Horror Queers

Terminator 2: Judgment Day (Patron Clip)

Today, we celebrate our Independence Day...courtesy of gay German director Roland Emmerich. 
As the summer blockbuster celebrates its 30th anniversary, we're looking back on an alien disaster film that scared young Trace (thanks to that alien autopsy scene) and turned Will Smith into a star.
Plus: the death that upsets the most; bemoaning Vivica A. Fox's career; pondering what could have been with the casting; why Smith's bravado and the film's patriotism doesn't always work for Joe; and plenty of riffing on the atrocious sequel.

A spoiler-filled discussion with writer/director Adrian Chiarella on his 2026 queer horror romance film, Leviticus. 

Interview: Leviticus Writer/Director Adrian Chiarella

Grab your favorite surgical knife and call your mobile knife sharpener because we're discussing our very first William Castle film in his 1961 Psycho homage (or rip-off...you decide) Homicidal!
Join us as we discuss the origins of William Castle, aka "The Gimmick Guy", before diving into a film that has a fantastic first and last 15 minutes, but also a middle hour filled with obscene amounts of exposition. And don't forget about the Fright Break!
Plus: Alyssa Edwards chatter, humans drinking bowls of warm milk, all the praise for Jean Arless' (aka Joan Marshall's) dual performance, and a primer on Christine Jorgensen, the first person to become widely known in the United States for having gender reassignment surgery.
