ScreamQueenz: Where Horror Gets GAY!

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

******

Please be aware that this episode was recorded during one of my days-long insomnia, so ...

Be prepared for:

• Giddiness
• Increased Babbling
• 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.

In celebration of the 11th Season of SCREAMQUEENZ: The Podcast where Horror Gets Gay, everything old is new again...

I'm resurrecting THE CRAPSHOOT; the segment of the show where I dive headfirst into that vast sea of Direct-To-Video horror movie releases in search of that elusive Diamond in the ****Pile!

And to add to the craziness, I'm making it a DOUBLE CRAPSHOOT!

First up is 1BR (2020) written & directed by DAVID MARMOUR:

Sarah (NICOLE BRYDON BROOM) is a young woman who moves to Los Angeles and a manages to find a sweet new apartment and a whole heap of deadly trouble

1BR was recommended by TRAE DEAN, and if THE CRAPSHOOT is back....so is THE FIRING SQUAD! (Good luck, Trae....Nice knowing you!)

Next up is THE SIREN (2019):

In this dark fairy tale, three lost souls have an encounter on the banks of an idyllic lake: an innocent mute, a man consumed with loss, and a monster doomed to drown everyone she meets.

THE SIREN was directed by PERRY BLACKSHEER ("They Look Like People") and stars MARGARET YING DRAKE, MACLOUD ANDREWS and EVAN DUMACHEL.
