ScreamQueenz: Where Horror Gets GAY!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN, MY BEAUTIFUL SCREAMERZ!

John Carpenter Month continues with a look at his 1980 supernatural revenge flick, THE FOG starring ADRIENNE BARBEAU, JAMIE LEIGH CURTIS, TOM ATKINS, JANET LEIGH and HAL HOLBROOK.

The residents of Antonio Bay are in for quite a shock when their town's Centennial celebration is invaded by a hoard of undead sailors hellbent on revenge.

My shipmates during this meteorological massacre are world-famous actor MICHAEL KEYLOUN and the fabulous TARA GARNER.

October is JOHN CARPENTER MONTH here on ScreamQueenz, and we begin with a look at one of his lesser-known films: the taut made-for-television psychological thriller SOMEONE'S WATCHING ME! starring LAUREN HUTTON, ADRIENNE BARBEAU and DAVID BIRNEY.

Leigh Michaels is a TV director who moves into a high rise apartment building in Los Angeles when she begins to receive mysterious phone calls from a psychopathic Peeping-Tom intent on invading every aspect of her life.

My special guests are VANESSA MCENERY from THE VD CLINIC PODCAST ( https://www.legionpodcasts.com/podcasts/the-vd-clinic/) and actor DAN DOMINGUES from HOT DATE (https://www.hotdatepod.com/).

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.

Once upon a time, two fierce young filmmakers set out to make a documentary about the legend of Mark Patton.

They were never heard from again...

In this fourth installment of my casual chats with out gay horror filmmakers, I'm honored to have with me TYLER JENSEN and ROMAN CHIMIENTI, the co-directors of the smash hit documentary SCREAM QUEEN! MY NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET.

In addition to discussing the challenges of piecing together a cohesive and powerful story as it unfolds in real time, we discuss the evolution of A Nightmare on Elm Street 2's queer storylines from stigma to cultural touchstone, homophobia on the convention circuit and the importance of gay mentorship.

Scream Queen! My Nightmare on Elm Street sets the records straight about the controversial sequel to A Nightmare on Elm Street, which ended Mark Patton’s acting career, just as it was about to begin. Scream Queen follows Patton as he travels to horror conventions across the U.S.

Each new city unwraps a chapter from his life that is met with equal parts joyful and bittersweet detail, as he attempts to make peace with his past and embrace his legacy as cinema’s first male “scream queen.” Scream Queen also finds Patton confronting Freddy’s Revenge cast and crew for the first time, including co-stars Robert Rusler, Kim Myers and Clu Gulager, as well as Freddy Krueger himself, Robert Englund.

BART MASTRONARDI

Vindication, Tales of Poe

Before introducing you to ALAN ROWE KELLY, the next guest in this Pride Month series, I thought a refresher course on Bart would be helpful since these two work so frequently together.

During our insightful chat which first aired in December of 2018, we discuss some of the behind-the-scenes stories of the making of TALES OF POE, featured in Episode 227, how he managed to wrangle all of those fantastic 80’s horror legends into doing it, his encounter with CLIVE BARKER over Bart’s film VINDICATION, his on-going friendship with his Queen, ADRIENNE KING and much, much more.

Please join me for a DOUBLE FEATURE WATCH PARTY showcasing Bart's films VINDICATION & TALES OF POE.

“It was never too late to exchange the things you believed defined you for something better.”

-Guillermo Del Toro

To kick off Pride Month, I've chosen to discuss GUILLERMO DEL TORO's Oscar-winning fantasy film, THE SHAPE OF WATER.

On the surface, the story appears to be simply a sci fi Beauty and the Beast/Creature From the Black Lagoon mashup.

Look closer, and you'll see a story of people who are considered "less than" by a cruel and soulless society who rise up to fight against that system in the name of an untraditional love.

Not only is that Queer AF, but the film also echoes much of what is happened today with the #BlackLivesMatter movement.

My special guest is actor/singer/supervillian MAYA MURPHY (21st Century Demon Hunter).

THE SHAPE OF WATER was written and directed by GUILLERMO DEL TORO and stars SALLY HAWKINS, DOUG JONES, OCTAVIA SPENCER, RICHARD JENKINS and MICHAEL SHANNON. It also won the 2018 Academy Award for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Music and Best Production Design.
