When there are people all around you, you tend not to notice people acting…different. Or not acting at all. When your curiosity tells you to find out more…maybe it’s best not to listen…

CREEPY is created and narrated by Jon Grilz. Sound design by Steve Blizin. Jon Grilz is a writer and podcaster living in Minnesota. His love of horror and creepypastas led to a simple question, “Where are all the creepypasta podcasts?” Having started his horror podcasting with Small Town Horror, delving into the world of some of the best scary stories felt like a natural transition. He can often be found quietly muttering to himself. These words, rarely heard, are best left unknown.

The Queer-Coded Villain in Alfred Hitchcock’s ‘Strangers on a Train’ [Horror Queers Podcast]

Published

Carousel

After spending time with Neil Jordan’s not-campy-enough stalker film Greta (listen) and Olivier Assayas’ Kristen Stewart starring 2016 thriller Personal Shopper (listen), it’s time to revisit Alfred Hitchcock with a look at his 1951 film, Strangers on a Train.

In the film, eccentric and unbalanced Bruno Anthony (Robert Walker) approaches successful tennis player Guy Haines (Rope‘s Farley Granger) on a train with a proposal: they should commit a murder for the other.

While Guy laughs it off, Bruno strangles Guy’s ex-wife Miriam (Kasey Rogers), then stalks the tennis player in an effort to force him to fulfill his end of the bargain.

As Guy struggles under the weight of the police’s scrutiny, he confides in his new girlfriend Anne (Ruth Roman) and her younger sister Babs (Pat Hitchcock) for help. Can Guy avoid arrest? Will Bruno ruin his political aspirations? And how does one of the most memorable carousel sequences in film history figure into the climax?

Episode 273: Strangers on a Train (1951)

We’re back in Hitchcock territory talking about queer villains again with 1951’s Strangers on a Train.

In addition to queer author Patricia Highsmith’s source material, we’ve got lead actor Farley Granger (Rope), obsessive stalking, “I like you” and shirt buttoning, plus climactic fucking on the carousel.

Plus: a tense tennis match, a reflective murder, slutty Miriam, frequent subversions, surprising comedy, and MVP Pat Hitchcock as Babs!
