alternate rending 😱 🪓 @jamiroqueer.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
We’re doing it again! A horror movie every night in October if we can manage it Last night we kicked things off by seeing the @muscledistribution.bsky.social restoration of SCREAMPLAY
Poster for SCREAMPLAY: A black and white illustration of a crazed-looking man at a typewriter, two giant disembodied hands reaching out on either side of him in a strangler’s pose. The title is on a mountaintop in the background, a la the “HOLLYWOOD” sign. “…takes HOLLYWOOD by the throat and STRANGLES it!”, promises a tagline at the bottom.

Ken Camp's work is key to video art and gay history. You should preorder--and not just because I got to write about soap operas and "soap operas" and ""soap operas"" for the special features.

HEY NYC - go to SCREAMPLAY this week at @anthologyfilm.bsky.social This one deserves the big screen. What a fun weird time--with such technical precision (including @muscledistribution.bsky.social's restoration!) Plus: George Kuchar as a convincing sweaty heterosexual misanthrope. Go!

As always, shout out to @schlockvalue.bsky.social & @muscledistribution.bsky.social for bringing this gem to the world. A goofy little movie that I find kind of overwhelmingly sweet in how much it involves Doris incorporating her past, capturing a specific era of Miami Dade, and just having fun.
