Curtain up! Light the lights! 

 You got nothing to feel but the FRIGHTS!!![

On the surface, THE FAN from 1981 starring LAUREN BACALL and MICHAEL BIEHN was been ill-advised flop.

The story of an aging screen legend trying to make a comeback by appearing in her first Broadway musical didn't appeal to horror fans. The attempt to cash in the recent success of films like FRIDAY THE 13th by adding over-the-top violence scared off everyone else.

I still can't believe someone made a slasher movie with music by MARVIN HAMLISCH. However...

...I have been looking for ages for an opportunity to get the crew of MUSICALS TAUGHT ME EVERYTHING I KNOW on the show.

THE FAN provided that.

So, for bringing me the gift of ZANE C. WEBER and KRISTEN BARROS and making all my "horror/musical" dreams come true, Patrick K. Walsh raves:

"THE FAN is a smash hit! This year's MUST SEE!

I laughed. I screamed. IT WAS BETTER THAN CATS!"

Out of the ashes of the COUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN Pod-A-Thon fiasco, a fabulous new fundraising event arises!

Stacy and Cindy from CREEPY KITCH want to wish you the warmest of welcomes to Potter\'s Cove: an idyllic little coastal town that seems frozen in a kinder, gentler time.

It\'s a place you\'ll certainly want to visit...but pray to God you don\'t die there.

DEAD AND BURIED manages to mix the creeping suspense of the Twilight Zone with the gruesome gore effects of STAN WINSTON, and stars JAMES FARENTINO, MELODY ANDERSON, JACK ALBERTSON, LISA BLOUNT & ROBERT ENGLUND.

This episode is hopefully the last of the test episodes to ensure the fixes we put in place are actually working.

Enjoy a trip back to Season One of ScreamQueenz when Joan Crawford got axe-happy and hilarity ensued in William Castle's STRAIT-JACKET.

Day 4 of the Countdown To Halloween Pod-a-Thon finds me trapped in an ancient British manor house with a horde of creepy rich people; one of whom is murdering the other guests one by one via witchcraft!

We're talking about director Richard Marquand's elegantly wicked chiller, THE LEGACY, starring Katharine Ross, Sam Elliott and his chest pelt, Roger Daltry, creepy cats, creepy nurses, janky jewelry, choking chicken, luxury plaid muumuus, the song stylings of Kiki Dee and some spectacular black magic mayhem.

I'm joined by V.D. Clinic Podcast's co-host Vanessa McEnery and Gayly Dreadful's curator Terry Mesnard; both of whom were traumatized by the film.

Vanessa can never enjoy a pool party ever again now.

Terry will never eat pâté again.

And after I watched it as a child, this movie made me gay

THANK GOD for that, but don't say I didn't warn you...

What's Halloween without a classic ghost story?

You'll never have to know, because for this episode I'm revisiting one of my all-time favorite haunted house films: THE UNINVITED directed by LEWIS ALLEN and starring RAY MILLAND and RUTH HUSSEY as a bickering brother-sister duo who, on a whim, purchase that old abandoned mansion on the edge of that spooky cliff without ever dreaming the place is very, very haunted. And whatever evil force haunts those halls seems hellbent on destroying their shy but beautiful young neighbor, played by GAIL RUSSELL.

With their hands tied by the Hayes Decency Code, the filmmakers had to "queer code" even more of the story than I realized the last time I covered this movie, so it turns out there are more secret lesbian characters in that house than there are ghosts!

JOSH KREBS and LIZ RICHARDS from BLOODY DATE NIGHT are here to class up the show and help me sort through THE UNINVITED's many mysteries, both on and off-screen, as well as it's heartbreaking real-life tragedy.

So get ready for some early gay Hollywood history, a lot of inappropriate giggling and one hell of a scary ghost story!
