"Madness" (live) - Hedda Mae feat.

The Feelgood Orchestra (Sept. 2021)

Kicking-off the show, that was the fabulous Hedda Mae, an indie pop

singer from Bergen, Norway, fronting The Feelgood Orchestra,

a Norwegian event band, setting the mood with an exciting

live performance of her original song "Madness."

 Happy Halloween and welcome to Vol. 2 of

 SCREAM QUEENS... 

 SHADY'S LEADING LADIES... 

I'm Leandra Florez, leading lady of the 2016

horror thriller movie The Belko Experiment.

UNDER THE GUNN

AT THE OFFICE 

I'll tell you what madness is. I and my coworkers at the Bogotá, Colombia,

branch office of Belko Industries (maker of fine widgets for every occasion)

were going about our beeswax, when suddenly the building was locked

down and we were forced to play a deadly game of kill or be killed.

Failure to meet our "kill quota" by the deadline in any given round

would result in our heads exploding like Gallagher's watermelons. 

  The Belko Experiment was penned and produced by James Gunn,

who was once married (in real life) to "Pam" from The Office.

 Small world!

 So anyway, I hope you'll watch the homicidal hijinks

that unfold in The Belko Experiment.

It's fun for the whole family!

NO ROSE

WITHOUT A THORN

Hi, I'm "Rose." Believe it or not, I was born in

Bogotá, Colombia. Small world indeed!

 Typically when a character in a horror film only has

one name, like "Rose," it means they are gonna die.

 However, I have been lucky enough to survive two

movies in the grisly slasher comedy series Hatchet.

  Yep, I was "final girl" in Hatchet II (2010)...

and again in Hatchet IV...

 a 2017 sequel also known as Victor Crowley.

 You've heard of "too pretty for prison."

 Seems director Adam Green thought I was too cute to get the ax!

In the Hatchet series, groups of clueless tourists and film-

makers are stranded on the bayou where they are terrorized,

attacked and ripped to shreds by swamp thing Victor Crowley...

... the vengeful spirit of a deformed and

bullied boy who died with an ax in his head.

As you try to find your way back out of the dark swamp and escape to freedom,

you need to remember one thing, and this is key: By the time you hear Victor's

creepy howl... it's too late - your as good as dead, bucko! He's a maniac,

maniac, that's for sure And he's killing like he's never killed before!

50 LITTLE INDIANS

 

Hi, I'm "The Pregnant Girl" aka "Pregnant Woman" in Circle.

 Imagine that, folks. I get top billing as the star of the movie,

and yet the studio cheapskates couldn't spring for a name!

Circle is a tense 2015 sci-fi psychological horror-thriller based on 

12 Angry Men, a 1957 courtroom drama directed by Sidney Lumet.

Leandra Florez thought she had it tough in The Belko Experiment,

but wait until you hear what I go thru in the deadly game of Circle.

I'd gladly trade places with the contestants on Squid Game!

50 random strangers are beamed aboard an alien spacecraft and forced to stand

in a circle and participate in a deadly game of elimination. Every two minutes,

a death ray emerges from the floor and zaps one of the people in the circle.

 

The group can either vote for who is next to die or let the aliens choose for them.

The game continues until only one person is left and, as the "winner," is set free.

I don't have a name either...

...and I want my mommy!

I'm "The Little Girl," the youngest player in the Circle.

As if it were any consolation, I finally got a name

near the end of the flick - "Katie."

 In the Circle game, I am positioned right next to The Pregnant Girl.

 We bond and form an alliance as we compete against people of all ages,

races, shapes and sizes in this terrifying event staged by the aliens so

that they can study human behavior.  There has to be a better way!

Katie and I have one thing working in our favor. Few (not all) of

the players are willing to execute a pregnant woman or a little girl.

CLICK TO START THE VIDEO NOW!

Yet, only one contestant can survive this sadistic game. Who will it be?

Needless to say, everyone in the Circle is-- "Livin' On A Prayer!"

If you're just tuning in, this is

 SCREAM QUEENS... 

 SHADY'S LEADING LADIES... 

 ... another Shady's Place/S-P-M-M radio exclusive!

HELLO DOLLY!

Greetings to one and all. I am

Ghost Doll Nadja.

... the cute, cuddly, potty-mouth ghost/doppelganger mini-me doll

that belongs to the Romani vampire Nadja of Antipaxos on

What We Do In The Shadows, the FX mockumentary

 comedy horror TV series set on Staten Island.

I will now turn this drab affair into an out-and-out

Balkan blowout as I bring you my segment called

Party Doll Nadja.

As the Ghost of Nadja, I am more than 500 years old, but I don't look a day over 18.

That is because I have inhabited this cute little doll.

 

 Yes, it is true. I have the ability to inhabit people,

animals and even inanimate objects...

 ...like Shady Del Knight.

 Inhabiting is what I do. Inhabiting is a hard habit to break. 

I am already getting hundreds of song requests, but only have time

to play two. I am well versed in popular music. Since I have been

around for centuries, I was there at the very start of rock & roll

...the big bang we now refer to as "Milli Vanilli." 

Ladies and germs...

back by unpopular

demand and offering

you the very beast of

entertainment, here he

is - The Crooner from

the Black Lagooner -

the lame, tired, cringe-

worthy lounge act

The Creature Sings

- doing a song he's

dedicating to little

old me. How sweet!

The Creature Sings, everybody! Please give him

a great big hand... (across his mouth).

(BA-DUM-BUMP)

  Pay him a fin and he's happy, because he works for scale.

(BA-DUM-BUMP)

How dare you call me Rag Doll, Gill Mann!  I'll have you know that

I've gone from rags to riches as the breakout star of my hit TV show.

I admit that I have given some wooden performances in my time...

(BA-DUM-BUMP)

but, after catching your act (with a rod and reel), I have

concluded that you, my flippered friend, take chintzy to

the next level, so don't bother fishing for compliments.

(BA-DUM-BUMP)

When it comes to recognizing true talent... I'm no dummy.

For my second and last play of the day, I present the

dynamic duo that appeared along with Gill Mann

in Shadyween Part 1 a few weeks ago.

I am proud to reintroduce two of the brightest stars of musician,

producer and talent scout Andrei Cerbu's Romanian band camp.

Here are Beatrice Florea and Giulia Sirbu, performing as

Shut Up & Kiss Me!... covering the Bee Gees' 1979

chart-topping international hit "Too Much Heaven!"

I hope you liked the songs I played. If not, you can

pound sand and bark at the moon. See if I care.

Now this is your Ghostess With the Mostest, Ghost Nadja,

bidding you farewell.  See you next time on...

Party Doll Nadja!

BREE YOUNG

BREE FOOLISH

BREE HAPPY

BREE DEAD!

I'm Bree - no last name - which doesn't bode well in a horror movie.

As you can see, I took my ugly pill this morning.

But seriously, folks, here's the deal.

 I'm the buzzworthy blonde responsible for the hottest

scene in the history of the Friday the 13th franchise.

It's found in the 2009 sequel Friday the 13th, Part 80:

Jason's Back Stabbin' in the Cabin.

So, here's what happened.  I started out a happy camper.

Upon arriving, it felt so good taking a dip in Crystal Lake.

In the next reel, I took a dip (named Trent) in a cabin bedroom...

but I'm getting ahead of myself.

CLICK TO START THE VIDEO NOW!

So anyway, as I was skinny dipping all by my lonesome, I suddenly

felt a chill in the air.  I sensed the presence of Camp Crystal Lake's

resident bad boy, notorious masked slasher Jason Voorhees, who

makes a habit of stalking, ambushing and killing campers like

me and my friends. To flesh out the details for you, here are

Jason and his band The Merkins with "At The Camp Tonight!"

"At The Camp Tonight" - parody of Phil Collins'

"In The Air Tonight" by Jason Voorhees

and The Merkins (March 2020)

I wasn't about to let my silly concerns about Jason spoil my good time.

Eager to get the party started, I consumed

mass quantities and got my groove on.

  My suggestive twerking got fellow camper Trent so worked up

that he dragged me off to a private room. 

There we played a rousing game of Snakes and Ladders (euphemism).

"CH-CH-CH, HA-HA-HA"

Trent and I were so busy pickin' wild mountain berries (euphemism)...

and playing hide the hot dog (euphemism) that we didn't even notice... 

HE'S BACK!.....

The Man Behind The Mask!

 

"The Man Behind The Mask" - Alice Cooper

(Halloween 1986, highest chart pos. #4 Sweden,

$61 UK, from Oct. 1986 album Constrictor)

Darn it!  Being the hottest female ever to appear in a Friday the 13th film...

I expected to survive Jason's onslaught and emerge as the "Final Girl." 

But Trent and I forgot the cardinal rule of slasher flicks. 

If you make whoopee... you must die.

So yeah... bummer... I didn't make the cut.

 That's Jason's specialty.

And so I was voted off the island. Poor me.

 Hopefully, my twin sister will show up in the cast of a future sequel.

Well, that concludes my portion of our Scream Queens special.

To add the finishing touch, once again it's "hammer time." Here's my buddy,

my pal, my new beast fiend (he's a real cut-up at parties) - Jason Voorhees -

singing his signature song "With Every Life I Take... I'll Be Stalking You." 

"Every Life I Take (I'll Be Stalking You)" parody

DEVIL WENT UP TO OHIO

My name is Mae Louise Dodd.

Think I look like Hannah from the TV sitcom Blockbuster?

I get that a lot.

Never even heard of the TV series Blockbuster?  I get that a lot, too. 

 Nope, I'm not Hannah. As I said, I'm Mae, star of the 2022

suspense thriller Netflix series Devil in Ohio.

 I'm a spooky teenage girl who escaped a devil-worshipping cult out

in the boonies. Yep, the devil went down to Georgia, but his fan club is

headquartered here in the Buckeye state, and my daddy's the president.

 Daddy dearest asked me to do the human sacrifice thing and

volunteer to be burned at the stake to please Satan.  Not keen

on the idea, I blew that pop stand and ran away to the suburbs.

I'm looking for a forever home with a nice family...

and I'm potty trained.  Any takers?

 

For more on my story, here's a no-name band of session musicians

assembled by Randy Walker, veteran touring and studio drummer

and owner of 22 Media Production Studio in Scottsdale, Arizona.

The group includes Greg Smith of the Ted Nugent band on bass and vocals,

Jason Hartless of the Ted Nugent band on drums, and backing vocals by

Alyssa Simmons. Let's call them the 22 Media Band, and here

they are doing Cliff Richard's 1976 hit-- “Devil Woman!”

AMAZING GRACE

(HAS NO LAST NAME!)

I'm just plain Grace, star of the 2019 horror film Halloween Party.

Here's the gist.  My friends and I are a group of college kids

in search of a quality education cheap Halloween thrills.

 On a dare, we decide to play a mysterious computer game

that requires you to name your deepest, darkest fear.

Ask yourself this, friends.  In a low budget horror movie,

does it ever turn out well when bored teens do that?

Here again is Hedda Mae, the exciting young Norwegian

popper you met at the top of the show, explaining that

what happens next in my flick is sheer-- "Madness!"
