[Horror Queers Podcast] No Virgin is Safe in the Town of ‘Cherry Falls’
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!

Coming up Wednesday: we look at cannibalism as a metaphor for homosexuality in Antonia Bird’s Ravenous, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary tomorrow.
