Show Notes

An old flame returns! This week, Peaches and Michael are clawing their way to the crown in celebration of 1987’s HELLO MARY LOU: PROM NIGHT II! In addition to discussing the titular Mary Lou’s legacy as one of horror’s few enduring female villains, our hosts also delve into her place as a representative of queer id. Joining the conversation are celebrated spooky drag icons The Boulet Brothers, who share their admiration for the film’s aspirational villainy. Then, acclaimed SCREAM, QUEEN! MY NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET co-director Roman Chimienti stops by to dig into the goth punk power of Hamilton High. From confessional booths to carousel horse hooves, this episode has it all! Go!
