directed by CURTIS HARRINGTON ("Queen of Blood", "Who Slew Auntie Roo?" and written by ROBERT BLOCH ("Psycho", "Strait-Jacket:).

• Rolling Heads
• Pooped Petticoats

• Nels Oleson Gettin' Nelly

My copilot on this journey in wholesome family childhood-scarring entertainment is my longtime friend and fellow community theater survivor, MARTIN MCKEON.

Three young Evangelical movie users find a strange unmarked roll of film in the theater's basement. Thinking it might be porn, they screen the movie and accidentally unleash a bloodthirsty succubus. But in order to survive, they must not only conquer the demon they released but also the demons they hide within themselves.

Despite the provocative title, PORNO (2019) isn't really about explicit nudity, sex and exploitation. At its core, it's a surprisingly thoughtful morality play about faith and what happens when that faith is put to the ultimate test.

In order to properly peruse the rich story hiding under all the blood and boobs, I needed two extra guests: filmmaker and beard magician OSO EWERT and Pastor Fabulous himself BEN FITZGERALD-FYE

Make your beard look fabulous with products for OSO SCRUFFY

PORNO was directed by KEOLA RACELA, written by MATT BLACK & LAURENCE VANNICELLI and stars EVAN DAVES, LARRY SAPERSTEIN, GLENN STOTT, JILLIAN MUELLER, ROBBIE TANN, KATELYN PEARCE, BILL PHILLIPS & PETER REZINKOFF

Ryan's long-absent father (guest star MICHAEL CONSTANTINE from "My Big Fat Greek Wedding) is getting married!

But Uncle Lewis gave him a cursed pipe as a wedding gift.

Can the Curious Goods crew retrieve the pipe and save Ray's soul before his dreams of happily ever after go up in smoke?

Oh, there's no place like home for the holidays...unless you live in the house a recently escaped killer used to reside in.

Following the tradition of the past few years, I let you, the listeners, decide what holiday horror movie I covered in December.

You spoke.

I obey.

The winner by a landslide was BLACK XMAS (2006).

A houseful of sorority sisters are about to wish they went home for Christmas break, because serial killer Billy Lenz just escaped from the mental hospital, and he doesn't care if they've been naughty or nice.

This controversial remake of the 1974 classic caused rifts in the horror community, but whether you love it or hate it, you're gonna have a great time listening, because my very special guests are CINDY KINNARD-DIAMOND and STACY PARKER from CREEPY KITCH.

BLACK XMAS is currently available on Hulu.

BLACK XMAS was directed by GLENN MORGAN ("Final Destination", "The X-Files", "Willard") and stars KATIE CASSIDY, ANDREA MARTIN, MICHELLE TRACHTENBERG, LACEY CHABERT, MARY ELIZABETH WINSTEAD and KRISTEN CLOAKE.
