Due to ongoing PC problems, I'm pushing the episode on STUART GORDON' s Grimm little bedtime story, the 1987 film DOLLS ...until next time. Don't feel bad for my special guests for that episode, TYLER JENSEN & ROMAN CHIMIANTE from "Scream, Queen!: My Nightmare on Elm Street". They're going to use that extra time to lurk on dark street corners and practice being butch. But the rest of us are go...

Get ready to blast off into a galaxy of gay camp and mortal terror as we go do the depths of space to battle the QUEEN OF BLOOD ! A group of astronauts on a rescue mission to Mars suddenly find themselves on the menu when the beautiful female alien they've rescued turns out to be a bloodsucking femme fatale. A solo mission to space isn't any fun. That's why I've packed today's flight roster full o...

"For a short person, you have long sentences." Start your holiday season with our MILDLY INAPPROPRIATE HOLIDAY SPECIAL where we discuss a film that is at best tangentially related to either the holiday season or the usual format for the show. This year, we're diving into the 1980 murder mystery spoof THE PRIVATE EYES starring comedy legends TIM CONWAY ("The Carol Burnett Show". "Dorf on Golf" and...

Before SILENT NIGHT DEADLY NIGHT, there was another Psycho Santa out to ruin your Christmas. Directed by DAVID HESS, star of LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT, TO ALL A GOODNIGHT (1980) is the cautionary tale of a group of finishing school girls who decide to drug their housemother so that they can throw the Christmas party to end all Christmas parties. But before you can say, "What could possibly go wrong?"...

With Thanksgiving almost upon us, it seems a good time to remind you that the old saying is true: "There's no place like home for the holidays." UNLESS perhaps your "home' has become somehow supernaturally sentient, fallen dangerously in love with you, and will kill anyone who tries to take you away from it. Don't go there. It sounds dangerous. Plus, I'm already taking you to a house JUST LIKE THA...

This Halloween, I'm inviting you to spend the night with me in TOBE HOOPER 's 1981 creepy carnival monster mashup, THE FUNHOUSE . When an evening at the carnival proves neither thrilling nor chilling enough, Amy and her friends get the bright idea to have an impromptu overnight smooch-n-grope p...

Beyond the door of THE NIGHTMARE CLOSET waiting to make me confront my childhood terrors lies... BEYOND THE DOOR from 1974 (aka CHI SEI? ) In this utterly shameless ripoff of both THE EXORCIST and ROSEMARY'S BABY , Jessica's expectancy isn't going as expected, because her future bundle of joy has already been earmarked by Satan to be his emissary of evil on Earth. Prepare yourself for: projectile...

Season Twelve kicks off with some holy terror as we discuss the last temptation of SAINT MAUD (2019) . Here to help me dodge the fire and brimstone and possibly provoke the wrath of God are my very special guests KASEY LOMAN , the creative mind behind EVILGOODS DESIGN and the FEMMES OF FRIGHT collection, and NICOLE DAVIS , co-host of MOVIE GO ROUND . In SAINT MAUD , a rather unstable nurse who has...

"I Do Not Care For Hunky Boys...Or do I???" July 26th marks eleven years since ScreamQueenz first hit the airwaves. Celebrate this dubious milestone and the end of this season with a sci-fi horror comedy love letter to the '80s & '90s that's like MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS had a baby with MY GIRL . And that baby smoked a lot of crack. Like, a LOT of crack! That movie is PG: PSYCHO GOREMAN ....

"My God...They're All Mad." For the first time in a long time, the door of THE NIGHTMARE CLOSET is about to slowly swing open once again and unleash another movie that completely traumatized me when I saw it as a child. This time, the evil let loose upon the world is BROTHERHOOD OF SATAN (1971). The tiny town of Hillsboro finds itself under attack by mysterious unknown forces. Unable to leave, ent...

Our PRIDE MONTH celebration continues with a look at the truly unusual, blood-streaked 1981 psychological thriller BUTCHER, BAKER, NIGHTMARE MAKER aka NIGHT WARNING . Billy, an orphaned teenager, finds himself being dominated by his increasingly unhinged Aunt Sheryl who's hell-bent on keeping him with her...at all costs. Despite its deceptively simple plot, BBNM is a remarkably layered film featur...

Kick off your Pride Month festivities with this deep dive into the movie that was meta before meta was cool, the moviehouse movie-within-a-movie massacre motion picture POPCORN from 1991. Tucked inside all the Grand Guignol fun, we'll be putting a special focus on the closeted life and tragic death of the film's star, TOM VILLARD. Joining me are world-famous actor a...

To help me navigate this dark and twisted path, I am delighte...

"Get Ready for the Violence of the Lambs..." It is a fact that there are more sheep in New Zealand. This tidbit of truth makes the New Zealand-based horror-comedy BLACK SHEEP all the more delicious! Thanks to brilliant gooey, over-the-top gore and monster effects, the seemingly stupid concept of "killer sheep" becomes genuinely terrifying. Add a dryly hilarious script to balance out the bloodshed,...

"Why does everything have to be so unnecessarily gross?!?" For our Salute to Irish Horror , we'll be discussing the utterly charming supernatural comedy, EXTRA ORDINARY .

If you've ever wondered what would happen when I covered a movie that truly terrified me...you're about to find out. Because LAST GIRL STANDING is a movie that shakes me to my core. Twice before I've tried to talk about this film on the show. Twice before I've had to scrap the entire project because just scratching the surface turns me into a blubbering, frightened mess. Turns out what I needed wa...

This episode is dedicated in loving memory to Steven Stein Grainger. The previously announced episode on DEATH DROP GORGEOUS had to be unavoidably delayed in order to properly grieve the loss of a cherished friend. Instead, you're getting a previously recorded episode of THE FINAL REEL , which is one of the two podcasts that I produce exclusively for my Patreon Super Screamerz. In Pre-COVID days,...

(This episode initially posted missing about 30 minutes of the show. This is the complete version. My apologies for any confusion.) Take a journey back in time with us to a world of mythological monsters, petulant gods, men in miniskirts and marauding MAGGIE SMITH s. I'm finishing off our pre-holiday look at Horror-Adjacent Comfort Films with a chat on 1981's CLASH OF THE TITANS directed by DESMON...
