*****

You know how I love a movie full of rich obnoxious jerks who are all secretly trying to murder each other so they can inherit a mountain of money?

THIS IS ONE OF THOSE MOVIES!

Except it's also SUPER GAY!

THE ESTATE is the wickedly hilarious brainchild of writer/star CHRIS BAKER and his IRL partner, director JAMES KAPNER.

It's the story of rich spoiled egotistical George and his rich spoiled gold-digging sex-hungry stepmom who seduce/hire a hot bisexual hitman to help them take down the cruel manipulative family patriarch, so they can inherit his massive estate.

The only thing is...murder is a lot like potato chips.

It's hard to stop at just one.

For a movie this twisted, I need a guest host who is even more twisted, and that could only be the fabulous TRAE DEAN.

My apologies to CHRIS BAKER whom my COVID Foggy brain insisted on calling "Chris Baxter" throughout the recording.

THE ESTATE is currently available on HULU or wherever you rent movies.

THE ESTATE stars CHRIS BAKER, ELIZA COUPE, GREG FINLEY, ERIC ROBERTS, HEATHER MATARAZZO, EZRA BUZZINGTON and ALEXANDRA BILLINGS.

Please enjoy the first of my MEET THE FILMMAKERS series where I have one-on-one chats with the people who made the movies we've been talking about this season.

But who's our first victim?

You've heard him on Homos on Haunted Hill.

We discussed his conversion camp slasher film Children of Sin on Episode 1402.

My SuperScreamerz have been hogging him all to themselves all week.

But now...at last...he's all yours...

Come spend 30 minutes inside the fabulously twisted mind of CHRISTOPHER WESLEY MOORE (When the Trash Man Knocks, Blessed Are The Children, Triggered, A Stranger Among the Living)

As proof that ScreamQueenz has not podfaded, please accept the Flashback to one of the most popular and beloved of our classic episodes: that time TRAE DEAN and DOUG SHAPIRO dropped by to discuss the gayest Agatha Christie murder mystery of all, EVIL UNDER THE SUN.

EVIL UNDER THE SUN is currently available for streaming on BRITBOX and for rental from all the usual sources.

Note: This episode was recorded 13 years ago. I was a lot coarser and less sensitive than I am now. I apologize for my offensive language and the dated views I shared.

ATTACHMENT is an extraordinary film in which clashing Danish, British and Jewish Haredi cultures combine to tell a love story most queer:

A story of Mothers and Daughters,

of Daughters and Lovers,

and of the Ancient Evil that wants to consume them all.

To discuss this most unusual film I needed the most fabulous of guests, so I am delighted to be joined by ALYSSA SIMON (Moosehead Over the Mantel, They Will Outlive Us All) and CHRYSTEN PEDDIE (Killing Your Darlings).

ATTACHMENT is currently streaming exclusively on SHUDDER and is available to rent/buy through the usual channels.

Written and directed by Gabriel Bier Gislason and stars Josephine Park, Ellie Kendrick, Sofie Gråbøl and David Dencik.

Think spending the holidays with your family is stressful?

Meet the Morgan family.

Their family get-togethers are killer.

All aboard Polyester Airlines flight to the night of November 27, 1972: the night the Christmas proto-slasher HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS premiered on ABC.

You can expect:

-A truly knockout cast of heavy-hitting women.

-Pulpy dialogue.

-Fraught melodrama.

-Perfectly timed thunderclaps.

-Pitchfork murders

-Worst. Christmas. EVER!

Your copilot on this very wet journey into Christmas carnage is author DANIEL W. KELLY from the BOYS BEARS & SCARES blog and the Comfort Cove horror-erotica series ("No Place for Little Ones", "Horny Devils", "Wet Screams").

HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS was directed by JOHN LLEWLYN MOXEY, written by JOSEPH STEFANO and stars SALLY FIELD, JULIE HARRIS, JESSICA WALTER, ELEANOR PARKER, JILL HAWORTH and WALTER BRENNAN.

Punk rock will never die!

But punk rockers sure do.

Plus they are delicious.

In UNCLE PECKERHEAD (currently streaming on Prime, Hulu, Sling TV and The Roku Channel), a fledging punk band starting out on their first tour discovers their new hot Southern daddy roadie is also a man-eating...thing.

They also discover...that's not a dealbreaker.

On the surface, "Uncle Peckerhead" is a delightfully fun, gory, campy, feel-good rock 'n roll road trip movie with a ton of genuine heart that's shockingly queer positive!

But lurking deep underneath all that sweet Southern charm is an insidiously wicked "deal with the devil" Faustian pact story.

And Judy and her band are about to learn that when you bargain with the devil, he ALWAYS gets his due...

My very special guests this episode are the editor of Bear World Magazine and Stan the Mechanics' alter ego, JOHN HERNANDEZ, and co-creator and star of "Good Cops" and "I Had a Bloody Good Time at House Harker", DEREK HAUGEN.

UNCLE PECKERHEAD was written & directed by MATTHEW JOHN LAWRENCE and stars DAVID LITTLETON, CHET SIEGAL, JEFF RIDDLE and RUBY McCOLLISTER

Happy Halloween, my Beautiful Screamerz!

To celebrate, we're taking a break from psychological analysis and sociological impacts to get absolutely bonkers with the outrageous zombie comedy out of Belgium called YUMMY (currently streaming on SHUDDER and AMC+).

A young woman travels to a shady Eastern European hospital for a discount breast reduction and instead must survive a zombie uprising when it turns out her surgeon's experimental surgery techniques have deadly side effects. Can anyone survive this orgy of blood, boobs and Belgian waffles???

When a movie is this off-the-wall bananapants, there are only two people I want sitting next to me: The Queens of T!tties and Chaos - CINDY KINNARD-DIAMOND and STACY PARKER from CREEPY KITCH.

Get ready for a far-out flight to the grooviest decade ever when IT CAME FROM THE 70's takes over ScreamQueenz Studios to talk about everyone's favorite shameless CARRIE ripoff: the 1978 made-for-tv exercise in coded lesbianism and petty revenge known as THE INITIATION OF SARAH.

There's something about this movie.

It's a not-particularly scary carbon copy of the "Awkard Girl With Secret Powers Get Revenge" trope.

By all rights, it should have been forgotten a long time ago.

But it wasn't.

And it's not just "remembered fondly".

This movie is beloved.

Join Patrick K. Walsh and his guest co-pilots TARA GARNER and KASEY LOMAN (Evil Goods Graphic Designs) as they explore the powerful hold SARAH has had on our hearts since we first met her 45 years ago.

THE INITIATION OF SARAH is currently available to watch for free on YOUTUBE.

This episode of IT CAME FROM THE 70s originally aired on July 23, 2023. IT CAME FROM THE 70s is available exclusively to our PATREON subscribers. Become a Patron here.

Pick up some of Kasey Loman's fabulous FEMMES OF FRIGHT: Women in Horror collection at her Teepublic store.

Directed by ROBERT DAY. Written by DON INGALLS, CAROL SERACENO, and KENETTE GFLELLER. Starring KAY LENZ,

Last time, you escaped from Camp Whistler.

But no one ever leaves Abraham House.

Our exploration into the horrific world of conversion therapy and queer conversion camps continues with a discussion of CHILDREN OF SIN written and directed by CHRISTOPHER WESLEY MOORE from HOMOS ON HAUNTED HILL.

When Emma's abusive new stepfather finds out she's pregnant and that her brother Jackson is gay, he ships them off to Abraham House where religious zealot Mary Esther promises to bring these sinners home to Jesus...one way or another.

CHILDREN OF SIN may be microbudget.

CHILDREN OF SIN may be rough around the edges.

Yet CHILDREN OF SIN delivers everything THEY/THEM promised to and failed:

Scares, gore, tension, queer characters that feel real and a gleefully charismatic villain you'll love to hate.

But more importantly, CHILDREN OF SIN has the audacity and courage to point the finger of blame at those responsible for the real-life horrors on which this film was based.

I am once again joined by my very special guests the Reverend BEN FITZGERALD-FYE @pastorfabulous and TARA GARNER @tara_rahboomdeay.

CHILDREN OF SIN is currently streaming on TUBI and stars JO-ANN ROBINSON, MEREDITH MOHLER, LEWIS HINES, JEFF BUCHWALD, KENI BOUNDS and CHRISTOPHER WESLEY MOORE.

"Conversion therapy – sometimes called reparative therapy – is the discredited and harmful practice of attempting to change one’s sexual orientation or gender identity. This...

"I'd understand it a lot more if there were a lot more queer bashing and bible-thumping..."

On the surface, the movie Blumhouse's THEY/THEM had everything going for it:

• A slasher film with a novel queer conversion camp setting.
• Three-time Oscar-nominated screenwriter John Logan at the helm.
• Kevin Bacon's return to his horror roots.
• Queer characters actually played by queer actors.

With a built-in audience, undeniable talent, and seemingly the best intentions, THEY/THEM seem poised to take Queer Horror Cinema to the next level while exposing the real-life horrors of conversion therapy.

Instead, it failed on almost every level.

Join my special guests TARA GARNER and REVERAND BEN FITZGERALD-FYE as we take a good long look at what went wrong at Camp Whistler

THEY/THEM is currently available on Peacock.

Written & directed by JOHN LOGAN. Starring KEVIN BACON, ANNA CHLUMSKY, THEO GERMAINE, MONIQUE KIM, QUEI TANN and DARWIN DEL FABRO
