ScreamQueenz: Where Horror Gets GAY!

Main segment begins at 10:00 Join me in celebrating WOMEN IN HORROR Month with one of my all-time favorite bad girls: PATTY MCCORMACK's legendary performance as the murderous little RHODA PENMARK in 1956's classic shocker THE BAD SEED. I'm joined by two more fabulous women in horror: Actress ALYSSA SIMON and filmmaker JESSI GOTTA who are also here to talk about their new film THE MOOSEHEAD OVER THE MANTEL: a movie as smart as it is unsettling. https://vimeo.com/224270033 Also the return of THE UNDERPANTS GODOT (March 12-14 at The Secret Theater, NYC, a flu-ridden TV recommendation and a new way to help support your favorite podcasts!

I'm still not feeling like myself, but that's no reason for you to spend VALENTINE'S DAY without a suitably romantic episode of ScreamQueenz. Enjoy this taste of OLD TIME RADIO and discover HOW LOVE CAME TO PROFESSOR GUILDEA (based on the short story by ROBERT S. HICHENS) from the classic suspense program ESCAPE! See, the old prof thinks love is a weakness.  But he's about to encounter a supernatural force that doesn't handle rejection well.

(Main segment begins at 6:00)New Year's Eve may be over, but there's still one more party to attend...and it might be your last one ever!  We're discussing the 1980 slasher whodunnit classic TERROR TRAIN starring the original scream queen,  JAMIE LEIGH CURTIS! A year's end costume party aboard an antique excursion train turns deadly for a group of medical students when a prank victim from their past returns to seek revenge in this beloved whodunnit. Thank you to PATRON STEVE for selecting this Canadian gem as his reward. Joining me are two of my UNDERPANTS GODOT cohorts, playwright DUNCAN PFLASTER and MARK-EUGENE GARCIA, who are also here to talk about their brand new gay comedy crime caper movie, STRAPPED FOR DANGER. MARK and DUNCAN .  Also, find out the deep dark secret I've been hiding for three weeks... Spoiler: It's not cute. _________________________________________________________________________________________ Since new allegations against DAVID COPPERFIELD have arisen since the time of recording, be sure not to miss the PATREON exclusive roundtable chat regarding this topic as well as newly discovered information about confirmed lost LGBT plotlines in TERROR TRAIN. _________________________________________________________________________________________ Watch STRAPPED FOR DANGER on VIMEO or get the DVD at SCORPION FILMS

(Main Segment begins at 22:10) We're kicking off the holidays with a heaping dose of 1970's grindhouse grunge, so SLEAZIN'S GREETINGS to you all! SORRELL BROOKE (The Dukes of Hazzard) and LEIF GARRETT (Cheerleader Camp) face off in a battle to the death between a small army of bloodthirsty psychotic children and a group of unfortunate adults snowbound at a remote mountain cabin in the truly bizarre DEVIL TIMES FIVE. Guaranteed to be more fun than a piranha in your *****! Also, SmoochieWatch, Bradford on Broadway, family scandals, a very special listener feedback episode, and a new SCREAMQUEEN OF THE WEEK is crowned (sort of). Check out listener ZACK LORKIEWICZ's short film THE BALL on YouTube! https://youtu.be/Q-xnkgO6ydA  

It's time to finish up our look at the 1979 mini-series THE DARK SECRET OF HARVEST HOME. The time for set up and exposition is over...now it's all bloodletting and sex rituals and assorted CORN PORN! Heading up the plow with me is TOPPIE SMELLIE, so prepare to be well seeded!

I'm sick with a horrendous head cold, so it's been hard to focus. However, enjoy this discussion of the first half of the two-part miniseries deemed TOO SINFUL by my school for me to watch as a child. Special guests: STEPHEN MORRIS and TOPPIE SMELLIE

* I'm STILL worn out from the COUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN POD-A-THON, so enjoy as the listeners take over the show with tales of their All Hallow's Eve misadventures!!

The cat is out of the bag now. There is no GRISLY GERTIE movie. It's the Halloween episode of the FACTS OF LIFE.    It's a shocking look at cannibalism and murder in a tiny town in Upstate New York that puts the trick in Trick R' Treat!   To help wade through the vast pools of blood that Gertie leaves in her wake are two of my dearest friends from college, WENDY VOELKER and MARTIN MCKEON.
