Midnight Social Distortion

I’m in love with a vampire and his name is Louis De Pointe Du Lac. In fact I’m love with AMC’s new adaptation of Anne Rice’s Interview With the Vampire after one episode as well. Here’s my take on the new show starring Sam Reid as Lestat De Lioncourt, Jacob Anderson as Louis De Pointe Du Lac, and Eric Borgosian as Daniel Malloy.

Well I’m back, back, back and it’s been a long time since I left you. So here’s a haphazard season premiere brought to you by Covid Brain Fog! I discuss my pet peeve about spoilers, my love for Ryan Douglass’s The Taking of Jake Livingston, and how January 2022 had me all the way fraked up! Please follow, subscribe, and leave a review!

In this episode I’ll be discussing Grady Hendrix’s latest novel, The Final Girl Support Group, which is a heartfelt love letter to slasher films and the final girls we root for. While the book itself is nothing but an Easter egg laden tome for the biggest of slasher fans and expertly entertaining the reader, it also tackles the latter part of the infamous tagline from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,...

In this week’s episode I’ll be discussing the various aspects of the Elm Street fandom and how they’ve impacted me to showcase my own love of the franchise. FredHeads come from various backgrounds, creeds, races, gender identities, and sexual orientations. The franchise has also produced an unlimited amount of merchandise, some that is still being manufactured today, while others have gone out of...

In this week’s episode I’ll be discussing the short lived Freddy’s Nightmares: A Nightmare on Elm Street - The Series. Lasting two seasons comprising of 44 episodes, Freddy’s Nightmares should be given its flowers not only as a viable entry into 80s horror anthologies, but also into the ANOES franchise overall. Freddy’s Nightmares isn’t really considered canon with most fans and historians, which...

Welcome Back, Gays and Strays! After a (not planned) hiatus, I am back with the first "Super Chiller" of the season with My Elm Street Journey, a "three-part" look at how the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise has shaped me throughout moments in my life. This particular episode was originally 3 hours long, so I split into two parts. Hope you enjoy!

Welcome back my Gays and Strays, here is my review for the long seated Candyman (2021) directed by the great Nia DaCosta and produced and co-written by the legendary Jordan Peele. This review is SPOILER FILLED!!!!! You’ve been warned!!!!! Also check out Mike Martin’s (IG: @mr.mike12900) short film, Say My Name, based on the Candyman mythos here: https://youtu.be/-2ymHYVUmB8

Welcome back, Gays and Strays! I finally, FINALLY, give my own thoughts on the Fear Street Trilogy (1994, 1978, 1666) as a whole, comparing the books to the movies, and the good, the bad, and the dreadful from the movies. Should we continue down this path toward Fear Street? Or should we deviate off course?

This episode is dedicated to the one and only Helen Shivers, forever our Croaker Queen. May she Rest In Peace. Processional – Dark Paradise by Lana del Rey Scriptures: “We should have a plan. Angela Lansbury always had a plan.” “Those professional types think its all about brains and ability and completely ignore the do” …”at summer's end I plan on moving to New York where I'll pursue a career as...

In this episode that went over longer than I expected, I rant about collecting figures and physical media, talk about the latest news that piqued my interests this week, and discuss the new Fear Street Trilogy and Gossip Girl trailers.

Welcome back, Gays and Strays! This week I talk (slightly drunkenly) about how Kurtis David Harder's Spiral correlates with the gaslighting of black voices within the gay community (especially during Pride) and as a whole amidst the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa Massacre.     

Welcome, Gays and Strays! I present to you my first reviews for Midnight Social Distortion: Zack Snyder's Army of the Dead (7.5 Across the Board) and Netflix's The Sons of Sam (8.5 Across the Board).
