Sex-Horror

It's time we sat you down and gave you a talk about the birds and the bees. From horror's formative years through to now, we're investigating how sexuality defines the genre. Sex in horror has a long history of puritanism, but we also look at the ways it can be liberating, strange and celebratory.

Includes discussions of The Exit 8 (video game, 2023), Tender Is the Flesh (novel, 2017), Cat People (1942), Hollywood 90028 (1973), The Beast (1975), Hellraiser (1987), The Lair of the White Worm (1988), Stranger by the Lake (2011), The Untamed (2016), Bone Lake (2024) and more.
