1BR (2020) and THE SIREN (2019) Sep 20, 2020

Show notes

In celebration of the 11th Season of SCREAMQUEENZ: The Podcast where Horror Gets Gay, everything old is new again...

I'm resurrecting THE CRAPSHOOT; the segment of the show where I dive headfirst into that vast sea of Direct-To-Video horror movie releases in search of that elusive Diamond in the ****Pile!

And to add to the craziness, I'm making it a DOUBLE CRAPSHOOT!

First up is 1BR (2020) written & directed by DAVID MARMOUR:

Sarah (NICOLE BRYDON BROOM) is a young woman who moves to Los Angeles and a manages to find a sweet new apartment and a whole heap of deadly trouble

1BR was recommended by TRAE DEAN, and if THE CRAPSHOOT is back....so is THE FIRING SQUAD! (Good luck, Trae....Nice knowing you!)

Next up is THE SIREN (2019):

In this dark fairy tale, three lost souls have an encounter on the banks of an idyllic lake: an innocent mute, a man consumed with loss, and a monster doomed to drown everyone she meets.

THE SIREN was directed by PERRY BLACKSHEER ("They Look Like People") and stars MARGARET YING DRAKE, MACLOUD ANDREWS and EVAN DUMACHEL.

TYLER JENSEN & ROMAN CHIMIENTI - "Scream, Queen! My Nightmare on Elm Street" - The LGBT Horror Filmmaker Sessions: Part 4 Jun 30, 2020

Show notes

Once upon a time, two fierce young filmmakers set out to make a documentary about the legend of Mark Patton.

They were never heard from again...

In this fourth installment of my casual chats with out gay horror filmmakers, I'm honored to have with me TYLER JENSEN and ROMAN CHIMIENTI, the co-directors of the smash hit documentary SCREAM QUEEN! MY NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET.

In addition to discussing the challenges of piecing together a cohesive and powerful story as it unfolds in real time, we discuss the evolution of A Nightmare on Elm Street 2's queer storylines from stigma to cultural touchstone, homophobia on the convention circuit and the importance of gay mentorship.

Scream Queen! My Nightmare on Elm Street sets the records straight about the controversial sequel to A Nightmare on Elm Street, which ended Mark Patton’s acting career, just as it was about to begin. Scream Queen follows Patton as he travels to horror conventions across the U.S.

Each new city unwraps a chapter from his life that is met with equal parts joyful and bittersweet detail, as he attempts to make peace with his past and embrace his legacy as cinema’s first male “scream queen.” Scream Queen also finds Patton confronting Freddy’s Revenge cast and crew for the first time, including co-stars Robert Rusler, Kim Myers and Clu Gulager, as well as Freddy Krueger himself, Robert Englund.

THE SHAPE OF WATER is Queer AF! - with MAYA MURPHY Jun 08, 2020

Show notes

“It was never too late to exchange the things you believed defined you for something better.”

-Guillermo Del Toro

To kick off Pride Month, I've chosen to discuss GUILLERMO DEL TORO's Oscar-winning fantasy film, THE SHAPE OF WATER.

On the surface, the story appears to be simply a sci fi Beauty and the Beast/Creature From the Black Lagoon mashup.

Look closer, and you'll see a story of people who are considered "less than" by a cruel and soulless society who rise up to fight against that system in the name of an untraditional love.

Not only is that Queer AF, but the film also echoes much of what is happened today with the #BlackLivesMatter movement.

My special guest is actor/singer/supervillian MAYA MURPHY (21st Century Demon Hunter).

THE SHAPE OF WATER was written and directed by GUILLERMO DEL TORO and stars SALLY HAWKINS, DOUG JONES, OCTAVIA SPENCER, RICHARD JENKINS and MICHAEL SHANNON. It also won the 2018 Academy Award for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Music and Best Production Design.
