Kill your virgins.
The last few weeks on the Horror Queers Podcast have resulted in plenty of great discussions and hilarious shenanigans. We’ve brought in a third to discuss the lesbian Rosemary’s Baby-esque film Lyle, discussed the toxic friendship at the center of Always Shine and defended the underrated 1999 supernatural sequel The Rage: Carrie 2.
In the newest episode, we are joined by special guest Brennan Klein to discuss the troubled production of Geoffrey Wright’s slasher film Cherry Falls, which focuses on a small town where a serial killer is stalking virgins. The film, which was the most expensive TV movie ever made at the time, stars Michael Biehn and the late Brittany Murphy.

Episode 11 – Cherry Falls (2000)
It’s a regular Hymen Holocaust this week as Joe and Trace detour into Cherry Falls, a place where no virgin is safe and problematic cross-dressing serial killers reside. They pick up special guest Brennan Klein (co-host of Scream 101 podcast and producer of Blumhouse’s Attack of the Queerwolf!), who chimes in with his thoughts on all things related to Michael Biehn’s “Biehn-pole.”
The guys discuss the overt sexual tension between Brittany Murphy and Biehn (they’re father and daughter!), foot-sucking fetishes and the use of dildos and model sharks as weapons. Also up for debate: What exactly counts as sex in the climactic teen orgy? We have to know!
CLASS DISMISSED!
Cross out Cherry Falls!
Coming up Wednesday: we look at cannibalism as a metaphor for homosexuality in Antonia Bird’s Ravenous, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary tomorrow.
