"Get Ready for the Violence of the Lambs..."

It is a fact that there are more sheep in New Zealand.

This tidbit of truth makes the New Zealand-based horror-comedy BLACK SHEEP all the more delicious!

Thanks to brilliant gooey, over-the-top gore and monster effects, the seemingly stupid concept of "killer sheep" becomes genuinely terrifying. Add a dryly hilarious script to balance out the bloodshed, and you've got one humdinger of a Kiwi horror-comedy!

When ovinophobic Henry returns to his family's sheep farm for the first time in 15 years, little does he know that his brother Angus has been dabbling in some highly questionable genetic research on the flock. After a pair of bumbling animal rights activists break into Angus' secret lab, a mutant embryo escapes and infects the rest of the herd with a virus that turns them all from harmless herbivores into bloodthirsty murder machines.

My extra special thanks to SuperScreamer Patron CHRIIS SCHAFFER for flexing her Patreon Power, suggesting this movie, saving the episode, supporting the show, and being an overall awesome person.

BLACK SHEEP was written & directed by JONATHAN KING and stars OLIVER DRIVER, NATHAN MEISTER and TAMMY DAVIS.

The MURDER BY DEATH episode featuring CHRYSTEN PEDDIE from KILLING YOUR DARLINGS has been postponed in light of the Atlanta shooting due to the film's anti-Asian humor.

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.
