Happy Halloween folks!
With one of our favorite holidays on the horizon, we’ve decided to bust out our favorite queer screamers for a rewatch. We mean movies, not actually queer people screaming. We have enough of that in these times…
Anyway, last year we composed a screening list of sexy & scary must-see films. This year we’ve given that list an update to include even more LGBTQ H-O-R-R-O-R. Grab the popcorn and witch’s brew, and curl up on the couch. Dates are optional but encouraged.

If you liked “The Haunting” check out the book by Shirley Jackson. Even better.

Shirley Jackson is so overlooked in the genre of suspense/terror

Solid list, Queerty! For years I assumed gay cinephiles were overplaying the Nightmare on Elm Street 2 homoeroticism but I finally watched it and there is No. Other. possible reading for that film.
Elvira is my favorite from the above but the Hunger is high art and Covenant is a guilty pleasure.

Why the hell are they ashamed to put Elvira on this list?!? Halloween is all about camp and Elvira is the queen of Halloween ?

Did you just skip straight to Post a Comment? Elvira is on the list.

@JPDonahue…Did you not read the blurb beneath the photo? A direct quote: we only feel slightly ashamed to include it here. Just slightly.

I saw Freddy 2 when it was out with my best friend. I remember being upset that the heroine wasn’t that really cute to me. and I remember being unsettled in that whistle-walk, “No, I’m not gay” way.

It’s worth mentioning that David Bowie is also in “The Hunger.”
I watched “Frankenstein: The True Story” awhile back and quite enjoyed it. It’s not faithful to the Shelley novel, but it has more elements from it than I’ve seen in any other Frankenstein movie.

Dracula’s Daughter is my favorite of the sequels from the famous Count. Gloria Holden is so perfect in the role. Not mentioned was Curse of the Demon. If you can, watch the original version. What you don’t see can be really scary!
