Big Easy Queens heading to Florida for Popcorn Frights World Premiere! Drag queens, original musical numbers, zombies, and "campy neo-giallo delight," say no more, we're in. The story centers on a turf war, forcing the Bouvèé sisters to set aside their differences to become the “Big Easy Queens!” And speaking of home turf, the made in Florida horror movie having its World Premiere at Popcorn Frights feels like a perfect pairing. Let's take a look at the official synopsis before diving into the promised trailer premiere.
Entirely made in Florida and set in the steamy underworld, BIG EASY QUEENS follows Minnie Bouvèé, Mob Queen of the Quarter, and her rivalry with her arch-nemesis, Poodles Makenzie. After Minnie Bouvèé has Poodles Makenzie’s crew brutally slaughtered, she braces for the blowback; what she doesn’t expect, however, is to be stalked by a creepy masked figure who leaves behind bouquets of gardenias and terrifying notes. Is this Poodles’ revenge, or the work of Minnie’s estranged sister who stole her man years ago and has suddenly reappeared in her life?
Big Easy Queens is directed by Erynn Dalton, starring Miss Bouvèé, Benjamin Shaevitz, Jenifer McClain, Alexander Zenoz, Varla Jean Merman, and Matthew Darren. But this isn't Dalton's first rodeo. The director proudly proclaims. "Big Easy Queens is my second world premiere with Popcorn Frights, and I couldn't be more excited to be back with this amazing group of people! Our film is a campy, glam-horror musical starring drag queens, so big props go to the Popcorn Frights team for embracing our unique vision and supporting queer horror."
Now let's take a look at that exclusive trailer!
Catch the Big Easy Queens World Premiere at the ninth annual Popcorn Frights Film Festival in Fort Lauderdale on Friday, August 11th, with a second presentation on Saturday, August 12.
