ScreamQueenz Podiverse

My journey through the drunk dials I left myself during my trip to the UK continue.

To keep us somewhat on topic, I'll be telling you about the three horror themed plays I saw in London's WEST END.

LET THE RIGHT ONE IN has been adapted for the stage! They've moved it to Scotland, took out the insane cats and added dancing.

With trees. (?!?)

LOTS of Dancing With Trees. (!!!)

THE WOMAN IN BLACK has been terrifying audiences for 25 years, but can it take a cranky undead lady in a monochromatic wardrobe to scare me?

And finally, the simply titled GHOST STORIES.

I saved the best (or worst!) for last...

I'm finally back from my European trek and riddled with jet lag. But there was no way I was missing getting an episode to you at some point during GAY PRIDE MONTH.

I'm sitting down with JAY EMMITT and MATT from TWISTED KID RADIO to talk about WES CRAVEN's teenage non-sexbot cautionary tale, DEADLY FRIEND. This is actually from their episode, but I'm sharing it here with you along with the sordid details of my voyage of international embarrassment.

MEET YOUR SCREAMQUEENZ OF THE WEEK!

These are the guys I met at CLUB G/BUDDHA LOUNGE in GALWAY. They are legends.

From left, clockwise:

EMMETT: The European version of world famous author ROBERT R. BEST right down to his super-slappable cheeks.

MURRAY: The deceptively clean cut handsome devil who was the biggest lunatic of them all.

DAMIEN: The star of the DUBLIN production of WITCHES OF EASTWICK and hardcore double-fister.

ME: I am not a ScreamQueen of the week. I am however flashing a peace sign which comes across as "Cunnilingus Face".

KILLIAN: The backbone of the group. The one who keeps this motley crew out of jail and the morgue. He's not in the picture. Because someone had to hold the camera.

Because it's important.

Check out Jay and Matt on TWISTED KID RADIO on PODOMATIC.

Episode 110 will attempt prove to you that staying home is just as deadly as travelling abroad.

First, THE CRAPSHOOT returns to knock on the door of APARTMENT 1303. What horrors await inside?

Well, mostly just outrageous lip implants, a nonsensical script and perhaps the most ineptly executed movie ever made! Hooray!

Then, listener JAI FROM PHOENIX practically begged to be put in from of THE FIRING SQUAD in order to get me to watch the new found footage flick that set the TORONTO FILM FESTIVAL ablaze with talk.

I'm talking about AFFLICTED , in which two lifelong friends set out on an expedition around the globe seeking adventure and excitement. Instead, they find....well, really unpleasant shit.

Did I like it? Will JAI escape the wratch of my itchy trigger fingered gunman?

Only time will tell....

I am joined this week by director/writer/man of woofiness SHAWN EWERT to talk about the deliciously fluffy puff pastry of retro campy queeny zombie mayhem known as CREATURES FROM THE PINK LAGOON!

While bathing suits are optional at this sexy summer lake house, insect repellent is STRONGLY recommended.

Plus, Shawn will be giving us the inside scoop on his own upcoming fegula fright flick, SACRAMENT.

PROXY: A twist-filled shocker that will leave you looking funny at that pregnant lady at the supermarket.

STAGE FRIGHT: There's a slasher loose at musical theater camp. Finally, a movie made just for me!!

OCULUS: The mainstream release that will make you think twice before going furniture shopping.

Get the SHOWGIRLS:THE MUSICAL Original Cast Recordingon iTunes now!

Don't get too excited! This isn't a new show yet. It's a repost of the last episode. I initially posted the wrong track that was unedited and was missing trailers. Although I corrected it in the original feed, some of you did not receive the update.

Anyway, I've got five (count 'em, FIVE!) movies that just dying to talk to you about:

DARK TOUCH - a recommendation from world famous author ROBERT R. BEST. It's an Irish tale of an Irish lass who's got some really nasty supernatural powers.

DEAD BEFORE DAWN: A Canadian horror/comedy featuring CHRISTOPHER LLOYD versus a pack of angry zemons! (Not a typo...they're zemons...whatever.)

CONTRACTED: A sticky, gooey morality tale of sex and its consequences in this sticky, gooey new millenium.

TOAD ROAD: If Mister Toad took this Wild Ride, he'd be in rehab!

PRAYER BEADS: A horror anthology TV series out of Japan. Surprisingly, few hairy ghost girls, but lots of bizarro gore and comedy.

It's great to be back doing the show for you again, and Dolly will never go away again.

Hey beautiful people! Hiatus is officially over. We have TONS to catch up on, so this show is going to be about dishing the DIRT!

Dirt and REALNESS!

Dirt, realness and ANAL BLEACHING!!!

I'll be putting out a movie-themed show later in the week, but I just couldn't wait to talk to YOU!

We're classing things up this week with a spoiler-free recommend for the new Hitchcockian thriller, GRAND PIANO starring ELIJAH WOOD and JOHN CUSACK.

Plus, mini-reviews of HAUNTER, THE SEASONING HOUSE and CHEERLEADER MASSACRE 2.

OK, so it's not all classy, but what did you expect from me, seriously?

So THE SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE has a few sequels. While they didn't hold on to any of the original's feminist undertones.

Nor were they the GIGANTIC LEZ FEST like the original either.

But all three movie had one thing in common.

A Drill.

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

How to begin to breakdown SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE 2? Well, there's really not much to it.

It's just another slasher.

With a driller killer.

...Well, except in this one, his drill is also an electric guitar.

Oh, and there are musical numbers.

Cuz it's also a musical, see?

Oh, and COURTNEY's back from the original. You know, VALERIE's little sister?Except she's played by CRYSTAL BERNARD....from WINGS...? Yeah...

CRYSTAL BERNARD is such a friggin' sweet little goody-goody nice girl, she makes SHIRLEY TEMPLE look like the biggest slut in Hollywood history but WHATEVER!, she's Courtney now....

And did I mention the killer has a drill-tar!?!?

You know...that old story.

Tell you what. You just go pack your sexy lingerie, some corn dogs, a steamy novel, some Oxy-10 and your Tokyo Convertible whatever THAT is because this party is...well.

...weird.

Special Guests: ROBERT R. BEST and ALENA ACKER!

To kick off WOMEN IN HORROR MONTH, I’m doing the same thing I did last year. I’m having a slumber party with my best friends ROBERT and ALENA.

This year though we’re dishing the dish on SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE 2…perhaps one of the strangest sequels in horror history.

It’s a slasher. With a driller killer. Except his drill’s a guitar.

Oh, and there are musical numbers.

You know…that old story.

So, better pack your sexy lingerie, some corn dogs, a steamy novel, some Oxy-10, because this party is…well…

…weird.
