Debuting as part of Episode 114 on August 8, 2014. THE SCORNED (2005) is notorious for three reasons-

1. We're discussing perhaps the worst film ever covered on ScreamQueenz in our entire sixteen-year history.

THE SCORNED (2005) was the first-ever horror movie to be entirely cast with reality tv stars from BIg Brother, The Real World, Survivor, etc. It was created for the KILL REALITY show on E! which documented the making of the movie kind of like PROJECT GREENLIGHT but for skanks.

In THE SCORNED, a group of twentysomethings move into a Malibu beach house. but their lusty antics incur the wrath of an "avenging angel" intent of ridding the world of cuckolds and cheaters.

Part Two featuring an interview with RICHERT EASLEY from the cast of Outrageous! will air starting Saturday, December 13th!

***************************************

It's Part Three of the FRIDAY THE 13TH THE SERIES SPECTACULAR, and this time we are shining a spotlight on RICHARD BENNER, screenwriter of "And Now the News" and writer/director of the lost queer classic masterpiece OUTRAGEOUS! (1977).

In this delightful, bittersweet tale of unlikely buddies and chosen family, Robin Tuner, played by master of female impersonation CRAIG RUSSELL, is a Toronto hairdresser who dreams of someday performing in drag. One day, his mentally ill friend Liza escapes a mental hospital and shows up at his door. Can an out-of-work drag queen and a schizophrenic pregnant woman make it in a world that considers them both "less-than"?

Despite critical and box office success and being a massive hit at the Cannes Film Festival, Outrageous has sadly faded from public memory.

But Maya, Trae and Patrick are here to show you why it deserves rediscovering.

Here's where to find Richard Benner's works online.

*****

OUTRAGEOUS! was written & directed by Richard Benner and stars Craig Russell, Hollis McClaren, Richert Easley, Allan Moyle, Helen Shaver and David McIlwraith

Takeaways:

1. In this episode, we dive deep into the film 'Outrageous' and share our thoughts on its unique portrayal of friendship and mental illness, revealing how it reflects a different era of drag culture.
2. We discuss the technical struggles we faced during recording, highlighting how sometimes, bad audio is better than no audio, and we thank our listeners for their patience and support.
3. The episode is split into two parts, allowing us to explore the film in greater detail and even feature a guest appearance by actor Richert Easley, who brings firsthand insights into the film's production.
4. We touch on the film's low-budget origins and how its guerrilla-style filmmaking adds a raw authenticity that resonates with audiences, making it a charming piece of queer cinema.
5. The dynamic between the main characters, Liza and Robin, serves as a powerful metaphor for found families and the importance of acceptance in relationships, especially in the LGBTQ+ community.
6. Lastly, we reflect on how 'Outrageous' has influenced contemporary queer films and the ways it has been overlooked in discussions about LGBTQ+ cinema history.

No ghosts or goblins lurk inside the Vortex.

Instead, it's a descent into a psychosexual nightmare you must travel through alone.

In pitch darkness.

Into a den of unspeakable perversion.

You are not allowed to speak.

You are not allowed to say no.

You will submit.

And you will scream.

Say goodbye to ScreamQueenz with ARNOLD, a delightfully bizarre but tragically forgotten horror comedy of 1973.

In the first five minutes of ARNOLD, a gold-digging flight attendant marries a corpse...and that's the least weird thing that happens for the rest of the movie.

It's the kind of movie that makes you ask, "Are the straights ok???"

ARNOLD combines classic Gothic horror elements like a creepy old house filled with secret passages and peekaboo portraits with a kitschy star-studded cast so dripping in 1970's kitsch, they deserve their own episode of the Love Boat.

So squeeze into the gondola with my special guests TRAE DEAN, DOUG SHAPIRO as we take one last ride through the ScreamQueenz Spookhouse, but whatever you do...

DON'T keep your hands to yourself!

****

If you're in New Hampshire, catch Doug Shapiro in a show at the Barnstormers Theater.

ARNOLD was directed by Georg Fenady, written by Jameson Brewer & John Fenton Murray and stars Stella Stevens, Roddy McDowell, Elsa Lanchester, Shani Willlis, Bernard Fox, Farley Granger, Jaime Farr and Victor Buono.

The movie is a tough cookie, but MAYA MURPHY and I here to break it down and make it all a bit simpler for you.

Together we’ll explore the layers of this challenging but rewarding yet deeply f***ed up film. Trust me, there’s more than just the hyperviolence, graphic nudity and car sex surface to uncover.

So buckle up, because we’re about to embark on a journey through the bizarre and beautiful chaos that is "Titane."

Takeaways:

• The film 'Titane' explores complex themes of identity, sexuality, and the nature of humanity through its unique narrative.
• The lead character's relationship with cars serves as a metaphor for deeper emotional connections and societal taboos around sexuality.
• Despite its shocking elements, 'Titane' ultimately reveals a story about acceptance, love, and the struggle for identity in a harsh world.
• Understanding 'Titane' requires looking beyond its surface-level provocations to appreciate its artistic commentary on life and human experience.

But just when they think they've gotten away with it, the wicked quartet encounter dark savage justice when one by one they are terrorized and killed by a figure in a scarecrow costume.

Well, enough about me. Let's talk about SLEEPWALKERS!

Join me, Patrick Walsh, and my guest, everyone's favorite New York City-based undead horror host Unkle Spooky on a deranged deep dive into the delicious chaos that is STEPHEN KING'S SLEEPWALKERS, a film as taboo and flawed as it is wildly entertaining.

Tanya and Charles are the perfect All-American high school couple about to go on their first date. Unfortunately for Tanya, Charles and his mother are unkillable incestuous shapeshifting werecats who feed on the souls of young virgins, and Tanya is next on their menu!

Will Tanya fall prey to these kinky beasts? Or is there an adorable four-legged hero somewhere who knows the one thing that can stop this monstrous duo forever?

Look, I know this movie is a hot mess, but I still love it, warts and all, because hiding under all the absurdity, there's true greatness just waiting for someone to find it.

And that someone is ME.

SLEEPWALKERS was directed by Mick Garris, written by Stephen King and stars Mädchen Amick, Brian Krause, Alice Krige and Ron Perlman.

Irena, a lonely young Serbian immigrant, believes she is descended from a tribe of shape-shifting witches and fears that any physical intimacy will change her into a killer jungle cat. Irena can run. Irena can hide. But she cannot deny the Beast Inside.

CAT PEOPLE somehow managed to tell a clearly queer-coded tale of forbidden desires and unspeakable passions at the height of Hayes Code Production censorship, and we are thrilled that it did, because this film is a delight to watch.

Prepare yourself for a wild ride through the Canadian horror weirdness when host Patrick Walsh is joined by the fabulous Creepy Kitsch girls, Cindy and Stacy to discuss MARGAUX: the killer smart house movie ` for a lively discussion that ranges from the film's plot to its outrageous moments and everything in between. Right from the get-go, Patrick's infectious energy sets the tone, hinting at the movie's more ridiculous elements while also revealing unexpected layers of storytelling that caught him off guard. It’s refreshing to hear them dissect a film that many might dismiss outright, as they uncover the nuances in character development and the surprisingly well-crafted narrative that lies beneath the chaotic exterior.

The errors have been fixed. My apologies for the sloppiness.***

Punk rock will never die!

But punk rockers sure do.

Plus they are delicious.

In UNCLE PECKERHEAD (currently streaming on Prime, Hulu, Sling TV and The Roku Channel), a fledging punk band starting out on their first tour discovers their new hot Southern daddy roadie is also a man-eating...thing.

They also discover...that's not a dealbreaker.

On the surface, "Uncle Peckerhead" is a delightfully fun, gory, campy, feel-good rock 'n roll road trip movie with a ton of genuine heart that's shockingly queer positive!

But lurking deep underneath all that sweet Southern charm is an insidiously wicked "deal with the devil" Faustian pact story.

And Judy and her band are about to learn that when you bargain with the devil, he ALWAYS gets his due...

My very special guests this episode are the editor of Bear World Magazine and Stan the Mechanics' alter ego, JOHN HERNANDEZ, and co-creator and star of "Good Cops" and "I Had a Bloody Good Time at House Harker", DEREK HAUGEN.

To celebrate our favorite holiday, I'm tackling one of the most polarizing, controversial and underestimated films of the year: the Canadian experimental slasher film IN A VIOLENT NATURE. [Currently Streaming on Shudder]

Did you love it? Or did you hate it?

What happens when you strip a horror movie of all humanity?

Is it a fascinating examination of human psychology, horror voyeurism and audience ethics?

Or is it a boring slog with a few good kills and a whole lot of walking?

Joining me for this episode are my co-hosts from "Damn You Uncle Lewis", Trae Dean and Maya Murphy.

We'll explore how director Chris Nash toyed with the basic rules of filmmaking to craft a film designed deliberately to make viewers feel mentally detached and emotionally.

More importantly, we'll make you understand why he made the movie this way.

Whether you loved IN A VIOLENT NATURE or hated it, you'll see it in a brand new light after this episode of ScreamQueenz!

Excerpts of MICHAEL CAINE are from Michael Caine: On Acting In Film (1987) Directed by DAVID G. CROFT.

IN A VIOLENT NATURE was written and directed by CHRIS NASH and stars RY BARRETT, ANDREA PAVALOVIC, CAMERON LOVE, REESE PRESLEY, LIAM LEONE, CHARLOTTE CREAGHAN, LEA ROSE SEBASTIANIS, SAM ROULSTON, ALEXANDER OLIVER, TIMOTHY PAUL MCCARTHY, JT JACOBS and LAUREN MARIE TAYLOR

ScreamQueenz is still on hiatus, so please enjoy this Flashback to April 1, 2016 - Episode #147 on MUTE WITNESS with special guests CHRYSTEN PEDDIE and DAN COHEN from KILLING YOUR DARLINGS.

While working on a low-budget horror film shooting in Moscow, a mute American special effects artist gets locked inside the dilapidated movie studio after hours. While trapped inside she stumbles across a snuff film being shot and witnesses a real murder. Can she escape the dark, deserted studio without alerting the killers? And if she does, will anyone believe her?

MUTE WITNESS is a masterclass in nail-biting suspense, so trust nothing.

Trust no one.

And most of all...don't believe your eyes!

MUTE WITNESS will be available to stream on Shudder starting on April 1st!

Written & directed by ANTHONY WALLER.

Starring MARINA ZUDINA, FAY RIPLEY, EVAN RICHARDS and OLEG JANKOWSKI.

What starts as an idyllic trip to the Canadian wilderness for two women celebrating their first wedding anniversary turns into a brutal battle for survival where no one is who they seem to be in WHAT KEEPS YOU ALIVE.

Is this movie a new queer horror classic?

Or is it homophobic?

Helping me sort through the twisted web of deceit and violence are my two very special guests: fashion designer & cohost of Beauty, the Beast & the B's ANGI HOGABOOM and Actual Canadian TARA GARNER.

**It would behoove you to watch this movie as cold as possible, and DO NOT WATCH THE SPOILER RIDDEN TRAILER.**

Currently streaming on TUBI and SHUDDER.

Check out Tara's interview on CINEMA CRAZED.

WHAT KEEPS YOU ALIVE was written and directed by COLIN MINIHAN and stars BRITTANY ALLEN, HANNAH EMILY ANDERSON, MARTHA MACISAAC and JOEY KLEIN.

*****

Once upon a time on a cold and lonely farm in the cold and lonely mountains lived a couple who were also cold and lonely and very very sad.

Then one day, they found a most unusual little girl named Ada.

They decided to raise Ada as their own.

It seemed all their prayers were answered!

But who...or what...is Ada?

Friend or fiend?

Angel or demon?

Miracle or monster?

The movie LAMB is many things.

Folktale. Fable. Parable. Warning.

But is it horror???

To get to the core of this most unusual film, I am delighted to be joined by OSO SCRUFFY and the Reverend BEN FITZGERALD-FYE.

LAMB was directed by Valdimar Jóhannsson and stars Noomi Rapace, Hilmir Snær Guðnason and Björn Hlynur Haraldsson.

At present, LAMB is available for streaming on AMAZON PRIME or wherever you buy or rent videos.

*****

You know how I love a movie full of rich obnoxious jerks who are all secretly trying to murder each other so they can inherit a mountain of money?

THIS IS ONE OF THOSE MOVIES!

Except it's also SUPER GAY!

THE ESTATE is the wickedly hilarious brainchild of writer/star CHRIS BAKER and his IRL partner, director JAMES KAPNER.

It's the story of rich spoiled egotistical George and his rich spoiled gold-digging sex-hungry stepmom who seduce/hire a hot bisexual hitman to help them take down the cruel manipulative family patriarch, so they can inherit his massive estate.

The only thing is...murder is a lot like potato chips.

It's hard to stop at just one.

For a movie this twisted, I need a guest host who is even more twisted, and that could only be the fabulous TRAE DEAN.

My apologies to CHRIS BAKER whom my COVID Foggy brain insisted on calling "Chris Baxter" throughout the recording.

THE ESTATE is currently available on HULU or wherever you rent movies.

THE ESTATE stars CHRIS BAKER, ELIZA COUPE, GREG FINLEY, ERIC ROBERTS, HEATHER MATARAZZO, EZRA BUZZINGTON and ALEXANDRA BILLINGS.

To celebrate, we're taking a break from psychological analysis and sociological impacts to get absolutely bonkers with the outrageous zombie comedy out of Belgium called YUMMY (currently streaming on SHUDDER and AMC+).

A young woman travels to a shady Eastern European hospital for a discount breast reduction and instead must survive a zombie uprising when it turns out her surgeon's experimental surgery techniques have deadly side effects. Can anyone survive this orgy of blood, boobs and Belgian waffles???

There's something about this movie.

It's a not-particularly scary carbon copy of the "Awkard Girl With Secret Powers Get Revenge" trope.

By all rights, it should have been forgotten a long time ago.

But it wasn't.

And it's not just "remembered fondly".

This movie is beloved.

Join Patrick K. Walsh and his guest co-pilots TARA GARNER and KASEY LOMAN (Evil Goods Graphic Designs) as they explore the powerful hold SARAH has had on our hearts since we first met her 45 years ago.

But no one ever leaves Abraham House.

Our exploration into the horrific world of conversion therapy and queer conversion camps continues with a discussion of CHILDREN OF SIN written and directed by CHRISTOPHER WESLEY MOORE from HOMOS ON HAUNTED HILL.

When Emma's abusive new stepfather finds out she's pregnant and that her brother Jackson is gay, he ships them off to Abraham House where religious zealot Mary Esther promises to bring these sinners home to Jesus...one way or another.

CHILDREN OF SIN may be microbudget.

CHILDREN OF SIN may be rough around the edges.

Yet CHILDREN OF SIN delivers everything THEY/THEM promised to and failed:

Scares, gore, tension, queer characters that feel real and a gleefully charismatic villain you'll love to hate.

But more importantly, CHILDREN OF SIN has the audacity and courage to point the finger of blame at those responsible for the real-life horrors on which this film was based.

I am once again joined by my very special guests the Reverend BEN FITZGERALD-FYE @pastorfabulous and TARA GARNER @tara_rahboomdeay.

CHILDREN OF SIN is currently streaming on TUBI and stars JO-ANN ROBINSON, MEREDITH MOHLER, LEWIS HINES, JEFF BUCHWALD, KENI BOUNDS and CHRISTOPHER WESLEY MOORE.

"Conversion therapy – sometimes called reparative therapy – is the discredited and harmful practice of attempting to change one’s sexual orientation or gender identity. This philosophy is based on wildly outdated notions and bigotry. It is currently legal to promote and engage in this dangerous technique. Youth often have no choice when this treatment is sought out by their parent or guardian, yet this practice can have detrimental impacts for years and decades to come.  

Since 1975 – 44 years – the American Psychological Association has stated that homosexuality is not a mental illness, yet throughout our state organizations and individuals continue to masquerade “conversion therapy” as a legitimate and psychologically backed option for LGBTQ youth – to “cure” them of being who they are. In fact, all major mental health organizations have deemed conversion therapy as unethical, ineffective and dangerous to the well-being of clients.

This is an affront to thriving adult members of the LGBTQ+ community, and most importantly it is an attack on the health and well-being of LGBTQ+ youth. Fostering an environment in which LGBTQ+ youth are told they can be “cured,” or even suggesting that they need to be cured of something that is a natural part of who they are is the true psychological harm.

We believe that therapy shouldn’t become deadly; according to a 2019 article by USA Today, “Suicide attempts nearly tripled for LGBT young people who reported both home-based efforts to change their sexual orientation by parents and formal intervention efforts by external parties, such as therapists and religious leaders…” And data from the Pew Research Center notes that LGB youth are five times more likely to have attempted suicide than their heterosexual peers, and that 40% of transgender adults have attempted suicide (92% of those before the age of 25). Societal “norms” and pressures have an immense impact on our youth. It is the responsibility of our leaders to fight against adversity, protect our citizens, and create a brighter future for our children. We must do everything in our power to ensure those pressures don’t include state sanctioned emotional and mental abuse, such as conversion therapy

LGBTQ youth deserve to grow up in a world and have an environment in which they are encouraged to thrive, free from the constraints of a misinformed pseudo-medical community promising a chance to “cure” something that is not wrong with them.

National and international professional boards in the medical and psychological community agree; Conversion therapy has been condemned by The American Psychological Association, American Psychiatric Association, American Medical Association, American Academy of Family Physicians, American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, American Counseling Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, American Psychoanalytic Association, Australian Psychological Society, British Psychological Association, Endocrine Society, National Association of Social Workers, Psychological Society of Ireland, Psychological Society of South Africa, and the World Professional Association for Transgender Health.

Twenty states and DC have already banned this harmful practice. I call on ours to join them in protecting our youth."

On the surface, the movie Blumhouse's THEY/THEM had everything going for it:

• A slasher film with a novel queer conversion camp setting.
• Three-time Oscar-nominated screenwriter John Logan at the helm.
• Kevin Bacon's return to his horror roots.
• Queer characters actually played by queer actors.

With a built-in audience, undeniable talent, and seemingly the best intentions, THEY/THEM seem poised to take Queer Horror Cinema to the next level while exposing the real-life horrors of conversion therapy.

Instead, it failed on almost every level.

We'll uncover themes of the treacherous complexity of male psychology, the danger of expressing male affection & the normalization of homophobic violence.

This episode is not only a celebration of a remarkable film, but also a reminder of the power of redemption, transformation, and the bonds that tie us all together.

In UMMA, a Korean-American woman living on an isolated farm with her teenage daughter has her world turned upside down when the ashes of her abusive mother are delivered for her to bury. The longer she resists giving her Umma her final respects, the angrier Umma's spirit becomes.

At first glance, UMMA is a straightforward ghost/possession story that plays with the universal fear of becoming one's parents.

But lurking underneath is a complex spiderweb of generational trauma, the cycle of abuse and the uniquely Korean cultural syndrome known as Hwa-Byung.

To help me navigate these dark and dangerous waters, I am delighted to have two very special guests: author and actor RORY KELSCH ("I Am Strength: Tales of Everyday Superwomen") and actor, singer and activist ERIN QUILL ("Avenue Q", "The Mikado Project).

UMMA is currently available on Netflix.

UMMA was written & directed by IRIS K. SHIM and stars SANDRA OH, FIVEL STEWART, DERMOT MULRONEY, MEE WAA ALANA LEE, ODEYA RUSH and TOM YI.

For more information about Hwa-Byung Syndrome, check out this article from Exploring Your Mind.

Our month-long focus on SEAN S. CUNNINGHAM concludes with a look at his 1985 teen action thriller THE NEW KIDS (aka STRIKING BACK).

After being orphaned, Loren & Abby must relocate to live with their uncle and quickly run afoul of the local gang of drug-pushing bullies. The situation quickly escalates into a deadly battle for their lives set in an abandoned amusement park.

You can expect:

• a terrifying performance from JAMES SPADER.
• training montages within training montages.
• a shocking amount of homoerotic imagery.
• one of the most 80's music scores the 80's ever produced.

For your protection, I have enlisted as my guests Krav Maga master TRAE DEAN and Canada's foremost Attack Goose trainer TARA GARNER.

THE NEW KIDS was directed by SEAN S. CUNNINGHAM, written by STEPHEN GYLLENHAAL & BRIAN TAGGERT, and stars SHANNON PRESBY, LORI LOUGHLIN, JAMES SPADER, ERIC STOLTZ, and TOM ATKINS.

THE NEW KIDS is not currently streaming on any platforms but can be rented on YouTube.

Now, I'm thirteen years older.

I'm thirteen years wiser.

It's time to go back to where it all started.

I'm going back to Camp Crystal Lake.

But this time...I'm not going alone.

I've enlisted the help of two fabulous out, gay horror filmmakers, BART MASTRONARDI ("Vindication", "Tales of Poe") and MICHAEL VARRATI ("Tales of Poe", "Dragula", MIDNIGHT MASS Podcast), and together we discuss the artistry, psychology & staying power of the original FRIDAY THE 13TH in a way you have never heard before.

Following the tradition of the past few years, I let you, the listeners, decide what holiday horror movie I covered in December.

You spoke.

I obey.

The winner by a landslide was BLACK XMAS (2006).

A houseful of sorority sisters are about to wish they went home for Christmas break, because serial killer Billy Lenz just escaped from the mental hospital, and he doesn't care if they've been naughty or nice.

This controversial remake of the 1974 classic caused rifts in the horror community, but whether you love it or hate it, you're gonna have a great time listening, because my very special guests are CINDY KINNARD-DIAMOND and STACY PARKER from CREEPY KITCH.

BLACK XMAS is currently available on Hulu.

BLACK XMAS was directed by GLENN MORGAN ("Final Destination", "The X-Files", "Willard") and stars KATIE CASSIDY, ANDREA MARTIN, MICHELLE TRACHTENBERG, LACEY CHABERT, MARY ELIZABETH WINSTEAD and KRISTEN CLOAKE.

Despite the provocative title, PORNO (2019) isn't really about explicit nudity, sex and exploitation. At its core, it's a surprisingly thoughtful morality play about faith and what happens when that faith is put to the ultimate test.

In order to properly peruse the rich story hiding under all the blood and boobs, I needed two extra guests: filmmaker and beard magician OSO EWERT and Pastor Fabulous himself BEN FITZGERALD-FYE

Make your beard look fabulous with products for OSO SCRUFFY

PORNO was directed by KEOLA RACELA, written by MATT BLACK & LAURENCE VANNICELLI and stars EVAN DAVES, LARRY SAPERSTEIN, GLENN STOTT, JILLIAN MUELLER, ROBBIE TANN, KATELYN PEARCE, BILL PHILLIPS & PETER REZINKOFF

Love bites. Love bleeds.

Love lives. Love dies.

Love begs. Love pleads.

Love is Grimm.

The final stop on our "Dark Side Of Rainbow" tour leads us into the darkest, most dangerous reaches of the forest where the only monsters are us.

GRIMM LOVE is a fictionalization of the infamous "German gay cannibal case" in which Armin Meiwes killed and ate his willing victim Bernd Brandes.

Yet despite the grisly sensational subject matter, GRIMM LOVE weaves a tale that is as hauntingly beautiful as it is horrifically tragic.

To help me navigate this twisted path, I've enlisted MAYA MUPHY from "DAMN YOU, UNCLE LEWIS!" and ROSEWATER.

GRIMM LOVE is available on Prime, Tubi and Peacock.

Directed by MARTIN WEISS. Starring KERI RUSSELL, THOMAS KRETSCHMANN and THOMAS HUBER.
