The Campy Antics of ‘All About Evil’ [Horror Queers Podcast]
The Business of Show!
We spent July discussing gender in a myriad of ways: cross-dressing serial killers in Insidious: Chapter 2 and Psycho, as well as trans representation in Escape Room: Tournament of Champions. To keep things in theme, we’re closing out the month with a look at Joshua Grannell‘s (aka drag queen Peaches Christ‘s) 2010 horror comedy All About Evil, which is currently streaming on Shudder!
All About Evil sees an unhinged theatre owner named Deborah (Natasha Lyonne) begin making snuff films and screening them at her decrepit San Francisco theater — presenting them as fictional works — in order to prevent the theater from going bankrupt. Unfortunately for Deborah, her biggest fan (Thomas Dekker) catches on to her scheme and tries to stop her before her antics get his mother (Cassandra Peterson) killed.

Episode 240: All About Evil (2010) feat. Jesse Krempel
Don’t piss yourself while you stuff the corpses in the attic because we’re having a gay old time discussing show business (the business of show) in Joshua Grannell’s/Peaches Christ’s 2010 horror comedy All About Evil. Joining us for the discussion is Jesse Krempel, the host of the Cult Cinema Circle podcast!
Join us as we revisit this campy gem that was very difficult to find until recently. We heap all of the praise on Natasha Lyonne’s absolutely unhinged lead performance, while commending Grannell on his filmmaking craft.
Plus: Elvira out of drag, punny film titles, lots of Thomas Dekker worship, and wondering whether or not Trace knows the word “exorbitant.”
Cross out All About Evil!
Coming up on Wednesday: We’re traveling back to 1978 to discuss the John Carpenter co-written American giallo film Eyes of Laura Mars!
