Midnight Mass

Was surprised by how much I enjoyed Luc Besson’s DRACULA. It’s a real spectacle! To be fair, for most of the second act I thought I was watching Tommy Wiseau’s “The Castle”.

Thank you SO much!!!!

Hell yeah!!! Listening to the Chopping Mall episode of @midnightmasspod.bsky.social!! I love @peacheschrist.com and @michaelvarrati.bsky.social It’s my favorite podcast!! @kellimaroney.bsky.social ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Have a nice day! This week on the Midnight Mass Pod, Peaches & Michael hit the Galleria for 1986’s CHOPPING MALL! From Kelli Maroney & Barbara Crampton to killer robots and dangerous gum chewing, it’s chaos. Guests Bryan & Dave White & Mae Shults join PEACHESCHRIST.COM

CHOPPING MALL (one of my faves) is streaming free with ads on Tubi so you can enjoy the killer mall hijinks before listening. 🤖⬇️

Mae joined last week's guest @michaelvarrati.bsky.social on @midnightmasspod.bsky.social to talk Chopping Mall and go on an anti-capitalist rant that was more intense and well-worded than her usual!

Check it out now <3

I had SO MUCH FUN talking about this absolute gem with Michael & Peaches! Go check out the new episode of @midnightmasspod.bsky.social to hear me go on a very well-worded anti-capitalist rant!

Hell yeah it is!

It's me! (and Dave!) On Midnight Mass!

You can really watch Black horror movies every single day this month. Here’s 28 I recommend to help you get started!

A film still of cult icon Dick Miller holding a mop and being cartoonishly electrocuted with animated electricity bolts.

Get ready! At midnight, we're releasing an all-new episode celebrating a movie that's a shocking look at one of America's most capitalist institutions.

Now THAT is a double feature.

A portrait of Catherine O'Hara. She's wearing feathered sleeves and using them to frame her face. She's grinning.

The loss of Catherine O'Hara feels monumental. An icon of pop culture, comedy, and cult, she had that effortless delivery that we know reveals the skill of a master. From SCTV to SCHITT'S CREEK, as well as her work w/ Tim Burton, Christopher Guest, and beyond, was...and is...absolutely definitive.

2026 marks 30 years of Peaches Christ in SF and I’m kicking off the celebration in a big way. This Thursday the 26th, I’ll be announcing the first anniversary event in my newsletter & yes, it’s the return of a beloved classic.

'Horror Not Hate' Comic Anthology Needs Your Help January 28th marks the final date of the crowdfunding campaign for Horror Not Hate, an anti-fascist and anti-hate horror comic anthology.

Very thankful for the last minute coverage for Horror Not Hate by the @comicsbulletin.bsky.social

Vets of the East Coast horror convention scene may recognize Greg Ketter and his store DreamHaven Books as a fixture of the legendary Cinema Wasteland. I only interacted with Greg in passing by way of the show and it's been years, but what a hell of a way to find out he's fighting the good fight.

‘She was a bitch in the best possible way’: the life and mysterious death of drag queen Heklina The performer was found dead in ‘unexpected’ circumstances in her London flat in 2023. Why are her loved ones still waiting for an explanation?

Incredible article about Heklina in the The Guardian about her iconic legacy. If you ever saw her light up a stage, ever felt the impact of Trannyshack, ever loved SF drag because it was fearless and dangerous and hilarious and alive- this is essential reading.

They’re here! This week on Midnight Mass, Peaches Christ & Michael Varrati haunt the suburbs with 1982’s POLTERGEIST. Joined by Christopher Hamblin and ghost huntress Roz Hernandez, they dig into Carol Anne, clown dolls, and Reagan-era dread. Listen at peacheschrist.com

A film still from 1982's POLTERGEIST, featuring Zelda Rubenstein as clairvoyant ghost huntress Tangina. Tangina stands clutching her chest in dramatic lighting at the bottom of a twisted staircase.

We're nothing if not patient.

Two men look over a fence at a scenic, if disturbing, cemetery on a grassy hillside.

Get ready! At midnight, we're releasing an all-new episode celebrating a movie that knows what scares you.

Opening Drag Academy with It’s a Sin by @petshopboys.co.uk felt like a queer homecoming. Not only was it the 1st number I performed at Trannyshack in 1996 but I was 13 when it came out and obsessed doesn’t quite cover it. At 17, I saw the PSB on the Performance Tour in D.C., and EVERYTHING clicked.

From a cult TV show to discussing cult films? We think we can handle it.

Scorch Marks movie production slate signaling our official wrap on principal photography.

That’s a wrap on that! Scorch Marks is coming in 2026.

A still from 1981's FANGS (aka ANYAB) featuring a woman in dramatic vampire drag standing next to a dude in a disco leisure suit.

In the latest @midnightmasspod.bsky.social, I mentioned an Egyptian knock-off of ROCKY HORROR titled FANGS (aka ANYAB) from 1981. It's truly wild: Couple ends up at castle, owned by Dracula instead of Frank, disco numbers ensue. The queerness is navigated around, which makes it feel...more queer?
