"Outrageous!"-"Ridiculous!"-"Offensive!"-"Fabulous!"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.Links referenced in this episode:univozpods.netflyingfoxtavern.comicepalace.clubUnkle SpookyThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podtrac - https://analytics.podtrac.com/privacy-policy-gdrp

"You can fool everybody, but landy deary me, you can't fool a cat!"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.My special guest this episode are TARA GARNER and KASEY LOMAN.CAT PEOPLE was produced by VAL LEWTON, directed by JACQUES TOURNEUR, written by DEWITT BODEEN and stars SIMONE SIMON, KENT SMITH, JANE RANDOLPH and TOM CONWAY.This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podtrac - https://analytics.podtrac.com/privacy-policy-gdrp

Please excuse these crappy AI show notes. They're just placeholders until the real ones are finished later today.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.

Get ready for a far-out flight to the grooviest decade ever when IT CAME FROM THE 70's takes over ScreamQueenz Studios to talk about everyone's favorite shameless CARRIE ripoff: the 1978 made-for-tv exercise in coded lesbianism and petty revenge known as THE INITIATION OF SARAH.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.

Last time, you escaped from Camp Whistler.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.**************SPEAK OUT AGAINST CONVERSION THERAPYType RESIST @Resistbot on Instagram, X or Threads (Free) orText RESIST to 50409 (Fees may apply)Enter Name & Zip Code Copy/paste or rewrite this message to your representatives "Conversion therapy – sometimes called reparative therapy – is the discredited and harmful practice of attempting to change one’s sexual orientation or gender identity.
