Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping some of my favorite queer horror movies into the ol’ VCR. 

I’ve touched on this before, but the horror genre and LGBTQIA+ community have always gone hand-in-hand. 

I’m going to make a bold statement, but I stand by it: 

You can’t love horror and not support the LGBTQIA+ community. 

So many of your favorite horror directors, actors, screenwriters, etc…are queer. 

So many of the storylines you’ve come to know and love have queer undertones. 

So many of your favorite horror shows have queer representation. 

In honor of Pride month, I’ve decided to highlight 20 of my favorite queer horror movies. 

I have SO MANY more, but I had to cut myself off because I just kept adding more and more movies to the list. 

If you’re looking for more recommendations, I highly recommend giving queer and/or LGBTQIA+ movies a Googs. 

Alrighty, that should do us for an introduction. 

Without further ado, here are 20 of my favorite LGBTQIA+/LGBTQIA+-coded horror movies: 

• May 
• Slay 
• Spiral 
• Super Hot 
• Black Swan 
• Knife + Heart
• All About Evil  
• Jennifer’s Body
• You’re Killing Me 
• I Saw the TV Glow
• Fear Street Trilogy
• Psycho Beach Party 
• Death Drop Gorgeous 
• It’s A Wonderful Knife
• Daughters of Darkness 
• The Last Thing Mary Saw
• Rocky Horror Picture Show
• The Gay Bed and Breakfast of Terror 
• Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge 
• Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker (aka Night Warning)

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping Till Nowak’s The Centrifuge Brain Project into the ol’ VCR. 

Now, I’ll admit that I was late to The Centrifuge Brain Project. In fact, I hadn’t heard of it at all until it came up in a YouTube video that I naturally can’t find now. 

Released all the way back in 2011, The Centrifuge Brain Project was ahead of its time. And, I think its influence on horror ARGs like Liminal Land is clear. 

Video source: Kurzfilm Agentur Hamburg

Presented as a documentary, Dr. Nick Laslowicz (Leslie Barany) walks us through a series of experiments camouflaged as amusement park rides. These physics-bending rides were designed to essentially test stamina and potentially expand the human mind. 

Dr. Laslowicz’s company, the Institute for Centrifugal Research, began building and creating rides in the late 70s, and they’re truly WILD. 

I rest my case 

I love this short for a few reasons. 

First and foremost, it seems like it was plucked right from PBS. They play everything so straight. Additionally, all of the visual components could be placed in content today, and we wouldn’t bat an eye, which is highly impressive, considering this short is almost 13-years-old. 

Secondly, I learned in my research that Leslie Barany apparently ad-libbed a lot of his lines and put his own direction and spin on scripted lines. As someone who’s a stickler for dialogue, I can’t rave enough about how natural everything sounds. 

Finally, in my opinion, I believe The Centrifuge Brain Project has served as the inspiration for many a horror ARG/analog horror series. I can think of so many projects that utilize the same tone and interview style.

I might’ve been late to the game on The Centrifuge Brain Project, but I’m so glad I found my way here. 

It’s so innovative, and knowing everything I know about horror ARGs and analog horror series just makes it all the more impressive. 

If you’re a fan of Liminal Land or the analog horror series we cover here on B Movies, definitely give this one a shot. 

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping some of my favorite LGBTQIA+ movies into the ol’ VCR. 

I’ve said this before, but Pride is seriously one of my favorite times of the year. 

There was a time in my life, even after I’d come out, where I wouldn’t have been as vocal about my sexuality as I am now. 

That may be hard to believe, but it’s true. 

I was worried about what people I liked would think because I sometimes date cis, straight men. 

I was scared that I wasn’t straight enough or queer enough. 

But, over the years, I’ve learned to be loud and proud about who I am. 

I don’t try to hide my sexuality nor do I apologize for it. 

However, I know this isn’t a possibility for everyone. I know some people can’t come out or are afraid to come out. 

I want you to know that you don’t have to come out before you’re ready. You’re still part of the community, no matter what. 

If you can’t come out right now, I’m so sorry. I wish that you can one day find a safe space with an accepting community where you feel comfortable. 

Additionally, if you’re an ally, and someone comes out to you, DO NOT out that person to other people. Just support them and thank them for confiding in you. 

I digress. 

I’ve chosen 10 of my favorite LGBTQIA+ movies, and, boy howdy, was it hard to leave it at 10. 

I kept picking and prodding this list, but I finally had to let it go. 

Just know that I have sooooo many more than this. 

Alrighty, that should do us for introductions. 

Here are 10 of my favorite LGBTQIA+ movies: 

• Crush
• Bottoms
• Fire Island
• Challengers 
• The Half Of It
• All Of Us Strangers 
• Call Me By Your Name
• But I’m A Cheerleader 
• Portrait of a Lady on Fire 
• Hedwig and the Angry Itch 

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping some of my favorite music videos into the ol’ VCR. 

I honestly LOVE doing these favorite lists. 

Not only are they a way for me to share some of my favorite things with all of you, but it’s also a way for me to revisit some of my favorite things that I haven’t watched in a while. 

When I was growing up, I loved watching music videos. 

Hell, there are times to this day that my friends and I will still watch music videos. 

Being ever the cinephile, I see music videos as short films, and I just think there’s something really special about them. 

I digress. 

You’re going to notice two things about this list: 

1. It’s very clear I grew up in the aughts. 
2. It’s very clear I love horror. 

I feel like this is all common knowledge at this point, but just in case it isn’t, there you go. 

Alrighty, that should do us for an introduction. 

Without further ado, it’s time to rock out with your blog out and enjoy 10 of my favorite music videos of all time:

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the work of John Waters into the ol’ VCR. 

Happy Pride month, everyone! 

This month, you can expect several spotlights on LGBTQIA+ filmmakers and actors, as well as several pieces focused on LGBTQIA+ content. 

Pride is a very important month for us, and it’s honestly one of my favorite times of the year. 

I’ve been out for 11 years, and I was extremely fortunate to be accepted by my friends and KP. 

Elliott, who clearly remembers vehemently denying her own sexuality to one of her best friends in high school after her other friend innocently ‘outed’ her, now holds Pride near and dear to her heart. As a child growing up in a household that (fortunately) very much welcomed the LGBTQIA+ community, she accepted her own feelings early on, but was also afraid of things changing, somehow, if she let those feelings be known. She was afraid of being ‘titled.’ She hid crushes, kisses, hand holding, and dates from her family, and most of her friends. However, along the way, the IDGAF kicked in, and the Pride began to radiate. She still abhors being ‘titled,’ but freely tells her stories to those that listen, and will not hesitate to declare to her husband that a woman that she finds attractive could “get it.” 

We digress. 

John Waters is one of the greats. 

His impact on not only film but the queer community is incredible. 

John Waters has given us some of the most punk rock, disgusting, and groundbreaking films of all time. 

He also thrust queer icons like Divine and his cast of Dreamlanders into the spotlight as they brought all of his absurd visions to life. 

Now, I’ll admit the end of Pink Flamingos does make me queasy. 

But, Divine screaming that filth is her politics gives me life. 

I’m not the biggest fan of Cry-Baby, but I’m so glad it exists. 

My point is, John Waters has created so many iconic films that are gritty and groundbreaking and established a specific genre that influenced a lot of media we see today. 

As always, there’s not a lot more I can say that hasn’t already been said. 

John, if you ever see this, thank you so much for everything you’ve done and created. 

Without further ado, here are some of my favorite pieces of John Waters content: 

• Hairspray 
• Serial Mom
• Search Party 
• Seed of Chucky 
• Pink Flamingos  
• Female Trouble
• Cecil B. Demented 

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping kid spy movies into the ol’ VCR. 

Something we were collectively obsessed with in my youth was the idea of children being spies. 

I’ve had anxiety since I was a child, so there’s no way I would be able to pull off espionage. 

That’s why I more so related to Harriet the Spy because I was nosy and wrote down every single thing I could. 

Shego had NO RIGHT to serve that hard

However, I think a lot of kids my age probably wanted to have spies for parents, or Hilary Duffs they needed to rescue. 

This led to a whole little subgenre of kid and teenage spy movies. 

And let me tell you, they aren’t all created equal. 

But, we respect them all the same. 

We used a proper nation that let spy children drive convertibles 

Also, just as a sidebar, I want to be friends with Glen Powell (who was in Spy Kids 3: Game Over, so this is kind of relevant), so if anyone can make that happen, it would be much appreciated. 

Alrighty, I think that does us for an introduction. 

(But know I’m serious about being friends with Glen Powell.) 

Without further ado, here’s some kid and teen spy content that’ll make you want to buy some walkie talkies and a black catsuit: 

• D.E.B.S.
• Spy Kids 
• Totally Spies!
• Kim Possible 
• Harriet the Spy
• Catch That Kid 
• Agent Cody Banks 

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping The Baby-Sitters Club into the ol’ VCR. 

Along with Sweet Valley High, The Baby-Sitters Club was another big part of my childhood. I loved the series and the movie, and I can’t tell you how many of the books I read. 

I LOVED the reboot series they created as well, and I definitely believe it was prematurely canceled, as does its creator, Rachel Shukert. 

If you aren’t familiar with The Baby-Sitters Club, it follows, well, The Baby-Sitters Club (BSC) as the girls navigate divorced parents, diabetes, and other difficulties of growing up. Additionally, they serve as the go-to babysitters for parents around the area. Each book focuses on a different member of the group, and its core founding members include: 

• Kristy Thomas 
• Mary Anne Spier
• Claudia Kishi 
• Stacey McGill 

However, as with all good series, the group soon expands to include a rotating cast of characters like: 

• Dawn Schafer 
• Mallory Pike 
• Jessi Ramsey 
• Logan Bruno 
• Shannon Kilbourne 
• Abby Stevenson 

My personal favorite is, and will always be, Claudia. As a fellow creative (barf), I feel a kinship with her. Also, Claudia always had the COOLEST clothes. 

I digress. 

The BSC (yeah, you know me) can be best broken down into four categories: The Books, The Original Series, The Movie, and The Reboot. 

The Books 

The BSC was written by Ann M. Martin, with the first book being released in 1986. The amount of novels written by Ann M. Martin herself seems to be a little conflicting, but it looks like the first 35 were all her. She may have also written up to 60-80 between 1986 and 2000. Then, much like a lot of our favorite beloved series, ghost writers were brought in to keep the series going.

Ann M. Martin seems to keep her personal life private, but it does appear that she’s queer, and I think that’s something really awesome to highlight. 

The Original Series

The original BSC series only lasted for one season, and I’m honestly SHOOK. My childhood brain remembers a million episodes, not a measly 13. But, I think that speaks to the impact this series had on me as a kid. 

Now, I wasn’t around when The BSC originally aired back in 1990, but you best believe I watched reruns whenever they were on. The original series even managed to end with, you guessed it, a very special episode where they reflect on their friendship. Yes, I’m serious. 

Currently, the original series isn’t available to stream, but I have good news! All of the episodes are available on YouTube, and the quality is actually top-notch.

The Movie 

Now, let’s move into one of the most iconic pieces of The BSC’s lore, the 1995 movie. I can’t tell you what I’d give to have my original clamshell copy. Moving on. 

The movie most notably stars Rachel Leigh Cook as Mary Anne, Larisa Olyenik as Dawn, and features Marla Sokoloff as Cokie because it was the mid-90s, so we had to throw these three in the mix. They even bagged Ellen Burstyn, which is wild. 

The movie definitely takes some creative liberties, but I love it because it fits perfectly in the coming-of-age 90s subgenre we’ve all come to know and appreciate. Additionally, the core characters are all represented, so I’ll take it. The BSC movie is available to watch on Starz, and I recommend checking it out if you need a good dose of nostalgia. 

HOWEVER, there’s a problematic storyline where one of the girls likes/kind of dates a 17-year-old until he finds out her real age, so proceed with caution.

The Reboot 

I was so stoked when a reboot of The BSC was announced. Y’all have no idea. And, honestly, I think this series is wonderful. It does an excellent job of introducing kids/a younger audience to hard topics like divorce and death. It also does a really good job of introducing LGBTQIA+ characters. These episodes are a great jumping off point for dialogues, IMO. I also cried multiple times throughout the series, but that’s neither here nor there. 

I was SO BUMMED to learn that Netflix had pulled the plug, but I am grateful for the seasons we have. I’d definitely recommend binging this series if you haven’t already. Just start preparing yourself for “Claudia and the Sad Goodbye” NOW.

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping Renny Harlin’s The Strangers: Chapter 1 into the ol’ VCR. 

Okay, before I say anything AT ALL, this review calls for my famous disclaimer: 

The great thing about movies is that we can discuss and debate them. Just because I think a movie is great doesn’t make it a good movie, and just because I think a movie is awful doesn’t make it a bad movie. Also, making a movie is extremely difficult and incredibly badass, and I don’t want to detract from the process. 

Alrighty, let’s get to it. 

I’d heard that The Strangers: Chapter 1 was bad. 

In fact, my server warned me before the movie even started that it was going to be the low point of my triple feature. 

But, nothing could’ve prepared me for how bad this movie truly is. 

First and foremost, there’s no chemistry between our leads. I love Madelaine Petsch, and I know that she’s a good actor. However, I think the only criteria for placing these two together is the fact they’re both hot. 

With horror, you don’t always have to create an undeniable romantic dynamic, but in a movie like this, we need to care about these characters. 

And, I just…didn’t. 

This looks like a renaissance painting of two hot people getting ready to call their agents after this scene wraps 

Secondly, no trope is left unturned. 

From slamming hands onto nails to speaking at full volume when trying to get away, The Strangers: Chapter 1 tackles them all. 

There’s also one scene where Ryan (Froy Gutierrez) crafts a makeshift inhaler out of a water bottle. The problem is, he crinkles the water bottle like it’s his FUCKING JOB while he’s trying to hide. 

I wanted to look at him and go, “Gee, was a bag of Sunchips not available?” 

For my third and final point, I’ll have to spoil things. As we all know, I usually try to avoid spoilers as much as possible. But, to properly review this one, I’m gonna have to spoil things just a bit. 

If you want this flick to remain spoiler free, skip down to the paragraph that starts with “I was genuinely excited…”. 

Ready? Okay. 

“Please don’t make me be in the rest of this trilogy” 

Hello! Future Baillee here. So, there’s some weird discourse on the internet right now where IMDb is saying this movie isn’t a prequel, but just about everywhere else says this is a prequel and/or takes place in 2008 like the original. I’m sticking with the fact this is a prequel, but the other two movies in the trilogy may prove me wrong. I also could’ve sworn that Liv Tyler made a cameo, but I guess that wasn’t her on the video call? Either way, I think this just shows that this movie wasn’t fully planned out. Carry on.

So, I called from the trailer that this was a prequel. The outdated soundtrack tipped me off from a mile away. 

Now, Final Destination 5 did a similar thing where they made a prequel without clueing us in beforehand. HOWEVER, the big difference between it and The Strangers: Chapter 1 is that Final Destination 5 didn’t spoon feed us. 

For example, there’s a quick look at a gift certificate that expires in 2001. All of the music is from the late 90s. The license plates are all outdated. You get the picture. 

Instead of giving us subtle hints, The Strangers: Chapter 1 slaps us in the face over and over like Joan Crawford on a bad day (or a good day, or…just ever) that this is a prequel. 

We see that all of the cell phones are older. We understand the soundtrack is older (but still years ahead of 2008?). We get it. 

You don’t need to underestimate us as an audience, especially when the timeline doesn’t quite make sense. 

I really want to give The Strangers: Chapter 1 the benefit of the doubt. There’s a lot to establish within the first movie of a trilogy, but Fear Street was also a trilogy. Additionally, the Fear Street trilogy established an entirely new franchise; it wasn’t created using an existing IP. 

Also, as we already established, Final Destination 5 does a really good job of throwing out a surprise prequel without basically winking at the camera and saying, “Get it?”. The Strangers: Chapter 1 doesn’t leave us breadcrumbs; it throws entire slices at us.

The real pants are the terrible horror movies we made along the way 

I was genuinely excited for this one because I a) love the concept of a staggered release and b) I love The Strangers and The Strangers: Prey at Night. Unfortunately, The Strangers: Chapter 1 just isn’t up to snuff. 

I’m a completionist, so I’ll probably see the other two movies, but I can’t guarantee we’ll cover them here. 

You could even say we’ve closed the door on The Strangers trilogy for now. 

Hopefully, no one else comes knocking.

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping some nostalgic electronics into the ol’ VCR. 

Well, friends, it’s time to round out our impromptu nostalgia series…for now. 

We’ve covered commercials, cartoons, and YouTube. Now, it’s time to wrap this bad boy up with electronics. 

It’ll come as no surprise that I still have several of these items in my house. It’ll also come as no surprise that I have several of these items saved in my Amazon cart and bookmarks. 

I digress. 

I do want to give KP and my sister a huge thank you. 

We didn’t have a lot of money when I was growing up, so KP worked like crazy to make sure I could have a lot of these things. 

Additionally, when KP had to take disability, my sister helped to make sure I was able to receive gifts like this, and tag-teamed things with my mom. 

My sister also gave me her hand-me-downs that were in pristine condition without ever being asked. 

I’m very fortunate that I was able to have these things, and I absolutely recognize my privilege. 

Alrighty, that should do us for introductions and disclaimers.

Without further ado, here are 10 nostalgic electronics, after the beep:

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping some cult-classic cartoons into the ol’ VCR. 

We’re honestly living for nostalgia over here at the B Movies Blog. 

So far, we’ve covered commercials and YouTube videos. 

And now, we’re back at it again with cartoons. 

It’s no secret that I love cartoons and animated series. We’ve covered things like The Ketchup Vampires in the past, as well as the cartoons that made me. 

But, we have yet to tackle some cult-classic cartoons that sometimes feel like a fever dream. 

I’ll tell you that this one was hard because there were some GOOD ones to choose from, and there were a few good ones like KaBlam! and Angela Anaconda that got left on the cutting room floor. 

That doesn’t mean I don’t love them; it just means I didn’t want to give you a 27-page piece to read. 

We’ll save that for Bo Burnham, thank you. 

That should do us for disclaimers and justifications for today. 

Without further ado, here are 10 cult-classic cartoons that’ll leave you jonesin’ for a Fruitopia and some Yogos:
