Why Is Horror the Gayest Genre?
Why do queer people love horror so much? Lesbian vampires, forbidden desire, two men making a baby… this genre has some explaining to do.
Cinema researcher Tamar Hanstke joins us to unpack queer horror, from 'Frankenstein' and 'The Vampire Lovers' to 'Jennifer’s Body' and 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show'. We’re talking LGBTQ+ representation, queer subtext, camp, and the suspiciously thin line between a monster and a gay icon.
How did a genre that made us the monsters become our comfort watch? Grab your emotional support horror movie. We’re getting into it.
