ScreamQueenz: Where Horror Gets GAY!

It's campy.

It's raunchy.

It's gory.

It's the beloved 1988 cult classic crowd pleaser, NIGHT OF THE DEMONS!

In fact, I love this movie so much, I'm throwing a two-part SPECTACULAHHHR.

Ten rambunctious teens throw a Halloween party in a spooky abandoned funeral parlor and end up raising hell.`

In part of the SPECTACULAHHHR, I'm joined by everyone's favorite heterosexual podfaders and Night of the Demons virgins, ALLISON NOWACKI and BRYAN J. POLK.

NIGHT OF THE DEMONS is available on SHUDDER, TUBI, and PEACOCK.

Directed by KEVIN TENNEY, written by JOE AUGUSTYN, starring CATHY PODEWELL, ALVIN ALEXIS, HAL HAVINS, ALLISON BARRON, WILLIAM GALLO, LANCE FENTON, LINNEA QUIGLEY, MIMI KINKAIDE, JILL TERASHITA and PHILIP TANZINI

This bonus episode of ScreamQueenz contains a newly public episode of IT CAME FROM THE '70s! originally broadcast on November 3, 2023.

Climb aboard Polyester Airlines for a charter flight back in time to the year 1981 to discuss the truly chilling tale of supernatural retribution, DARK NIGHT OF THE SCARECROW.

In the quiet town of Bogan, four vigilantes hunt down and execute a local mentally-challenged man for a crime he did not commit. But just when they think they've gotten away with it, the wicked quartet encounter dark savage justice when one by one they are terrorized and killed by a figure in a scarecrow costume.

Your copilot for this ill-advised journey into terror is the fabulous TRAE DEAN from "Damn You, Uncle Lewis!"

DARK NIGHT OF THE SCARECROW is currently streaming on SHUDDER, PEACOCK , TUBI and YOUTUBE. 

Directed by Frank De Felitta, written by J.D Feigelson & Butler Hancock, starring Charles Durning, Larry Drake, Jocelyn Brando, Lane Smith, Claude Earl Jones, Robert F. Lyons and Tonya Crowe.

"Outrageous!"-"Ridiculous!"-"Offensive!"-"Fabulous!"

Well, enough about me. Let's talk about SLEEPWALKERS!

Join me, Patrick Walsh, and my guest, everyone's favorite New York City-based undead horror host Unkle Spooky on a deranged deep dive into the delicious chaos that is STEPHEN KING'S SLEEPWALKERS, a film as taboo and flawed as it is wildly entertaining.

Tanya and Charles are the perfect All-American high school couple about to go on their first date. Unfortunately for Tanya, Charles and his mother are unkillable incestuous shapeshifting werecats who feed on the souls of young virgins, and Tanya is next on their menu!

Will Tanya fall prey to these kinky beasts? Or is there an adorable four-legged hero somewhere who knows the one thing that can stop this monstrous duo forever?

Look, I know this movie is a hot mess, but I still love it, warts and all, because hiding under all the absurdity, there's true greatness just waiting for someone to find it.

And that someone is ME.

SLEEPWALKERS was directed by Mick Garris, written by Stephen King and stars Mädchen Amick, Brian Krause, Alice Krige and Ron Perlman.

"You can fool everybody, but landy deary me, you can't fool a cat!"

Irena, a lonely young Serbian immigrant, believes she is descended from a tribe of shape-shifting witches and fears that any physical intimacy will change her into a killer jungle cat. Irena can run. Irena can hide. But she cannot deny the Beast Inside.

CAT PEOPLE somehow managed to tell a clearly queer-coded tale of forbidden desires and unspeakable passions at the height of Hayes Code Production censorship, and we are thrilled that it did, because this film is a delight to watch.

My special guest this episode are TARA GARNER and KASEY LOMAN.

CAT PEOPLE was produced by VAL LEWTON, directed by JACQUES TOURNEUR, written by DEWITT BODEEN and stars SIMONE SIMON, KENT SMITH, JANE RANDOLPH and TOM CONWAY.

Please excuse these crappy AI show notes. They're just placeholders

until the real ones are finished later today.

Prepare yourself for a wild ride through the Canadian horror weirdness when host Patrick Walsh is joined by the fabulous Creepy Kitsch girls, Cindy and Stacy to discuss MARGAUX: the killer smart house movie ` for a lively discussion that ranges from the film's plot to its outrageous moments and everything in between. Right from the get-go, Patrick's infectious energy sets the tone, hinting at the movie's more ridiculous elements while also revealing unexpected layers of storytelling that caught him off guard. It’s refreshing to hear them dissect a film that many might dismiss outright, as they uncover the nuances in character development and the surprisingly well-crafted narrative that lies beneath the chaotic exterior.

This episode is dedicated in loving memory to Steven Stein Grainger.

The previously announced episode on DEATH DROP GORGEOUS had to be unavoidably delayed in order to properly grieve the loss of a cherished friend.

Instead, you're getting a previously recorded episode of THE FINAL REEL, which is one of the two podcasts that I produce exclusively for my Patreon Super Screamerz.

In Pre-COVID days, TFR provided listeners with my hot takes on the major horror movie theatrical release; often before the films even released!

Nowadays, it's morphed into a monthly mini-review highlight reel of my non-ScreamQueenz-related horror movie watched.

If a movie really struck me as great, but it doesn't meet the Gay/Horror/High Trash/Low Art requirements to discuss on the main show, films that were exceptional but don't fit into the SQ-discussion mode, THE FINAL REEl is where I'll be putting my two cents in.

And I never talk about ANY OF IT here on ScreamQueenstartz!

(06:00) THE FINAL REEL begins

In this episode of THE FINAL REEL, (originally released on May 22, 2019), I struggled to find any film worth talking about at all. That is, until just before record time when suddenly THREE movies practically lept into my lap.

(09:30) - THE CAR

In 1977, movie producers plotted to combine of THE EXORCIST and JAWS and make the most terrifying movie monster ever conceived!...

Instead, they made THE CAR, a movie mostly remembered for being specularly UN-scary.

(18:20) POOL PARTY MASSACRE

A gaggle of obnoxious richy-rich Mean Teens is summarily slaughtered at the POOL PARTY MASSACRE (2017).

And DETECTIVE POKEMON unexpectedly bucks the system and storms his way onto the show...and into my heart!

(43:00) Return to Main Show for Thoughts and Thank you's

• Giddiness

• Extreme Thirst
• Attempted Saltiness
• Disturbing, Unexplained or Otherwise Inappropriate Sexual Fantasies about Director DREW MARVICK( whom I have never met and is probably a lovely person who hopefully won't take out a restraining order against me after this.)

(This episode initially posted missing about 30 minutes of the show. This is the complete version. My apologies for any confusion.)

Take a journey back in time with us to a world of mythological monsters, petulant gods, men in miniskirts and marauding MAGGIE SMITHs.

I'm finishing off our pre-holiday look at Horror-Adjacent Comfort Films with a chat on 1981's CLASH OF THE TITANS directed by DESMOND DAVID and starring HARRY HAMLIN, LAURENCE OLIVIER, CLAIRE BLOOM, BURGESS MEREDITH and the eternally fabulous MAGGIE SMITH.

But the real star of the film is the brilliant stop-motion animation by RAY HARRYHAUSEN. (Anyone else have Medusa-induced nightmares?)

Here to help me unleash this Kraken are my very special returning guests MATT KNIFE & DOUG SHAPIRO!

In ABBOTT & COSTELLO's charmingly SPOOKTACULAR comedy THE TIME OF THEIR LIVES, two ghosts (LOU COSTELLO & MARJORIE REYNOLDS) falsely accused of being traitors during the Revolutionary War must find a lost letter from George Washington that will prove their innocence and break their curse...all while scaring the pants of their manor home's current residents!

Despite sharing almost no scenes together, this is one of the comic duo's best comedies and one of my all-time favorite comfort films.

To share in the wholesome horrors, I'm joined by JOSH KREBS and LIZ RICHARDS from BLOODY DATE NIGHT. https://bloodydatenight.podbean.com/

THE TIME OF THEIR LIVES directed by CHARLES BARTON stars BUD ABBOTT, LOU COSTELLO, MARJORIE REYNOLDS and GAYLE SONDERGAARD and BINNIE BARNES.
