Author: Patrick K. Walsh May 7, 2021 Duration: 1:42:39

"This entire murder has been...catered!"

You are cordially invited to spend the weekend with the world's greatest detectives in a spooky old mansion!

Enjoy an invisible dinner, a fiendish murder, and the chance to win a million dollars if you can solve this devious crime!

Get ready to laugh your *** off, because our topic this time is NEIL SIMON's classic murder mystery spoof MURDER BY DEATH from 1976 featuring one of the brilliant comedy ensemble casts ever put on film.

My partner in crime is the divine Miss CHRYSTEN PEDDIE from KILLING YOUR DARLINGS @kydcast, and together we'll guide you through this treasure trove of side-splitting one-liners while also addressing its troublesome moments of racism, sexism and homophobia.

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.
