Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993) feat. Lindsay Traves
Our Angel of Death awaits as we enter the dark streets of Gotham City to discuss the first (and only?) Batman slasher film Batman: Mask of the Phantasm! Joining us for the discussion is Batman expert (and all-around swell gal) Lindsay Traves! We'll delve into the film's rushed production and failure at the box office.

Krampus (2015) feat. Bobby Torrez
We're kicking off the holiday season by hunkering down in a snow globe with YouTube star Bobby Torrez and a screening of Michael Dougherty's Krampus (2015). The film has an all-star cast (Toni Collette! Adam Scott! Allison Tolman! David Koechner!), but doesn't manage to nail its balance of tones like Trick 'r Treat did. Thankfully the film has a great score (suck it Joe!) and a fantastically unnerving jack in the box named Der Klown, who Trace cannot stop jizzing over. Plus: Krampus as an LGBT i

Joining us for the discussion is renowned professor and national speaker Doctor Jon Paul Higgins! As we walk along the parade route, we'll discuss the oft-used white savior trope (Seth Cohen's mom really wants to save these black teens!), family secrets involving mixed race genealogy and the always welcom

Cruising (1980) feat. Andrew Scahill
Hold onto your hips and lips because for our 100th episode, we're going Cruising! Along for the *ahem* ride, is film professor Andrew Scahill, who guides us through an academic deep dive of the 1980 William Friedkin film, which has been one of our most requested titles since we started Horror Queers! There's LOTS to talk about: the heavily protested production, the depiction of the gay community, the critique of the police, and the frank depiction of sex and community. Throw in the film's histor

The Ruins (2008) feat. Dax Ebaben
Can four Americans on vacation in Mexico just disappear? We're here to find out as we discuss previous guest Carter Smith's 2008 pandemic creature feature The Ruins! Joining us is Bloody Disgusting's own Dax Ebaben! Join us as we discuss the Stephen King-approved source material (aka one of the scariest novels of the 21st century) and how it translates to the screen in the Ben Stiller(!)-produced film that most critics compared unfavorably to Little Shop of Horrors (those critics are dumb).

Copycat (1995) feat. K Lynch
Here's our Salem Horror Fest episode on Jon Amiel's vastly underrated (and under-seen) 1995 film Copycat! Joining us for the discussion is the director of the festival themselves: K Lynch! Join us as we wax poetic over the incredible performances of Sigourney Weaver and Holly Hunter and the implied lesbianism between their characters, raise our eyebrows at Harry Connick Jr's "squirrel covers"-obsessed serial killer, and debate whether or not killing off the only explicitly gay character is homop

Trick 'r Treat (2007) feat. Marisa Mirabal
Keep those pumpkins lit and pass out the candy because this week on the pod we're discussing Mike Dougherty's 2007 (or is it 2009?) Trick 'r Treat. Joining us is fellow writer (and Trace's real life co-worker!) Marisa Mirabal, who agrees with Joe that this is the best horror anthology film, why she hates superhero films and why the film's score deserves more praise. Plus: which segments we prefer, Sam's ascent into the horror icon hall of fame (merchandising!) and the film's unfortunate connecti
