Horror has always had a queer heart. Daddy Baz just turned on the lights. Baz To The Bone is a podcast about the films that scared us, the culture that shaped us, and the dark corners where queer identity and horror have always overlapped. Cult film. Bear culture. The stories nobody else is telling. Pull up a chair — it gets darker from here.

    The Exorcist: The Summer I Hit Puberty and Puberty Hit Back
    2026/07/14

    Horror and cult film podcast with Baz Bishop.

    Episode 06: The Exorcist — The Summer I Hit Puberty and Puberty Hit Back.

    I was ten years old the first time something possessed me. It wasn't a demon. It was my own body, and it had opinions. A paperback novel found Baz at ten, six years before he ever saw the film. A censored 1980 CBS broadcast turned fear into craft appreciation. Dick Smith's makeup effects, Mercedes McCambridge's uncredited demon voice, the Satanic Panic, and the real story behind this film's "cursed production" reputation — fire, injuries, real deaths, and a Jesuit priest connected to this story at both ends.

    Timestamps:

    [00:00] Cold Open — "I was ten years old the first time something possessed me." The reveal, then the evidence. The Exorcist namechecked early.

    [01:48] Act One — The Summer of 1974. The novel, not the film. Tubular Bells. Auntie Mame. Guilt, self-loathing, a body not yet understood.

    [08:25] Act Two — February 1980, CBS. The censored broadcast, age fifteen. Mercedes McCambridge's voice work. Dick Smith's craft. The start of a career.

    [14:25] Act Three — The Myth vs. The Record. Satanic Panic / Michelle Remembers. The Friedkin manipulation pattern. The fire, the injuries, the deaths. Father Bermingham's blessing — and his deeper connection to this story.

    [25:10] The Turn — All three threads land on one move: reaching for a monster instead of sitting with the mundane, internal truth.

    [27:20] The Close — Career payoff. EP07 tease: The Horror of Party Beach.

    Films and references in this episode: The Exorcist (1973), The Exorcist (novel, 1971), Michelle Remembers (1980), Auntie Mame (1958).

    Other references: Famous Monsters of Filmland. Fangoria. Tubular Bells (Mike Oldfield, 1973). The Roland Doe case, 1949. The Satanic Panic. Columbia House Record and Tape Club.

  • Night of the Living Dead and the Hero Nobody Expected

    Night of the Living Dead and the Hero Nobody Expected
    2026/06/30
    Horror and cult film podcast with Baz Bishop. Episode 05: Night of the Living Dead and the Hero Nobody Expected. Fall 1982. University of South Carolina. Halloween night. A free film in the Russell House Student Union. A bag of popcorn. And a Black man boarding up a farmhouse in Pennsylvania, calmly and unapologetically taking charge — changing, quietly and permanently, something in a white kid from Allendale. George Romero. $114,000. Black and white. Evans City, Pennsylvania. The film that invented the modern zombie, did it for less than a decent used car costs, and ended up preserved in the Library of Congress. The monster that can't be reasoned with. The real danger inside the house. The ending you don't look away from. Duane Jones as Ben. Cast because he was the best actor available — full stop. An academic and theatre director whose students at SUNY Old Westbury had no idea he'd been the lead in one of the most important horror films ever made. He never told them. Made the film, knew what it was, went back to his life. Night of the Living Dead was his time. He was right. Allendale Academy. Confederate mascot. Confederate flag as the school flag. Dixie as the school song. Twelve years. A graduating class of twenty-five. Seventy percent Black county. Never sat next to a Black student in a classroom. The architecture of exclusion, built deliberately, maintained carefully, still paying its costs. Coming out. A letter. One afternoon. The emergency exit taken away. The Black sheep. The figure in the window. The cost of visibility when the world would prefer you weren't. And then — the reconciliation. Because they came back. And he let them. Timestamps: 00:00 Cold Open — No music. Russell House, 1982. Halloween night. Ben arrives. Something shifts. 06:11 The Setup — What this episode is and isn't. The argument stated. The ethical position named upfront. No emergency exit. 09:52 Movement 1 — The Film — Night of the Living Dead: $114,000. Evans City, Pennsylvania. Romero at 27. Ben. Harry Cooper. The real monster inside the house. The ending. 1968 in America. 16:57 Movement 2 — Duane Jones — The man who played Ben. Academic, theatre director, head of department. The café on Long Island. His students had no idea. Night of the Living Dead was his time. Ganja and Hess. 25:23 Movement 3 — Where You Come From — Allendale, South Carolina. Allendale Academy. The flag, the mascot, the song. The architecture of segregation. What Baz benefitted from and at whose cost. 35:39 Movement 4 — The Black Sheep — Coming out. David's letter. One afternoon. The emergency exit taken away. The figure in the window. The cost of visibility. The empathy that comes from needing it. 44:24 The Turn — They came back. The reconciliation. The Angelou line and its oral tradition provenance. The harder choice, made and made again. 52:50 The Close — Romero's death. Jones's legacy. The proof of concept. Goose and Lily. Not bad for a kid from Allendale. EP06 tease. Sign off. Films and references in this episode: Night of the Living Dead (1968), White Zombie (1932), I Walked With a Zombie (1943), Ganja and Hess (1973), Losing Ground (1982), The Quiet Man (1952). Other references: George Romero. Duane Jones. Karl Hardman. Russell Streiner. Kathleen Collins. Allendale Academy. Allendale County, South Carolina.

  • He Made Me Gay — The Horror Icons Who Did Something To Us

    He Made Me Gay — The Horror Icons Who Did Something To Us
    2026/06/18

    Horror and cult film podcast with Baz Bishop.

    Episode 04: He Made Me Gay — The Horror Icons Who Did Something To Us.

    The argument: classic horror was one of the few places in mid-twentieth century culture that was accidentally, systematically, and sometimes deliberately doing something queer. Not inclusive — queer. There’s a difference.

    Vincent Price. Christopher Lee. Paul Naschy. The Hays Code. Dracula as the foundational queer-coded figure. Werewolves as proto-furries. The bear community. Lon Chaney Jr., Oliver Reed, and twelve films of Waldemar Daninsky. A gay Halloween party. A chandelier. A wig. A Monster in a maroon velvet top hat.

    Timestamps:

    [00:00] Cold Open — No music. The Halloween party. Tony. The chandelier. The wig. The Elsa Lanchester bouffant eight feet in the air.

    [03:09] The Setup — What the story is actually about. The argument stated. Not nostalgia — an argument. Also, there will be werewolves.

    [05:22] Movement 1 — The Claim. What horror gave queer boys before anything else did. Not representation — something older. The monster was magnificent in its wrongness.

    [08:11] Movement 2 — Why Horror Specifically. The Hays Code. Dracula as the foundational queer-coded figure. The Universal monster cycle.

    [13:00] Movement 3 — The Icons as Evidence. Price, Lee, Naschy. Three registers, one consistent truth. The voice. The doorway. The twelve films.

    [19:27] Movement 4 — The Body Hair Argument. Werewolves. The body that betrays. Proto-furries. The bear community.

    [26:44] The Turn — Personal. Lon Chaney Jr., Oliver Reed, Paul Naschy, Dark Shadows werewolves. Sad, hairy, doleful creatures. Tony callback.

    [30:20] The Close — The generational fault line. The men before Stonewall. What horror gave them. EP05 tease: Night of the Living Dead.

    Films and references in this episode: Bride of Frankenstein (1935), Dracula (1931), House of Wax (1953), Masque of the Red Death (1964), The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971), Horror of Dracula (1958), Curse of the Werewolf (1961), The Wolf Man (1941), Dark Shadows (TV, 1966–71), Night of the Living Dead (1968).

    Other references: The Hays Code (Motion Picture Production Code). The Universal Monster Cycle, 1930s–40s. The Bear Community. The Furry Community. Stonewall. Allendale, South Carolina.
