Celebrating 40 Years of Canadian Slasher ‘My Bloody Valentine’ [Horror Queers Podcast]

Heart-Shaped Box.

Following a month of ‘3s’ and Splice, my extremely WTF birthday pick last week, Trace and I are headed to the East Coast of Canada to celebrate the 40th anniversary of My Bloody Valentine!

In the George Mihalka classic, twenty years after a terrible accident and subsequent murder spree by Harry Warden, the adult workers of a small Nova Scotia mining town are planning for their first Valentine’s Day dance in decades. But TJ (Paul Kelman), Axel (Neil Affleck), Sarah (Lori Hallier) and their friends should be worrying about more than decorations and Moosehead beer.

Thanks to the secretive police Chief (Don Francks) and Mayor Hanniger (Larry Reynolds), the citizens of Valentine’s Bluff have no idea that the festivities are about to turn into a massacre! There’s more on the line than a few broken hearts in this iconic Canadian slasher…

Episode 112 – My Bloody Valentine (1981)

Just in time for Singles Awareness Day, we’re losing our hearts to the 1981 Canadian slasher, My Bloody Valentine…or at least Joe is. Trace is more lukewarm on the George Mihalka film, which suffers from an uninspired villain reveal and too many characters.

We discuss the size (and deliciousness?) of hearts, why TJ’s narrative is important for small town Nova Scotians, the cost of dirtying up a mine and Joe’s strange personal connection to one of the film’s actors.

Plus: love triangles, the film’s censorship woes, Scream Factory gore and Scooby-Doo antics. Happy Valentine’s Day, everybody!


Cross out My Bloody Valentine!

Coming up on Wednesday: We’re exploring found footage horror for the very first time with our discussion of Adam Robitel’s The Taking of Deborah Logan!

The Top 10 Streaming Scary Movies of Today (According to Netflix)

Given that Netflix really is the master of their own data, how many times a viewer streams The Ridiculous 6, or what films don't get watched all the way straight through, or how many times someone watches an episode of Bill Nye Saves the World, it was easy for them to come up with the list based on just one percentage: 70 percent.
