ScreamQueenz: Where Horror Gets GAY!

"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.

• Queer characters actually played by queer actors...

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...

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.

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

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+).

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)...
