We go way back to the very beginning to look at one of the earliest glimpses into the nature of the vampire as we wrap up MAY we suck your blood where we have been looking at vampires all month long. This may be it for the month, but something tells me that we'll be hearing the soft voices of bloodsuckers later this year. But for now, we respond to a frequent refrain to come snuggle by the tit...

"Shall we try this again, Daniel?" is the question on everyone's mind as MAY we suck your blood? - our month-long set of episodes about vampires - continues with the 2022 Interview With The Vampire series, developed by Rolin Jones and based on The Vampire Chronicles series by Anne Rice, particularly the first book of the same name, published in 1973.

Time to wrap up Excommunic-April by attending Midnight Mass, specifically the episode of revelations, "Book III: Proverbs."

Next week is the ⁠May the Fierce Protect You drag brunch⁠ , hosted by ⁠Distant Echoes: A Star...

When joined by Alyssa Gray of the Silver Scream podcast , we couldn't help but to think that it's "an excellent day for an exorcism" as we cover the 1973 religious horror tentpole film, The Exorcist , directed by William Friedkin and adapted for the screen by William Peter Blatty, based on his own novel. Hot take: this is a good movie, and to support that thesis, we'll look at how the cosmic stake...

Excommunic-April continues with an ancient evil once sealed away that has been unleashed! No, I'm not talking about the character who influenced Halloween costumes everywhere in 2016, the demon Valak, but instead the horror unleashed is the 2018 film, The Nun, directed by Corin Hardy. We talk about the film's ability to skillfully dodge interesting subplots to provide more time for zombie...

Welcome to Excommunic-April where we are covering religious and Catholic horror all month long. And there's no better place to start than the 2022 video game compilation, Faith: The Unholy Trinity developed by Airdorf Games and published by New Blood Interactive! We gush about rotoscoping, hot priests, computer voices, and the incredibly effective pray-em-up mechanics of this righteously diffi...

Prepare to be edged by four guys in the woods as we're joined by guest Doug Fink to discuss the 2017 film The Ritual , directed by David Bruckner and adapted by Joe Barton from the novel by Adam Nevill. We talk about what works which is not a lot as we pitch ideas for a much better film, but Moder watches us all, even as we discuss how we would pull off a multi-person Halloween costume of this anc...

This is a company town and nothing can stand in the way of the evil of capitalism except what lies beneath and what lies around. We talk about the 2019 anthology horror fiction podcast The Old Gods of Appalachia , written by Steve Shell and Cam Collins. Wow, humble brag much? This podcast is a proud part of the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ . Follow the podcas...

It is time to keep your appointment with The Wicker Man from 1973. Any maypole is a goal as Queer as Folk Horror month continues with this classic film, notably not with Nicolas Cage, directed by Robin Hardy. Beatles are on threads, there are wild music cues, and it is all kinds of sexy up in here! Practice your choppy choppy dance! This podcast is a proud part of the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Glitterjaw Que...

Queer as Folk Horror continues as we trade flowers for cakes for workmen in the point-and-click adventure, The Excavation of Hob's Barrow developed by Shaun Aitcheson of Cloak and Dagger Games. We discuss Victorian pants-wearing heroine, Thomasina (Samantha Beart, aka Karlach), as we navigate the moors and discover the truth that lies beneath the titular barrow (and answer the question "what's a b...

Let's kick off Queer as Folk Horror month by taking a little journey. That's right, it's time to go on a trip (geographical, to Sweden; and metaphorical, under the influence of substances) as we take on the 2019 film, Midsommar , written and directed by Ari Aster. But in the end, maybe the real journey was the friends who really sucked along the way. The sun never sets on the Hårga empire as we ta...

We are wrapping up Furry February by celebrating a fowl and feathery flock in Alfred Hitchcock's 1963 film, The Birds . While we all came for some terrorizing birds, imagine how happy we were to discover a beautiful queer romance, but these girlfriends aren't able to love because of a swarm of gull-fiends ! We also talk about men poured into sweaters, children continuing to deserve all the harms i...

This house is the paw-prety of a gang of queer cats and we will wade through every canned cat noise that has ever been made on our journey to explore the invasion of a straight family to this idyllic, remote house. It all starts going wrong when the original grumpy cat leads his army of stray cats to war - but can they vanquish a come-to-life cabbage patch doll of a child? Find out in this episode...

Well, it's terror time again! Tune your television sets to Exposition in the Morning and head back to the exploits of zombies, cats, dogs, and cat-people on the sort of misnamed Zombie Island (it's really more of a peninsula). We talk about the red herrings and try to work out the mystery of real monsters while jamming out to incredibly late 1990s rock, joined by Scooby superfan Amanda Souchik-Beu...

Unlock childhood memories and listen to us discover that sun-dried tomatoes are just more effectively marketed tomato raisins as we discuss the children's horror classic Bunnicula, written by James and Deborah Howe.

Wolfie lives! Load up at the smorgasbord of horror tropes as we get together with our group of - are these supposed to be friends? - while we play the just-a-heterosexuality-simulator-until-the-murders-start with the 2015 horror video game, Until Dawn and its 2024 remake. We are joined by voice actor, Matt Bartlett (podcast credits: CHAD: A Fallout 76 Story , Do You Copy? , Nightmares Unleashed )...

We are keeping it campy this time with a soupçon of drama as we talk about the iconic television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer with the Season 3, Episode 6 entry, "Band Candy." You can just hear Principal Snyder telling you that there are some "foxy ladies here tonight," and he was talking about us! So whether you're no longer a girl, but not yet a slayer, or one half of...

They're all going to laugh at you ... if you don't listen to our conversation about the 1976 film, Carrie , that is. We talk about a saint who is a gay icon, a genuinely Dora the Explorer moment, and that big John Travolta jump scare in this film as we continue our journey through Jan-TEEN-uary, where we are talking teens in horror all month long! They're called breasts, mama! This podcast is a pr...

Welcome back, listeners. We love you all dearly and queerly as we talk about this totally 80s kickoff to our month-long celebration of TEENS with the 2016 novel by Grady Hendrix, My Best Friend's Exorcism . We've got the beat (and plenty of holy water) as we navigate what's normal, what's not normal, and what is supernatural! The power of Phil Collins compels you to check out this episode, share,...

Ho ho ho! Happy holidays, listeners! We promise not to moan into the microphone too much as we talk about the classic and inspirational horror Black Christmas from director Bob Clark. We ask if it's horror, if it's queer, and if it's Christmas while we talk about floofy cats, sneaky drinking, and toxic masculinity that comes adorned in gorgeous coats and floppy hair. Wrap your presents, hang your...

Are we in the suburbs, or is it just a cloying prison manufactured to keep us compliant while we slowly suffocate? And really - what's the difference?

We talk abou...
