this is my hole it was made for me

This was such a wonderful little look at all the intersections between horror and queer people. The genre is deeply rooted in queer allegory so it was so great to see so many queer horror icons explaining that. They touch on so many incredible movies, some I’ve seen and some went on my watch list! This is a very well done 4 part doc series, it’s such a shame that it’s stuck on AMC+ which nobody has. Specific shoutout to that queen that showed up to her interview in werewolf drag! I’m right on the edge of starting spooky season!

As someone who is a gay male myself and also someone who grew up watching and absolutely loving horror films and anything horror related i’ve got to say that this was such a good little short 4 part series to sit through and binge watch i just loved seeing so many different queer actors & actresses as well as queer authors & directors speak on the history of queer people in the horror genre and the many different issues that they had to go through during their those times were being seen as a homosexual wasn’t highly acceptable and was seen as a mere mental illness that needed to be cured which absolutely breaks my heart because the horror genre belongs to the queer community and i don’t care what anyone says because seeing them talk about all my favorite films and all the little queercoding in them was so interesting to me because as a gay person you always tend to pick up on these type of things even though it isn’t actually stated or mentioned in those films that you grew to love and i’ve got to say that sure there’s some queer horror films out there but we desperately need to get into those studios and start releasing some horror films that are centered around a queer cast because that’s something that i need like where’s my fucking gay slasher film? anyways i totally recommend anyone who’s queer and enjoys horror just as much as i do to definitely give this a watch! 💗

“The main thing about horror was that it was exciting to get scared. There was an honesty to it. Because I was responding to how my body felt … kinda like porn.”

This was utterly fascinating. It put words to things I think I’ve always known, but never been able to articulate before. It gave me context where I previously had none. It gave me a new lens with which to view classic horror films through, and it added several dozen movies to my ever-growing watchlist. I learned so much! 

It was rough to start, particularly in the first episode, but the second and fourth installments in particular were fantastic. I was so impressed with the talent that Bryan Fuller was able to pull together to discuss the history of queer horror, and the wealth of knowledge they all had to share. This series definitely filled a hole in LGBT and horror history, and I truly hope we get to see more content like this in the future.
