"I'd understand it a lot more if there were a lot more queer bashing and bible-thumping..."

On the surface, the movie Blumhouse's THEY/THEM had everything going for it:

  • A slasher film with a novel queer conversion camp setting.
  • Three-time Oscar-nominated screenwriter John Logan at the helm.
  • Kevin Bacon's return to his horror roots.
  • Queer characters actually played by queer actors.

With a built-in audience, undeniable talent, and seemingly the best intentions, THEY/THEM seem poised to take Queer Horror Cinema to the next level while exposing the real-life horrors of conversion therapy.

Instead, it failed on almost every level.

Join my special guests TARA GARNER and REVERAND BEN FITZGERALD-FYE as we take a good long look at what went wrong at Camp Whistler

THEY/THEM is currently available on Peacock.

Written & directed by JOHN LOGAN. Starring KEVIN BACON, ANNA CHLUMSKY, THEO GERMAINE, MONIQUE KIM, QUEI TANN and DARWIN DEL FABRO

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.
