Horror Queers

Step on the gas because we're are revisiting another #Carrie adaptation with Kimberly Peirce's 2013 film. Joining us for the discussion is @podcastlikeits.bsky.social co-host and SLEEPY HOLLOW creator @pmiscove.bsky.social, who didn't like the film 10+ years ago and still doesn't!

Tomorrow on the Main Feed: for Halloween, we're returning to Hull House and Angela in the absolutely exquisite NIGHT OF THE DEMONS 2

So. Fucking. Excited!

Beware the ball pit and close your heart because we're discussing Rob Savage's OTHER MOMMY (2026), based on Josh Malerman's 2024 novel. It’s a “stupid as f**k" set piece machine that’s also perfectly fine 🤷‍♂️

Does #verity have a #dakotajohnson problem? Or did director #michaelshowalter misunderstand the assignment? And who fell asleep in the editing bay?! @tracedthurman.bsky.social and @joelipsett.bsky.social discuss in our most recent Patreon episode

Our ever-present chorus of “it’s fine.” 🙃

Tomorrow on Patreon: prep your pretzel contortions because we are looking into the weird doppelgänger antics of OTHER MOMMY

@tracedthurman.bsky.social and @joelipsett.bsky.social discuss how Gabriella Wilde’s performance as Sue Snell is the weakest aspect of 2013’s #carrie

@joelipsett.bsky.social and @tracedthurman.bsky.social discuss how smart the Kate Siegel-directed third episode of Prime's CARRIE is for ditching the adults and focusing on the kids at the house party. Our full-length Patreon episode on the show is now available via the link in our bio

@tracedthurman.bsky.social and @joelipsett.bsky.social do their best to name ONE good thing about #carrie (2013). What did we come up with and do you agree?

Your weekend homework: keep your family close because Tuesday on Patreon, it’s OTHER MOMMY time

We covered this one earlier this year and not enough people listened! Pay attn to Travis!

Tomorrow on the Requel Tier: our week of #Carrie continues as the Mike Flanagan series (episode 3) goes to a house party in an episode nearly devoid of adults Subscribe via the link in our bio to listen

@tracedthurman.bsky.social and @joelipsett.bsky.social discuss how dull and lifeless Michael Showalter and Nick Antosca's adaptation of #verity is. Our full length Patreon episode on the film is out now.

Tomorrow on the Main Feed: grab your bucket of blood because we’re not done with #Carrie just yet. This time we’re checking on queer director Kimberly Peirce’s 2013 adaptation

Ok - this looks promising!

Put on your "resting bored face" and bite the headboard because we are talking Nick Antosca's adaptation of Colleen Hoover's #Verity (2026). Directed by Michael Showalter, we're not sure the creative team knew what kind of film they were making because this isn't fun, or campy, or lurid!

@tracedthurman.bsky.social and @joelipsett.bsky.social discuss how unusual it is that Ashley Judd has two (!!!) F Cinemascores on her filmography.

Tomorrow on Patreon: get typing because we're unpacking Michael Showalter and Nick Antosca's adaptation of Colleen Hoover's trashterpiece, VERITY Subscribe via the link in our bio

@horrorqueers.bsky.social Halloween watchlist Day 17: croc/gator Rogue (2007) Honestly a pretty solid killer croc movie. Some brutal kills and scarey moments. #HQHalloween

#NW 🎥 THE LOST BOYS (1987) for #HQHalloween Day 19: Scald @horrorqueers.bsky.social TRY HOLY WATER, DEATH BREATH!

Your weekend homework: read all of the smutty villain books because we are talking the snoozeworthy VERITY on Patreon on Tuesday

@tracedthurman.bsky.social and @joelipsett.bsky.social discuss how #bewareBoiúna is the first giant snake movie in awhile, even if it’s just “fine” Our patreon episode is now out. Subscribe via the link in our bio

Tomorrow on the Requel Tier: Our discussion of Flanagan's CARRIE series moves on to episode two as our knowledge of Chris and Margaret expands. Subscribe via the link in our bio

Tomorrow on the Main Feed: take your paranoia to the next level because we are concluding our six week journey through Ashley Judd's thriller filmography with the pièce de résistance: BUG C/W: self-harm

Be mindful of quicksand and stay out of the Amazon because we are discussing Mike P. Nelson's creature feature, Beware Boiúna (2026). It's the first theatrical snake film in <forever> so we're psyched, but this is just...fine? Perhaps it’s because this film borrows heavily from the OG ANACONDA?
