The Apocalyptic Awesomeness of Dead Weight

Published June 9, 2012 by biggayhorrorfan


In the last five years, Big Gay Horror Fan has undergone changes. Let me see. Oh, yeah. My hair has gotten thinner and my waistline has fluctuated – often for the worse.

Meanwhile, multi-talented director/writer John Pata has grown immeasurably as a creative artist since his charmingly fun 2007 debut Better Off Undead. This observation is proven as fact as Pata, along with co-writer/co-director Adam Bartlett, has given the world a hauntingly poetic look at an obliterated world with this year’s devastatingly good Dead Weight.

After the majority of the world is seemingly wiped out by a mysterious virus, a handful of bedraggled travelers wander the barren landscape trying to find other survivors, while actively avoiding the often violent infected. Focusing on Charlie, a charming slacker, determined to find his girlfriend at a specified destination point, Dead Weight does not dwell on outside monsters. Rather, it concentrates on how adverse conditions can make monsters out of humankind as Charlie (and others he meets along the way) begins to consider actions that not only question his sanity but his decency.

Brilliantly edited and photographed, Dead Weight is solidly led by (first time actor) Joe Belknap as Charlie while Mary Lindberg, as his ambitious love Samantha, brings vivacious charm to her role. It is the supporting actors, like Michelle Courvais and Aaron Christensen, who truly bring out all the subtle nuances in their characterizations, though, ultimately making Dead Weight an emotionally revelatory experience. Courvais, who played a sassy double dealing cop in acclaimed low budget horror The Landlord, particularly brings weight and humorous understanding to her emotionally scarred survivor, proving she is a performer of uncommon depth.

There are some minor flaws. Occasional sequences of dialogue flow awkwardly out of the actors’ mouths and, as in most quickly shot independent features, it is obvious when friends and innocent set visitors have been recruited to play roles. But on the whole, Dead Weight is an inspiring, amazingly complex film, deserving of multiple accolades.


On a side note, Dead Weight was given an emotional screening at Evil Squirrel Comics in Rogers Park in Chicago on June 8th, 2012 (above). Evil Squirrel, owned by openly gay horror lover Sparky Bobby King, has gone the unfortunate shakily financial way of many awesomely creative independent businesses, by having to close the doors of its (physical) shop. Fortunately, Bobby and Evil Squirrel will still be around offering online and delivery service and as an extremely cool presence at various conventions.

Girl Hero: Killer Party’s Joanna Johnson

Published June 4, 2012 by biggayhorrorfan


Being possessed and coming out. Well, Big Gay Horror Fan can relate to one of those experiences, but lucky girl hero Joanna Johnson has had encounters with both and has emerged eternally shining.

Before soap stardom, as The Bold and the Beautiful’s innocent Caroline and her unknowing twin Karen, Johnson essayed bright and wholesome final girl Jennifer in 1986 cult slasher Killer Party. Well, final girl with a twist, as sweet Jennifer ends up possessed and wrecking savage mayhem in Killer Party’s juicy final act.

After her initial run(s) on The Bold and the Beautiful ended, the industriously talented Johnson went behind the cameras to produce films like Very Bad Things and to create the popular television show Hope and Faith.

Now, back before the cameras as Karen in The Bold and The Beautiful’s very first same sex storyline, Johnson has confirmed her own lesbianism (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/14/joanna-johnson-lesbian-bold-and-the-beautiful_n_1515489.html ), publically, making the blood of Killer Party fans around the world flow with glorious excitement!


May you and yours live a life of many happy (un-possessing) soirees, grand Ms. Johnson!

Bloody Brilliant House of Boys

Published June 3, 2012 by biggayhorrorfan


Sometimes Big Gay Horror Fan wakes up in the middle of the night imagining the tails of spritely fairies are brushing his face. Nope, just those bed bugs, again!

Meanwhile, talented writer-director Jean-Claude Schlim (whose previous work includes producing credits for 2000’s Shadow of the Vampire and 2008’s Vampire Party) actually creates a tragic fairy tale, taking place in 1984 Amsterdam, with his evocative House of Boys.


Chronicling the adventures of teenaged Frank (an engaging Layke Anderson), who finds himself under the care of the appropriately named Madame (sensitively imbibed by cult legend Udo Kier)at the titular palace of flesh filled fantasy, Boys explores the glorious facets of found freedom and self expression shadowed by the ravaging specter of the HIV epidemic.

With introductions to Frank’s family, friends and co-workers resulting in multiple subplots (and a running time of 117 minutes), House of Boys is a bit unwieldy at times, but never less than enjoyable. Schlim is particularly adept at creating a glow of feisty romanticism while simultaneously portraying the horror of the first years of the AIDS crisis. His attention to detail is often brutal during the final weeks of a beloved character’s life and whether because of budget constraints or the cyclical fates of humanity, House of Boys ultimately feels just as contemporary as it does old fashioned.

Because of its inherent creativity, the world of film has lost many its brilliant participants to AIDS. Here is a partial listing of the eclectic genre actors who have died, but whose memories will live on in their glorious, eccentric filmographies.

Antony Hamilton – Howling IV: The Original Nightmare, Nocturna
Anthony Holland – The Sentinel, The Hitchhiker (television), The Lonely Lady

Girl Hero: Crawlspace’s Tane McClure

Published May 28, 2012 by biggayhorrorfan


Oh, the things that Big Gay Horror Fan regrets from his youth: Giving my sister that half naked, personally autographed poster of soap stud Christian LeBlanc; never having owned a bunch of those sexy 80’s hair bands…

Of course, I never could have worked them like eclectic genre goddess Tane McClure does on the cover of her only solo LP (recorded under the last name moniker of her then husband, Journey’s Jonathan Cain). Fashioned after the vocal styling of her idol, Grace Slick, this power pop offering features such thriller cuts as “Vertigo”, “Danger Zone” and “Crazy Eyes”.


That latter title surely applies to the wild visual posturing of McClure’s co-star in 1986’s bizarre, frequently misogynistic offering Crawlspace, Klaus Kinski. This is one of those sleazy 80’s offerings you love because it gives you that dirty, unsettled feeling afterwards and McClure excels, here, as the frightened mute cage captive of Kinski.

McClure switched gears as the industriously plucky girlfriend of Dennis Cole in the addictively silly Zombie Death House, directed by none other than John Saxon, in 1987 and found herself in another strange horror offering in 1990, Death Spa. A vaguely hard-to-find cult classic, Death Spa involves a male antagonist being possessed by his revenge filled dead sister in a goofy transgendered horror take on the mega-flop Perfect.


Spending the majority of the 1990’s portraying hot libeled ladies and duplicitous strippers in T and A thrillers, McClure skirted into the new century with a bang by playing an exasperated dancer in 1999’s Go and Reese Witherspoon’s Playboy hot momma in 2001’s Legally Blonde and it’s 2003 sequel.

Currently hitting the internet in hostess mode, McClure (the daughter of actor, Doug McClure – The House Where Evil Dwells ) continues to reinvent herself, proving that as in her 1982 song, she keeps ‘holdin’ on, holdin’ on’ while others have long since faded.

I’m Counting to Three!: On Killer Double Feature, Centuries and Sleuths, Kill Cecile (and so much more)!

Published May 25, 2012 by biggayhorrorfan

Big Gay Horror Fan has always had a hard time making up his mind. For years it was because a caravan of bald nuns in blue leather thigh highs controlled his every thought, but recently it has been because there is just so much cool stuff to see and do that he doesn’t know where to start.

Witness:


On May 31st, writer and director John Borowski is raising funds for his latest true life horror documentary by showing his acclaimed double feature, H.H. Holmes: America’s First Serial Killer and Albert Fish: In Sin He Found Salvation. The event begins at 7:30 at the historic Portage Theater in Chicago. More information can be excavated by visiting http://www.facebook.com/#!/events/135559819911254/ or www.johnborowski.com.


For all those strolling through the maimed bodies that litter the streets of Forest Park IL – make sure to stop in at the bloody elegant Centuries and Sleuths Bookstore on 7419 W. Madison Street. Yes, the store features detective fiction and murder mysteries galore, but there is also a great gothic young adult section, a zombie coloring book available and some steam punk offerings, as well. Staff member Lynda Fitzgerald is knowledgably friendly, too! And for those with a great fear of the Midwest, but a strong desire for that graphic novelization of the Clue board game (is there such a thing?) – Centuries and Sleuths can always be found online at www.centuriesandsleuths.com, as well.


Then, once you’ve purchased your books on cannibalistic jailbait murderers you may just be ready for Random Films’ outrageous Kill Cecile Volume One. Featuring the fabulous Rodney Horn echoing Lynda Day George’s Pieces‘ freak-out, the adorable Bo Adkins as Corey, a psychotic killer and a disgustingly hilarious sequence that brings new meaning to caring for your pets, writer-director Brian Dorton definitely delivers the wig stained goods here.

Check it at:

Two lesbians discover that there is more to the nighttime than some late loving in Luther Blogal-Jones creepy Creak (www.vimeo.com/fasterproductions). Who hasn’t thought someone was standing in the tiny hallway of their studio apartment at one time or another? (Besides BGHF, that is, who actually PAID for his stalker!) You can keep up with Blogal-Jones at http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Sincerely-Psychopath/343362982343983 and www.fasterproductions.blogspot.com.


Meanwhile, eternal BGHF fave Lori Cardille is appearing in Scott Goldberg’s powerful short The Three. The Three is available, online, for free until September 1st at http://www.TheThreeFilm.com/. Featuring powerful images and passionate performances from the always gorgeous Cardille and John Amplas, The Three is definitely worth a look.

After all that, I am totally worn out – so, until next time –

Entering the Exquisite Madness of the Eclectic Georgia Brown!

Published May 22, 2012 by biggayhorrorfan


In his never ending quest to accomplish what others, perhaps too fondly, call making a living, Big Gay Horror Fan has waited tables, conducted extensively annoying movie surveys in zoo atriums and walked leash straining Dobermans through streets full of dining homosexuals. I’ve assisted presidents (but unlike Lady Bird Johnson have never slept with one) and have helped the belligerent five star traveler with exclusive arrangements – so, naturally, I prefer a horror film goddess with a varied pedigree.

Thus, I am pickled as a pink cucumber to discover the venerable, always exciting Georgia Brown (1933-1992). Born Lillian Klot, she escaped the blitzes of London as a child and, discovering a love for jazz and blues at a young age, choose the protagonist of the popular romp “Sweet Georgia Brown” as her professional name.

In all probability best known for her stage roles, which included a stint succeeding Lotte Lenya in the New York production of Three Penny Opera and the originating the role of Nancy (performing with a pre-Monkee’s Davy Jones on the Ed Sullivan show) in the popular musical Oliver!, she was also the force behind the powerful, feministic BBC series Shoulder to Shoulder.

In the gossipy corridors of gore, though, Brown excelled as the growly voiced bar singer in 1965’s Sherlock Holmes/Jack the Ripper hybrid A Study in Terror, a frustrated society mother in 1972’s juicily ridiculous anthology film Tales That Witness Madness and as the Widow Chastity in 1987’s sublimely silly witch hunt comedy Love at Stake.

It is her Fay Patterson in the “Mr. Tiger” segment of Tales that, in all likelihood, would appeal most to terror nuts, though. With the sounds of his bickering parents as background music, young Paul Patterson becomes increasingly attached to his imaginary best friend – a tiger. Brown’s Fay, the frustrated wife of a wealthy businessman, grows increasingly agitated as her young son seemingly winds his way, deeper and deeper, into a world of animalistic fantasy.

As dinner bones are gnawed on, hunks of fresh meat disappear from the freezer and doors begin to show the telltale signs of cat scratches, Brown’s wildly unhappy antagonist soon discovers that some fake friends are all too real. In this segment’s gloriously climatic moment, Brown finds a gigantic (obviously fake) paw obliterating her surprised facial expression and her smoky screams echo throughout the piece’s fade-out.

As Madness features knife throwing portraits, jealously murderous trees and cannibalistic guru’s one could almost surmise that this entry was filmed at the tail end of the UK’s horror anthology craze, as opposed to the beginning. (Popular Brit anthology horrors such as the original Tales from the Crypt and Asylum were, also, produced in 1972.) Yet, there is a gleeful outrageous at play here and the sight of Joan Collins, looking quite gorgeous in a mini nightgown and a scene commanding hair bow, attacking a very feminine tree trunk with a curved blade, in the third segment entitled “Mel”, is worth the price of uncertain spouse-hood alone.

Accentuated by infrequent screen goddess Kim Novak (Vertigo, Bell Book and Candle) and such genre regulars as Suzy Kendall (Torso, The Bird with the Crystal Plumage, Spasmo) and Halloween’s Donald Pleasance, Madness, which will make the high tech transition to DVD and Blu-ray on June 26th, is definitely worth a bloody fling through your crumbling VCR.

Brown, who died at 58 from surgical complications, also earned geek points by portraying Worf’s stepmother in two Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes and as this video tribute proves – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFte9WvBFXs – deserves to be much better known than she is.

Until next time –

Baby, We Got Trouble in The Fields!!

Published May 8, 2012 by biggayhorrorfan


It may be hard for all of you to believe, but Big Gay Horror Fan didn’t really fit in with the rest of the cool, shit kicking kids in the small country town that he grew up in. And while, retrospectively, I find nothing wrong with milking cows, chasing Amish buggies and Saturday nights spent at the Moose lodge, I am very happy to be sporting my big city sombrero now.

Still, small town life has informed me in numerous ways, both compassionate (ah, the puppies!) and cheesy (with my lifelong love of backwoods horror as a categorical example, here), and gives me an emotional ‘in’ for quiet terror flicks like Tom Mattera and David Mazzoni’s The Fields.

Released on DVD and Blu-ray disc in April by Breaking Glass Pictures, The Fields explores the inner fears of a youngster named Steven (an untypical Joshua Ormond),sent to live with his grandparents in the Pennsylvania countryside after his parents’ marriage violently unravels.

Taking place in the early 70’s, Steven finds himself under the fearful worldwide sway of Charles Manson as that mad (would be) messiah’s trial becomes a daily media presence. This concern is amplified by his grandmother’s frequent, frantic warnings about avoiding the cornfields behind her home. Soon, he, rightfully, believes that something mysterious and dangerous is occurring around him.

Playing on how the wide open spaces and hollow sounds of rural communities can trouble the imagination, Mattera and Mazzoni work up to a slow boiling creepiness here. They couple this dread by presenting the theory that anything the least unordinary can seem dangerous to the unknowing. This is especially evident in a scene where Steven meets a distant relative’s friendly traveling companion, a boisterous African American man. Working quietly yet powerfully here, they allow patient, undemanding viewers to eventually find themselves as uneasy as young Steven.

There are some minor missteps. A sequence with a car careening through the fields in the film’s denouement and a quickly rushed conclusion mar the quiet reality established, but ultimately don’t do any tremendous internal celluloid damage.

More than anything, though, this film is an actor’s showcase with Cloris Leachman and Bev Appleton doing especially fine work as Steven’s grandparents. In particular, Leachman takes a role that could have been grossly over-the-top in lesser hands and makes an enjoyably living, breathing woman. Whether bickering with her husband, swearing with exasperated casualness or lovingly farting on her grandson at bedtime, Leachman is the heart and soul of the picture and worth the corn stained price of admission, alone.

I would, also, be remiss if I didn’t swoon a bit over tabloid staple (which I care nothing about) and Horror honey (which I do!), Tara Reid (Urban Legend, Vipers, Alone in the Dark) and her natural presence, here, as Steven’s mother. Her scene with Leachman is a winner and she has some tasty chemistry with co-producer Faust Checho, whom plays her hot headed (and just plain hot) husband, Barry. So, Reid Haters – back down or Big Gay Horror Fan may just break out in a rendition of “Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song” Which I assure you – nobody, but nobody wants to hear!

“How Am I Doing, Gram?”: Celebrating the Cameo Appearances of Kelli Maroney.

Published April 28, 2012 by biggayhorrorfan


Big Gay Horror Fan worships at the feet of many, but vibrant actress Kelli Maroney holds a special place in my blood red heart. Known for her committed performances in roles both major (Night of the Comet, Chopping Mall, Face Down) and supporting (Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Slay Ground), Maroney also rocked the occasional cameo appearance with her special presence. Below, are a couple of my favorites.


Big Bad Mama 2. 1987. Maroney shows up as titular Angie Dickinson’s granddaughter Willie in the very last moments of this spritely period crime piece, adding some giddy joy to the film’s comic denouement. Cruising down a highway in a sleek car, snapping her gum with jolted energy, Maroney’s makes the most of her short moment, here. She establishes a sassy kinship with Dickinson, and gives fans a special boost as she eludes a car of vehemently pursuing police officers and speeds off into the final credits. This fun flick, focusing on the lawless yet justified actions of Dickinson and her saucy daughters, is perhaps most memorable for the appearance of former child actress-future musician Danielle Brisebois. Brisebois, who played a precocious orphan during the final seasons of All in the Family (Archie Bunker’s Place), was known for her swarthy raven looks, but arrives on the scene, here, as a voluptuous blonde. Fun!


Transylvania Twist. 1989. Maroney’s brief appearance here, merely waving at someone on a set within a set, may seem minor to the casual fan, but to the confirmed genre cinephile her moment here establishes her as one of the queens of the exploitation field. Featuring appearances by such spook stalwarts and cult icons as Brinke Stevens, Monique Gabrielle, Angus Scrimm, Forrest J. Ackerman, Becky LeBeau, Robert Vaughn, Deanna Lund and even Boris Karloff (in archival footage), director Jim Wynorski obviously realized that Maroney was a necessary component for maxim fan thrill-age and she delivers in spades!

Maroney will be appearing in Chicago, today (4/28/12) only for the beyond cool Sci Fi Spectacular 6 (http://www.facebook.com/#!/events/165651093547315/). To keep up with her on the regular, check out www.kellimaroney.com.

The End is Nigh – But Never Silent!

Published April 24, 2012 by biggayhorrorfan

Fact: Big Gay Horror Fan should be at the gym, burning calories, in the morning. Reality: I am often found on the internet, working out my fingers instead. But, sometimes gold is struck in those meandering hours – as witnessed by these two cool videos.

“The End is Nigh”:

Fact: I think Kaitlin Sacco is just adorable in real life. Reality: She is, also, really talented, as her video combines a little operatic chill with some insight into what it must feel like to have your body slowly transform into something foreign —and undead.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9EFlbqqC28&feature=player_embedded

“Silent Hill: Stolen Heart”

Fact: I think karate superstar/model Zenta Ochi is pretty hot. Reality: He appears shirtless throughout this atmospheric homage to Silent Hill, co-created by Paul Leeming and Hamish Downie! This was filmed in an actual abandoned mining town in Japan – which was probably pretty cold. I know I wouldn’t run around Chicago in the winter without my jacket, so Ochi definitely has my admiration. Ochi: If you ever come to the Midwest, I will definitely have a sweater waiting for you, my man.

And if you haven’t checked out my video interviews with the magnetic Shannon Elizabeth (13 Ghosts, Cursed, The Night of the Demons): www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeBvLjBqLHw or the stunning Lee Meriwether (4D Man, Barnaby Jones, Batman, Time Tunnel, Cruise Into Terror): www.youtube.com/watch?v=vD4PfHAAozw now might be a good time to do that, as well!

Getting the Hack/Slash on C2E2 Madness!

Published April 21, 2012 by biggayhorrorfan


Big Gay Horror Fan’s head is still spinning like Linda Blair in a blender from all the fabulous creative and visual stimula at last week’s C2E2 (aka Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo).

Here are some of the grand highlights (minus the pea soup, of course!):

This is Lauren Bitar, incredible cutie and the creative genius behind the adorable Kusuri Enterprises! I totally could have worked one of her fresh and funky raincoats biking through last Sunday night’s rain – although, a bright blue recycling bag did work wonders – and her funky rubberesque watches are pretty timely, as well! Keep up with all that Kusari originality at: http://www.facebook.com/KusuriEnterprises

I hit the Tom Morello signing after leaving Lauren’s bright genius. This raging nightwatchman had a pretty great handshake and an awesome smile – although, I wish I’d asked him about working with queer rock legend Brian Grillo (Extra Fancy) in early band, Lock Up. Still, I touched the hand of a man who appeared in a cameo in Iron Man, so all is well in the land of groovy fandom.

Next, I got to appear on an awesome WildClaw Theater panel with John Pata and the crew of survivalist horror film, Dead Weight (www.deadweightmovie.blogspot.com). Here is a bunch of them at dinner, afterwards. This film has been getting great press and a BGHF review should be forthcoming, as well.

Of course, with a last name like Fan, I just had to have a few celebrity encounters:

Here, I am getting my intergalactic scruffy on with actor Herb Jefferson, Jr. Best known as Lt. Boomer on the original Battlestar Galactica series, Jefferson, also, appeared in early 1970’s exploitation flick Private Duty Nurses (which is receiving a deluxe reissue in the super cool Roger Corman series in the next month or so) and worked with such theatrical greats as producer Joe Papp. He gladly shared stories about visiting the Playboy Club in Chicago while appearing in The Great White Hope with Brock Peters in the late 60’s and how Papp wouldn’t give him more rehearsal time in a show by, humorously telling him, “You just got married. Now, it’s time to go to bed!”

Meeting famed character actor James Hampton was, also, pretty cool. Hampton has appeared in everything from Teen Wolf to low budget science fiction epic Hanger 18 to Disney’s fun and frisky The Cat From Outer Space. He told me that Jane Fonda, who was still battling a stridently political image when he worked with her on 1979’s The China Syndrome, was a lot of fun and nothing like he expected.

Of course, there were tons of amazing major league (Marvel’s Jeph Loeb, DC’s Gail Simone) and independent (Dirk Manning from theNightmare World series; James Murray from Bride of Prometheon Classic Horror Comics) comic creators, but my happiest moment was when electic Tim Seeley drew me a quick sketch of one of my favorite characters, Pooch, from one of my favorite comics, Hack/Slash. A modern day slasher film come to life (with emotionally true and life damaged characters), Hack/Slash is definitely worth taking a stab at (if – gasp – you haven’t already) and you can keep up the pulse at www.hackslashinc.com .

Until next time, Sweet love and pink Grue, Big Gay Horror Fan!
