Big Gay Horror Fan Sizes Up Our Dead Hooker!

The dead prostitute is at it again, showing up at reviewers' homes (probably in something scandalous). We were fortunate enough to have avid horror and comic fan and reviewer extraordinaire, Brian Kirst, take the time to watch 'Dead Hooker in a Trunk' and give his thoughts. Who is Brian Kirst aka The Big Gay Horror Fan? Let me introduce you in his own words -

"I am a queer writer - cofounder of Racks and Razors - a horror site devoted to women, a member of and frequent writer for Horror Society.com. I am also the host of Horror Society Live every Wednesday night."

He has biting wit and intellect in his work. If you want to check out a fresh, smart take on horror reviews you should definitely check out his work on Horror Society and his personal blog, queerfearscarewithatwist. What did he have to say about the film? Here's a little delicious piece --

"Like the perfect combination of a hard balled femme Tarantino and a grape kiss-me pump sporting Eli Roth, these adventurous gals have created a world where a bouncing eyeball, a ripped off arm or a picturesque visit from a hipster god doesn’t stop their characters from achieving their ultimate goal – finding out just who exactly is trying to frame Badass (Sylvia), Geek (Jen), Junkie (Rikki Gagne) and Goody Two-Shoes (C. J. Wallis) by placing a murdered whore in the trunk of Badass’ car."

Ok, now go read the whole thing and be happy that you did! Brian, thank you for the lovely writeup. You are a friend to dead hookers everywhere.


In other, slightly related news, it's the Vancouver Pride Parade tomorrow! The route is from Robson St, to Denman St, to Beach Ave. There's going to be all sorts of rad festivities and a beer garden for the grown ups. Come out and support people's right to love one another without pathetic medieval hate. Now is a time to be socially responsible and show our support for one another. In years, we'll look back at this time and be proud to have stood beside one another - and how many times can you do something so important and have a fucking rad time? See you there!

Hey, Mikey! He Likes It!

Now go ask your parents kids for what the blog title means. Or, better yet, keep your seats planted and check it out here... Ah, nothing starts your day out right like ancient advertising.

Now, onto the gooey center of this blog. You may be asking yourselves, "what the hell does cereal have to do with anything?" Well, you should be asking yourselves, "who is Mikey?" To be accurate, we aren't speaking of "Mikey", but rather "The Mike". Now who is this mysterious and wonderful entity? He is a writer for FROM MIDNIGHT, WITH LOVE. An introduction to the author...

"The Mike began his youth by demanding ghost and monster stories, and was soon given three VHS tapes by his parents - The Creature from the Black Lagoon, Lon Chaney's The Phantom of the Opera, and 1958's The Blob. Since then, he has embraced the wide world of cinema, and has always kept the bizarre, fantastic, and macabre close to his heart."

He is also a Gemini, ladies.

Now, we don't expect anyone to just hear about Dead Hooker In A Trunk and say, "dammit, that title rules. Clearly this is the greatest cinematic work that has ever graced this world." The title is just there to steer people in the right direction and we hope for the film to speak for itself. The Mike is a smart man. He clearly saw the cuteness of our title and, as a clever man, hoped that the title wouldn't be the best part of the film. We're happy to say that it wasn't. His review of the film is thoughtful, detailed, and we couldn't be happier to have won him over.

"I'm almost shocked to say how much I enjoyed Dead Hooker in a Trunk." ~The Mike, From Midnight, With Love

But don't stop there. The Mike is a man that knows his shit. Check out his blog and you'll be happy that you did.

Bloody best,
Jen
