We continue our Pride 2026 examination of queer horror with a look at a truly unique film, a movie that challenged us in every conceivable way. If you, the listener, can make it to the end of this one without being totally alienated, consider yourself a true Bring Me The Axe fan. Thundercrack! is the collision of underground filmmakers Curt McDowell and George Kuchar. McDowell, a truly horny underground filmmaker was known for his art films containing no small amount of explicit unsimulated sex and George Kuchar was known for outrageous, ugly send-ups of "women's pictures" and melodramas. Together they made an old dark house horror movie with no small amount of body hair and body fluids. There's no small amount of sex in this movie and man alive is it gross.

Thundercrack! is a hard movie to explain. It finds several pairs of strangers stranded at the home of a mentally ill woman, a house bursting at the seams with secrets. Each one of them brings their own secrets to complicate matters. There's Roo and Sash, a pair of ladies desperate for men they cannot have. There's Chandler and Bond, the former seeking vengeance for the death of his wife, the latter desperate to have sex with Chandler. There's Toydy and Bing, a man who just wants to get behind that locked door in the living room and a man haunted by a circus gorilla that he is deeply in love with. It is a long night of madness and sex culminating in every secret boiling over at the surface. We can confidently say that there is nothing like it anywhere. Thundercrack! is a true original, a puerile lo-fi nightmare that defies you to watch it.
