ScreamQueenz Resurrection - BLOODY NEW YEAR (1987) - "Everything seems so stupid..."

Author: Patrick K. Walsh January 2, 2026 Duration: 1:11:36

Travel back in time to January 21, 2015 as I release another vintage episode from the ScreamQueenz Vaults.

This time I'm unearthing a classic holiday-themed segment from Episode 129 on the 1987 British weirdfest BLOODY NEW YEAR.

A day of sailing turns into a never-ending nightmare for a group of shipwrecked teens who find themself trapped at a haunted island hotel that seems to be stuck in time at midnight on New Year's Eve, 1959.

The video box promised "The Shining Meets Evil Dead".

They lied.

I was a lot meaner in 2015 than I am now, so this episode is gonna get ugly.

My special guest is infamous filmmaker/podcaster BRYAN WOLFORD. Be sure to check him out on the MIDNIGHT DRIVE IN.

BLOODY NEW YEAR is currently streaming for free on YouTube.

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.
