SUMMARY:2026 Pride Movie & Music Series - Psycho Beach Party & Temptrix
DESCRIPTION:The Bloody Rose Boutique Pride Movie & Music Series returns! We are back on North Loop at Barrett’s Too (formerly Double Trouble) with one film and one punk band and vendors every Wednesday night in June! \n_Films_June 3 – Times SquareJune 10 – Psycho Beach PartyJune 17 – Slumber Party MassacreJune 24 – Elvira Mistress of the Dark \n_Bands_June 3 – Maiden Mother CroneJune 10 – TEMPTRIXJune 17 – Naga BrujoJune 24 – Dednamez \n_Vendors_Bloody Rose Boutique – dark things for dark peopleQueeriosities – Original handcrafted t-shirts\, hats\, stickers + more.Sara Froelich – VHS and more \n_Location_Barrett’s Too103 N Loop Blvd E\, Austin\, TX 78751 \nALL AGESFREE ADMISSION \n************************************* \n__Times Square__ \nIn his 1999 monograph Times Square Red\, Times Square Blue\, Samuel R. Delany describes the cross-class sexual and social contact that made Times Square central to his and other gay men’s lives. The civic and commercial redevelopment projects targeting the neighborhood meant\, he argues\, “major demolition\, destruction\, and devastation in what had established itself not only in the American psyche\, but in the international imagination\, as one of the world’s most famous urban areas.” – Screen Slate \n__Psycho Beach Party__Originally a 1987 stage play by Charles Busch\, a drag performer and PBP screenwriter\, Psycho Beach Party is the quintessentially queer horror comedy satire and parody of the early-2000s\, and we don’t talk about it enough. This could be due to the popularity of another horror comedy parody of the same year: Scary Movie (2000). However\, while Scary Movie has queer characters\, they are marred by extremely pervasive stereotypes that have persisted in film\, especially horror\, for decades. Psycho Beach Party\, on the other hand\, has more to offer horror queers than Scary Movie. It was created by a queer individual and satirizes 1950s/1960s conservatism and family values. This campy summer flick that draws from films like Psycho (1960) and Surf Party (1964) deserves more recognition for its creativity and proud queerness. – Horror Press \n__Slumber Party Massacre__Amy Holden Jones’ Slumber Party Massacre (1982) is like a queer-coded haunted house\, with jumpscares and gags around every corner.  \nIn many ways\, this fast-paced 80s slasher doesn’t seem to deviate from the tropes and stereotypes prevalent in the genre at the time. Trish (Michele Michaels) and her group of friends throw a slumber party while her parents are out of town\, but of course\, a murderer is on the loose. Girls stay home alone for the first time\, break their parent’s rules\, and get punished for their moral delinquencies by a blindly murderous man with a drill. However\, once you consider that it was directed\, produced and written by women (the screenwriter is queer feminist author Rita Mae Brown)\, you start to see the movie through a queer lens. Also\, once you learn that it was originally written to be a parody but later changed to be a straight-up slasher\, you can see the elements of comedy and self-awareness. The inclusion of subtle queer subtext subverts these overplayed tropes and adds a layer of camp over the film. Plus\, it’s always fun to play ‘find the queer subtext’\, sometimes even inserting a bit of your own.  -Queer Fear Film Festival \n__Elvira Mistress of the Dark__Elvira: Mistress of the Dark\, is an utter delight\, the perfect Halloween film. The premise concerns a local-TV horror host who longs to parlay her talents into a Vegas showgirl career (which is Peterson’s career trajectory\, only in reverse). In an effort to scrape together the money for her show\, she lands in the tiny conservative town of Falwell\, Massachusetts\, where her mysterious recently departed aunt may have left behind the resources Elvira needs. The story vibrates with queerness — not explicitly\, but so plainly in the subtext I don’t know how heterosexuals can even make sense of what they’re seeing. There’s name of the town\, of course (a reference to the anti-gay preacher Jerry Falwell)\, and then there are the villains of the piece\, a self-appointed club of moral crusaders who consider Elvira to be a poor influence on the local kids due to her sexuality\, and they want to expel her by any means necessary. What queer person can’t identify with that? – The Stranger \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/937503032454292/

SUMMARY:IT'S OK TO SCREAM - New works by RICARDO ACEVEDO RIP DL
DESCRIPTION:IT’S OK TO SCREAM – New works by RICARDO ACEVEDOa tribute to DAVID LYNCH \nIn the dark\, in the shadow of our subconscious lay dreams of passion and torment\, of willingness and rebellion. These topics have always driven my art. Like for many David Lynch was the patron saint of all this. His ability to see the corruption and beauty of dreams\, the moody unpredictability of existence. The places we go to find ourselves and others who share the mystery of perception\, time\, space and the romance of things seen as ugly by many. These times are full of all these things writhing\, screaming\, whispering\, pointing us to introspection. Seeking\, always seeking love. \nMy installation and performance poetry will attempt to portray all this. How my brain see’s this all. \nI will be joined by Lynchian high priestess BETTY X! Who will provide the overall soundtrack for the opening\, as only a true Lynch aficionado can. Moody\, ethereal\, dark LYNCHIAN – https://www.bettyx.com/ \nThere will of course be some framed pieces\, prints and books for sale. \nPlease come and let your subconscious roam free. Let’s swim with big fish in the deep murky waters of thought.You can see more of my work at – https://inthera.tumblr.com \nHope to see you there ~ R \n***I’M ATTEMPTING TO HAUNT YOU WITH YOURSELF*** \n__ Free admission__ \nAll ages\, but 21 and over to drink! (Beer & wine while supplies last) \nIT’S OK TO SCREAM – New works by RICARDO ACEVEDO a tribute to DAVID LYNCH will be on display Friday\, March 7 through Monday\, April 7at The Bloody Rose Boutique Gallery – 805 Stark St\, Austin\, TX 78756
