FriGay the 13th Horror Podcast

🌈🔪 Episode 164: PRIDE SHOULDN'T BE TERRIFYING 🔪🌈 It's Pride Month, and Matty & Andrew are asking the question nobody wants to answer: why does celebrating still feel like a risk? This week's Horror in Real Life: Pride events turning into full security operations, parades getting canceled outright (Tampa, Arlington, Long Beach), corporate sponsors quietly bailing, and the online harassment machine that never clocks out. Cute rainbow crosswalk, increasingly not-cute reality. Then, two films about queerness treated as the crime: 🎬 THEY/THEM — Kevin Bacon's second "killer stalking a camp" movie (yes, after Friday the 13th), this time set at a conversion therapy camp. Corny in places, but it lands a real gut-punch about where queer rage goes. 🎬 WE'RE ALL GOING TO THE WORLD'S FAIR — Jane Schoenbrun's deeply online, deeply trans identity horror. 🎧 Listen now wherever you get your podcasts! 💸 Support the show: frigay13.com/support #FriGay13 #PrideMonth #horrorpodcast #lgbtqpodcast #queerpodcast #horrorcommunity #getslayed #horrorpodcasts #queerhorror #gayhorror #THEYTHEM #WorldsFair #PrideShouldntBeTerrifying

Nature doesn't care about you. It never did. This week Matty & Andrew are boarding up the windows and sitting with the most primal fear of all — the sky itself turning against you. We get into the long, ugly history of storms being used to blame queer people, the real science behind why severe weather feels genuinely supernatural, and why Tornado Alley is no longer where anyone thinks it is. Also: twenty years after Katrina, New Orleans is still haunted — and not in the way you'd expect. And then we watched some movies. 🍿🌩️ 🎬 BURNING BRIGHT — A Bengal tiger named Lucifer. A boarded-up house. A hurricane bearing down on Florida. A stepfather with a life insurance policy and zero conscience. This 2010 straight-to-DVD gem is genuinely underseen and we need you to watch it immediately. 🎬 CRAWL — Category 5 Hurricane Wendy has hit Florida. Haley Keller has gone back for her dad. He's in the crawl space. The crawl space is flooded. The crawl space has alligators in it. Alexandre Aja and Sam Raimi said hold our beers. Same premise. Different predator. Different decade. Both absolutely unhinged. Plus: Horror in Real Life, Whatcha Been Watchin' Bitch, and a closing game of STORM WARNING! 🎧 Listen now wherever you get your podcasts! 💸 Support the show: frigay13.com/support #FriGay13 #StormsAreTerrifying #horrorpodcast #lgbtqpodcast #queerpodcast #BurningBright #Crawl #AlexandreAja #SamRaimi #KayaScodelario #creaturefeature #survivalthriller #horrorcommunity #getslayed #queerhorror #naturalhorror #horrorpodcasts
