"DAMN YOU UNCLE LEWIS" will be taking a hiatus from our usual coverage of FRIDAY THE 13TH THE SERIES episodes until the show launches publicly this fall.

Until then, we've put together a series of FRIDAY THE 13TH THE SERIES SPECTACULAR episodes in which we celebrate some of our favorite F13 heavy-hitting writers, directors and stars by checking out their other work.

First up, HELLO MARY LOU-PROM NIGHT 2 directed by BRUCE PITTMAN (And Now the News, The Mephisto Ring) and starring WENDY LYONS (And Now the News) and LUCAS FERREIRA (Doorway to Hell, Wedding Bell Blues).

Mary Lou Maloney won Prom Queen in 1957.

She came back to slay the competition in 1987.

She's Trae and Patrick's favorite!

But can she survive the Wrath of Maya on her first time viewing?

Tell ya later, alligator!

HELLO MARY LOU PROM NIGHT TWO is currently streaming on TUBI, Peacock, and Prime.

*****

Kick off the Halloween season with this Flashback to one of our most popular and shocking Vintage ScreamQueenz episodes when my special guest Kristin Quinn and I visited New York City's most controversial attractions, The VORTEX HAUNTED HOUSE.

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.

The Vortex Haunted House (which later became the Blackout Haunted House ceased operation in 2019. However, two documentaries are available if you'd like to more.

Watch ARNOLD for free on Youtube or buy the gorgeous new Blu-Ray from Vinegar Syndrome.

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.

This episode, we're taking on a real brain-bender: the French film "Titane"'; a whirlwind of sex, death, cars, and a whole heap of existential questions.

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.

This bonus episode of ScreamQueenz contains a newly public episode of IT CAME FROM THE '70s! originally broadcast on November 3, 2023.

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.

Your copilot for this ill-advised journey into terror is the fabulous TRAE DEAN from "Damn You, Uncle Lewis!"
