The AIDS Allegory at the Center of David Cronenberg’s ‘The Fly’ [Horror Queers Podcast]
He’s a squirter.

When writer-director Tom McLoughlin grabbed the wheel of the Friday the 13th franchise, he took it in a completely new direction. Five sequels in — and particularly following the polarizing reception to 1985’s Friday the 13th: A New Beginning — he knew the slasher series needed a fresh take. Something that could recalibrate the Jason […]
