Can you handle a gay H.P. Lovecraft adaptation?

The Monster in the Closet wants to do nasty things…to your man!
Other than the campy gay subtext, you’d never guess that Monster in the Closet is a Troma film. It’s a light, fun spoof of 50s creature features, with a monster that looks like a Muppet version of the Rancor from … Continue reading

Gay horror films that snuff out the campy shtick
Okay. So I was given the opportunity to screen two films from the disturbingly underground looking Dead Guys Cinema website and the Serial Killers Underground website. And I was terrified…for all the wrong reasons. There’s something freakishly snuffy about these … Continue reading
Homoerotic horror king David DeCoteau goes PG…
It’s a David DeCoteau film that doesn’t feature a bunch of young men running around in their underwear and touching themselves! My Stepbrother is a Vampire!?! Is actually fun for the whole family! Seriously, it’s put out by Fun Family … Continue reading

A CGI slasher, an 80s throwback, and a horror comedy
Headless Horseman, The Revenant, and Bloody Homecoming. Which was my fave? HEADLESS HORSEMAN (2007) Headless Horseman takes the classic story…and makes it a backwoods slasher. A group of kids is headed for a party. There are some pumpkins in their … Continue reading

Direct-to-DVD: The slashers of Tommy Faircloth
Horror reality kind of bit in the 90s before Scream came along and rejuvenated the slasher genre. But a year before Scream, director Tommy Faircloth made an indie film that parodied the slashers of the 80s and spoke directly to … Continue reading
A gay horror thriller double feature and a double dose of scream queens!
The 2005 indie film October Moon and the 2008 sequel November Son have the distinction of being gay horror thrillers that star two iconic scream queens: Brinke Stevens and the one and only Judith “They’re coming to get you, Barbra!” … Continue reading
So do Redneck Zombies eat out their own siblings?
Redneck Zombies is an infamous cult classic from the late 80s. It’s deliciously low-budget direct-to-VHS crap! Surprisingly, it’s not as comically over-the-top as I’d expected, but it definitely has its campy moments and plenty of gross outs. The real draw is … Continue reading
