Paranormal Episodes

Another ScreamQueenz Classic episode has escaped from the Crypt, and oh, boy! This one is a doozy. Debuting as part of Episode 114 on August 8, 2014. THE SCORNED (2005) is notorious for three reasons- We're discussing perhaps the worst film ever covered on ScreamQueenz in our entire sixteen-year history. It's regarded as one of our most hilarious episodes. Most importantly, it was the first appearance of our most popular guest host couple, ALLISON NOWACKI and BRYAN POLK. THE S...

ATTACHMENT is an extraordinary film in which clashing Danish, British and Jewish Haredi cultures combine to tell a love story most queer: A story of Mothers and Daughters, of Daughters and Lovers, and of the Ancient Evil that wants to consume them all. To discuss this most unusual film I needed the most fabulous of guests, so I am delighted to be joined by ALYSSA SIMON (Moosehead Over the Mantel, They Will Outlive Us All) and CHRYSTEN PEDDIE (Killing Your Darlings).

Our WOMEN IN HORROR MONTH Celebration continues with a look at IRIS K. SHIM's film UMMA. In UMMA, a Korean-American woman living on an isolated farm with her teenage daughter has her world turned upside down when the ashes of her abusive mother are delivered for her to bury. The longer she resists giving her Umma her final respects, the angrier Umma's spirit becomes. At first glance, UMMA is a straightforward ghost/possession story that plays with the universal fear of becoming one's parents. ...

Three young Evangelical movie users find a strange unmarked roll of film in the theater's basement. Thinking it might be porn, they screen the movie and accidentally unleash a bloodthirsty succubus. But in order to survive, they must not only conquer the demon they released but also the demons they hide within themselves. Despite the provocative title, PORNO (2019) isn't really about explicit nudity, sex and exploitation. At its core, it's a surprisingly thoughtful morality play about faith and ...

Prepare your funny bone for some otherworldly ticklin', because for Episode 332, I unearthed a hidden gem of a haunted house comedy. In THE SELLING, a too-nice-for-his-own-good real estate agent is tricked into buying a house that was once owned by a long-dead serial killer. If that wasn't bad enough, the house is also EXTREMELY haunted. Can Richard defeat the ghosts, sell the house and save the day? (And is anybody gonna eat those leftover brownies???) To counteract the spectral scares, I'm ...

With Thanksgiving almost upon us, it seems a good time to remind you that the old saying is true: "There's no place like home for the holidays." UNLESS perhaps your "home' has become somehow supernaturally sentient, fallen dangerously in love with you, and will kill anyone who tries to take you away from it. Don't go there. It sounds dangerous. Plus, I'm already taking you to a house JUST LIKE THAT right now! By the way, don't you let me (or it) hear you calling it haunted. This house ain'...

COUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN: DAY 11 When your neighborhood is haunted by blood-slurping ghosts, who you gonna call? Definitely NOT Art the Clown! It's another super casual solo show, so while I'm mentally and physically preparing for the grueling second half of the pod-a-thon, I decided to kick back and relax with the new movie from DREAD DENTRAL that has everyone buzzing: TERRIFIER starring JENNA KANELL and CATHERINE CORCORAN.
