Happy Halloween, my Beautiful Screamerz!
To celebrate our favorite holiday, I'm tackling one of the most polarizing, controversial and underestimated films of the year: the Canadian experimental slasher film IN A VIOLENT NATURE. [Currently Streaming on Shudder]
Did you love it? Or did you hate it?
What happens when you strip a horror movie of all humanity?
Is it a fascinating examination of human psychology, horror voyeurism and audience ethics?
Or is it a boring slog with a few good kills and a whole lot of walking?
Joining me for this episode are my co-hosts from "Damn You Uncle Lewis", Trae Dean and Maya Murphy.
We'll explore how director Chris Nash toyed with the basic rules of filmmaking to craft a film designed deliberately to make viewers feel mentally detached and emotionally.
More importantly, we'll make you understand why he made the movie this way.
Whether you loved IN A VIOLENT NATURE or hated it, you'll see it in a brand new light after this episode of ScreamQueenz!
Excerpts of MICHAEL CAINE are from Michael Caine: On Acting In Film (1987) Directed by DAVID G. CROFT.
IN A VIOLENT NATURE was written and directed by CHRIS NASH and stars RY BARRETT, ANDREA PAVALOVIC, CAMERON LOVE, REESE PRESLEY, LIAM LEONE, CHARLOTTE CREAGHAN, LEA ROSE SEBASTIANIS, SAM ROULSTON, ALEXANDER OLIVER, TIMOTHY PAUL MCCARTHY, JT JACOBS and LAUREN MARIE TAYLOR

Climb aboard Polyester Airlines for a trip full of telephonic terror as we travel back in time to February 5, 1972: the night WHEN MICHAEL CALLS starring ELIZABETH ASHLEY, BEN GAZARRA and MICHAEL DOUGLAS premiered as the ABC Movie of the Week.
Elizabeth Ashley starts receiving vaguely threatening phone calls from her long-dead nephew. Naturally, she dismisses it as a prank until it becomes clear that when Michael calls...people die.
My copilot for this dangerous voyage is New York City's favorite undead horror host: the fabulous UNKLE SPOOKY.

For this ScreamQueenz Summer Bonus Episode, this Patreon-exclusive episode of IT CAME FROM THE 70's has been made public for your enjoyment.
Welcome aboard Polyester Time Traveling Airlines non-stop flight to October 10, 1973; the night DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK premiered as the ABC Movie of the Week.
This is one of the Big Ones!
A Classic!
If people remember ONE 1970's made-for-tv horror movie, it's usually this one!
An entire generation of TV-watching children was scarred for LIFE by this chilling tale of a lonely housewife terrorized by tiny whispering creatures dwelling in her fireplace.
To handle a journey this fraught with peril, I needed a copilot with nerves of steel.
But he was busy.
So I got TOPPIE SMELLIE from THE SMELLCAST.
Expect turbulence, unhappy endings and truly unfortunate wigs.
DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK is currently available to stream for free on Dailymotion.
Directed by John Newland. Written by Nigel McKeand. Starring Kim Darby, Jim Hutton, Barbara Anderson and William Demarest.

What starts as an idyllic trip to the Canadian wilderness for two women celebrating their first wedding anniversary turns into a brutal battle for survival where no one is who they seem to be in WHAT KEEPS YOU ALIVE.
Is this movie a new queer horror classic?
Or is it homophobic?
Helping me sort through the twisted web of deceit and violence are my two very special guests: fashion designer & cohost of Beauty, the Beast & the B's ANGI HOGABOOM and Actual Canadian TARA GARNER.
**It would behoove you to watch this movie as cold as possible, and DO NOT WATCH THE SPOILER RIDDEN TRAILER.**
Currently streaming on TUBI and SHUDDER.
Check out Tara's interview on CINEMA CRAZED.
WHAT KEEPS YOU ALIVE was written and directed by COLIN MINIHAN and stars BRITTANY ALLEN, HANNAH EMILY ANDERSON, MARTHA MACISAAC and JOEY KLEIN.

Once upon a time on a cold and lonely farm in the cold and lonely mountains lived a couple who were also cold and lonely and very very sad.
Then one day, they found a most unusual little girl named Ada.
They decided to raise Ada as their own.
It seemed all their prayers were answered!
But who...or what...is Ada?
Friend or fiend?
Angel or demon?
Miracle or monster?
The movie LAMB is many things.
Folktale. Fable. Parable. Warning.
But is it horror???
To get to the core of this most unusual film, I am delighted to be joined by OSO SCRUFFY and the Reverend BEN FITZGERALD-FYE.
LAMB was directed by Valdimar Jóhannsson and stars Noomi Rapace, Hilmir Snær Guðnason and Björn Hlynur Haraldsson.
At present, LAMB is available for streaming on AMAZON PRIME or wherever you buy or rent videos.

You know how I love a movie full of rich obnoxious jerks who are all secretly trying to murder each other so they can inherit a mountain of money?
THIS IS ONE OF THOSE MOVIES!
Except it's also SUPER GAY!
THE ESTATE is the wickedly hilarious brainchild of writer/star CHRIS BAKER and his IRL partner, director JAMES KAPNER.
It's the story of rich spoiled egotistical George and his rich spoiled gold-digging sex-hungry stepmom who seduce/hire a hot bisexual hitman to help them take down the cruel manipulative family patriarch, so they can inherit his massive estate.
The only thing is...murder is a lot like potato chips.
It's hard to stop at just one.
For a movie this twisted, I need a guest host who is even more twisted, and that could only be the fabulous TRAE DEAN.
My apologies to CHRIS BAKER whom my COVID Foggy brain insisted on calling "Chris Baxter" throughout the recording.
THE ESTATE is currently available on HULU or wherever you rent movies.
THE ESTATE stars CHRIS BAKER, ELIZA COUPE, GREG FINLEY, ERIC ROBERTS, HEATHER MATARAZZO, EZRA BUZZINGTON and ALEXANDRA BILLINGS.
