ScreamQueenz: Where Horror Gets GAY!

In honor of VINCENT PRICE's birthday this week, enjoy this terrifying tale from the Golden Age of Radio.

Set in the late VIctorian era, "A Fugue in C-Minor" is a tale of mounting anxiety, doubt and fear about a new bride, voiced by IDA LUPINO recently featured in our WOMEN IN HORROR episode, begins to suspect her husband (VINCENT PRICE)may have murdered his previous wife.

But who's gaslighting whom??

"Fugue" features outstanding performances from two Hollywood legends at their game...plus murder, revenge, ghosts, creepy kids and tons of bombastic organ music to set your nerves a-tingle.

"A Fugue in C-Minor" first aired on the program SUSPENSE on July 1, 1944 and was written by LUCILLE FLETCHER ("Sorry, Wrong Number").

A Heartwarmingly wholesome tale of a boy and his....zombie??

FIDO, directed by ANDREW CURRIE, takes to a picture perfect pop art white picket fence and apple pie post-zombie apocalypse 1950's style world where the undead serve as harmless domestic servants, nannies and Mother's Little Helpers.

When little Timmy's family adopt Fido to be their house ghoul, hearty laughs and wholesome good times are sure to follow...as well as total societal upheaval and just a teeny tiny zombie uprising or two.

BUt there's a lot more to FIDO than first meets the eye.

Helping me gnaw through the delicious skin of the movie's shiny veneer and devour the hot, meaty and surprisingly scathing subtextextual innards are DAN COHEN and CHRYSTEN PEDDIE from KILLING YOUR DARLINGS.

FIDO stars BILLY CONNELLY, CARRIE-ANN MOSS, DYLAN BAKER and KESUN LODER.

 – My 50th Birthday Celebration continues as THE CRAPSHOOT returns!

My never-ending quest to find a diamond in the shit pile of VOD horror movie releases led me to a little film called SHOCK VALUE, a blackly comic yet chilling gem of a tale about dangerous ambition and deadly hubris set against the backdrop of L.A’s indie horror filmmaking scene.

After witnessing a brutal double murder, a film director (ZAK HUDSON) develops a dastardly brilliant plan to ensure his next movie is a guaranteed hit.

1. Blackmail the real-life murderer (ANTHONY BRAVO) into playing the movie’s murderer.
2. Turn him in to the police when shooting is completed.
3. Box office gold

(5:00)

What could possibly go wrong?

(10:00)

Joining in the bloody birthday fun is longtime friend/first-time guest, actor DAN DOMINGUES (also from the HOT DATE podcast).

SHOCK VALUE directed by DOUGLAS RATH also stars MICHELLE CAMPBELL, JANELLE ODAIR, WILL BRANDT and MALCOLM MCDOWELL.

(Ironically, the decision was made just before social distancing happened, so GOLD STARS to you for being ahead of fashion trends once again!)

A group of foine lads n lassies find themselves trapped on a gloomy Irish farm being hunted by science experiment gone very awry: a bloodthirsty genetically mutated bovine monster.

In other words, a Killer Cow.

No, it's not a comedy.

Directed by BILLY O' BRIEN. Starring ESSIE DAVIS ("The Babadook", "Miss FIsher's Murder Mysteries"), JOHN LYNCH and RUTH NEGGAR.

Currently available on Amazon Prime.
