HMSG Interview Heather O. Petrocelli - "Chopper Chicks from Zombietown"
We got to finally chat with friend of the podcast Heather O. Petrocelli, author of QUEER FOR FEAR, about an under seen Troma Gem CHOPPER CHICKS IN ZOMBIETOWN (1989).
Dr. Heather O. Petrocelli - is a film critic, writer, and researcher who works with transdisciplinary methods across film studies, queer theory, and public history. This academic foundation, combined with a life-long horror obsession and experience studying, programming, making, and marketing film, informs their debut book Queer for Fear: Horror Film and the Queer Spectator (2023).
Petrocelli’s text sets out to ‘craft the first cohesive portrait of horror-loving queers,’ surveying 4,107 queer horror fans and conducting in-depth oral history interviews with fifteen ‘narrators.’ A post-binary dyke scholar, Heather is especially passionate about engaging with and making visible queer stories and experiences.
We highly recommend you check out Heather's amazing video essay on YouTube that gives you a short rundown of what's covered in her fabulous book!
We hope you enjoy digging into this fresh, very un-dead episode! Brains!!!
