1BR (2020) and THE SIREN (2019)

Author: Patrick K. Walsh September 21, 2020 Duration: 53:51

In celebration of the 11th Season of SCREAMQUEENZ: The Podcast where Horror Gets Gay, everything old is new again...

I'm resurrecting THE CRAPSHOOT; the segment of the show where I dive headfirst into that vast sea of Direct-To-Video horror movie releases in search of that elusive Diamond in the ****Pile!

And to add to the craziness, I'm making it a DOUBLE CRAPSHOOT!

First up is 1BR (2020) written & directed by DAVID MARMOUR:

Sarah (NICOLE BRYDON BROOM) is a young woman who moves to Los Angeles and a manages to find a sweet new apartment and a whole heap of deadly trouble

1BR was recommended by TRAE DEAN, and if THE CRAPSHOOT is back....so is THE FIRING SQUAD! (Good luck, Trae....Nice knowing you!)

Next up is THE SIREN (2019):

In this dark fairy tale, three lost souls have an encounter on the banks of an idyllic lake: an innocent mute, a man consumed with loss, and a monster doomed to drown everyone she meets.

THE SIREN was directed by PERRY BLACKSHEER ("They Look Like People") and stars MARGARET YING DRAKE, MACLOUD ANDREWS and EVAN DUMACHEL.

Dive into the archives with ScreamQueenz Classics, curated by Patrick K. Walsh. This podcast serves as the central hub for a fascinating collection of shows, all exploring horror through a distinctly queer lens. Think of it as your weekly appointment with the strange and the spooky from decades past. You'll find yourself immersed in retrospectives like DAMN YOU UNCLE LEWIS, which meticulously unpacks the cult TV series *Friday the 13th: The Series*. Another show in the rotation, IT CAME FROM THE 70s, resurrects the unique charm and terror of made-for-television horror movies from the disco decade. For long-time fans and newcomers alike, SCREAMQUEENZ RESURRECTION offers a treasure trove of vintage conversations from the network's first groundbreaking decade. This ever-growing library, known as the ScreamQueenz Podiverse, is proudly noted as the first of its kind. New installments from these various series drop every Friday, rotating to keep the content fresh. With plans to expand the roster with more shows in 2026, this podcast is a living, breathing archive for anyone passionate about the intersections of television, film history, and queer perspectives on classic horror. It's less about simple reviews and more about deep, affectionate excavation.
