Episode 166: Waterparks are Terrifying is... remembering the day the world's tallest waterslide became the site of an unimaginable tragedy. The 2016 Verrückt disaster at Schlitterbahn changed amusement ride safety forever and serves as a devastating reminder that bigger isn't always better.
Episode 166: Waterparks are Terrifying is... remembering that sometimes reality is scarier than fiction. The infamous Action Park is known for dangerous rides, undertrained staff, and injuries so common it earned nicknames like "Accident Park." Turns out the real horror wasn't under the water...
Episode 166: Waterparks are Terrifying is... asking the important question: What if was SeaWorld... but murder? "Jaws 3-D" traps guests inside a marine park while a giant great white decides the splash zone needs more screaming. We never trusted those underwater tunnels anyway.
Episode 166: Waterparks are Terrifying is... proving that maybe the lazy river shouldn't have teeth. Before every killer fish movie that came after, the film "Piranha" turned a summer day at a water park into an all-you-can-eat buffet. Suddenly, "No Running" was the least of your concerns.
🌊😱 Ep. 166: Waterparks Are Terrifying! Wave pools, drain entrapment, Crypto outbreaks & Action Park horror stories, then 🎬Piranha (1978) & 🎬Jaws 3D (1983). New patron: Pool Boi Q! Listen now 🎧 frigay13.com/support #FriGay13 #getslayed #horrorpodcast #queerpodcast
Episode 166 coming soon... Can you guess the real-life horror we will be discussing based on these two horror movies we will be reviewing? Clue... it has nothing to do with sea life :)
Episode 165: Beauty is Terrifying is opening the makeup bag of history and finding lead, arsenic, belladonna, and even radiation. For centuries, people have poisoned, burned, and permanently damaged themselves in pursuit of the perfect face. Beauty may be pain, but did it really need to be fatal?
Episode 165: Beauty is Terrifying is scrolling through the nightmare of online beauty trends. DIY chemical peels, at-home procedures, bone smashing, and influencers recommending products they may not understand, because a ring light and a discount code are the same thing as medical training, right?
Episode 165: Beauty is Terrifying is taking one little injection to become a younger, hotter, more perfect version of ourselves. What could possibly go wrong? The Substance delivers blood, body horror, and a vicious look at a culture that treats aging like a disease. Remember: you are one.
Episode 165: Beauty is Terrifying is slicing into the dark side with "American Mary". When a medical student enters the underground world of body modification, beauty becomes power, revenge, and some seriously grisly surgery. How far would you go to become the person you think you’re supposed to be?
💄 Ep 165: Beauty Is Terrifying 🪞 Lead face paint, radium perms & AI dysmorphia meet American Mary + The Substance. Beauty has always been horror. 🎧 New episode out now! frigay13.com/support #FriGay13 #horrorpodcast #getslayed

This week on Episode 164: Pride Shouldn’t Be Terrifying, we’re talking about the horror that’s escaped the screen. Algorithms reward outrage, anonymous accounts amplify hate, and LGBTQIA+ people are increasingly finding themselves the targets of coordinated harassment just for existing online.
Episode 164: Pride Shouldn't be Terrifying is out now! Across the country, some Pride celebrations have been scaled back, postponed, or cancelled altogether because of security concerns and threats. Pride shouldn’t be terrifying—but for too many people, it still is.
It's Episode 164: Pride Shouldn't Be Terrifying. Sometimes the scariest place isn’t a haunted house—it’s the internet. "We’re All Going to the World’s Fair" captures the loneliness, identity, and uncertainty that can grow online and how digital spaces can become horror stories all on their own.
It's our annual pride celebration! Episode 164: Pride Shouldn't Be Terrifying is here! "They/Them" reminds us that the most terrifying monsters aren’t always wearing masks, they’re the people who think they can “fix” who you are. Because queer joy has always been an act of survival.
🌈🔪 Ep. 164: PRIDE SHOULDN'T BE TERRIFYING Canceled parades. Pulled sponsors. Security briefings instead of celebrations. Then: THEY/THEM and We're All Going to the World's Fair — two films about queerness treated as the crime. 🎧 frigay13.com/support #FriGay13 #horrorpodcast #queerhorror
Episode 164 Coming Soon... Should Pride be terrifying? We are here to find out... Out Friday!
Episode 163: Landlords Are Terrifying examines a real horror story from the height of the AIDS crisis. In the 1980s, many people living with AIDS—and those merely suspected of having it—faced discrimination from landlords, evictions, and housing instability fueled by fear and misinformation.
Episode 163: Landlords Are Terrifying isn't just about horror movies. Skyrocketing rents, limited housing, and increasing homelessness have left many people fighting just to keep a roof over their heads. No haunted house required. Just a rental market that feels designed to scare people away.
Episode 163: Landlords Are Terrifying is proving that The haunting may be supernatural but the housing conditions? All too real. In "Dark Water" as strange water stains spread, one mother's fight for a safe home becomes a ghost story soaked in neglect. Did we like this one? Tune in and find out!
Episode 163: Landlords Are Terrifying is taking a trip into one of horror's most disturbing rental properties... In "The People Under the Stairs" Wes Craven gave us a nightmare where greedy landlords don't just exploit their tenants—they literally imprison them.
🏚️ Ep. 163: LANDLORDS ARE TERRIFYING The AIDS crisis. Company towns. The Dublin housing crisis. The People Under the Stairs. Dark Water. Sometimes the monster owns the building. 🎧 frigay13.com/support #FriGay13 #horrorpodcast #queerhorror
Episode 163 Coming Tomorrow! Can you guess the real-life horror we will be discussing based on these two horror movies we will be reviewing??? #DarkWater #PeopleUnderTheStairs
Episode 162: Storms are Terrifying takes us into one of the realest horrors we’ve ever covered: Hurricane Katrina and the nightmare inside Lindy Boggs Medical Center. When Katrina devastated New Orleans, hospitals became prisons. Power failed, temperatures dropped and the floodwaters rose.
Episode 162: Storms are Terrifying gets REAL dark this week. ⛈️ Before modern science, storms were blamed on “sin,” witchcraft, outsiders, queer people, and especially women. Entire communities treated hurricanes and floods like punishment for people existing outside the norm.
Episode 162: Storms are Terrifying is dragging us straight into the floodwaters with “Crawl.” Nothing says nightmare like surviving a hurricane while alligators swim through your house like they own it. If I survive the storm just to get eaten in my own house? Absolutely not.
Episode 162: Storms are Terrifying is making landfall. This week on the Podcast, we’re diving into “Burning Bright” — where a hurricane and a starving tiger turn one locked house into pure nightmare fuel. Because storms are already scary enough without adding a tiger to the forecast.
🌀 Ep. 162: STORMS ARE TERRIFYING A tiger. A house full of boards. A hurricane. Then: alligators, a flooded crawl space, and a Category 5. BURNING BRIGHT + CRAWL. Same concept, different predator, different decade. 🎧 frigay13.com/support #FriGay13 #horrorpodcast #getslayed
