The FRIDAY THE 13TH Spectacular - 1980

The FRIDAY THE 13TH Spectacular - 1980

Author: Patrick K. Walsh January 13, 2023 Duration: 1:35:22

Thirteen years ago, I began the tradition of the FRIDAY THE 13th SPECTACULAR where I set out to discuss the FRIDAY THE 13th series in a way I hadn't heard before.

Now, I'm thirteen years older.

I'm thirteen years wiser.

It's time to go back to where it all started.

I'm going back to Camp Crystal Lake.

But this time...I'm not going alone.

I've enlisted the help of two fabulous out, gay horror filmmakers, BART MASTRONARDI ("Vindication", "Tales of Poe") and MICHAEL VARRATI ("Tales of Poe", "Dragula", MIDNIGHT MASS Podcast), and together we discuss the artistry, psychology & staying power of the original FRIDAY THE 13TH in a way you have never heard before.

FRIDAY THE 13TH was directed by SEAN S. CUNNINGHAM, written by VICTOR MILLER, and stars BETSY PALMER, ADRIENNE KING, KEVIN BACON, JEANNINE TAYLOR, HARRY CROSBY, ROBBI MORGAN, LAURIE BARTRAM, MARK NELSON, and PETER BROUWER. Special effects by TOM SAVINI.

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.
