Why Are Horror Movies So Gay?
Horror has always been more than just jump scares and monsters. For many queer people, it’s been a place to see themselves, to find power in what others call “monstrous,” and to turn fear into freedom.
From the queer-coded villains of early cinema to the unapologetically queer characters leading horror today, the genre has long reflected the communities fears, desires and resilience.
As queerness moves further into the mainstream, we’re left asking: has horror lost its radical edge, or simply evolved with us?
