I’m starting to get into horror movies now that I’ve been playing dead by daylight. I would love a list of queer horror films to check out
Not the best person to ask this because I haven't seen too many, but to name a few.
A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge is extremely homoerotic, huge queer overtones in this film and the main actor is gay. The film itself is not the greatest but it is entertaining.
Interesting enough, the later Chucky films getting into dipping into Queer representation. Starting with Bride of Chucky, where there is a Queer character and Seed of Chucky exploring the doll questioning their gender identity, this one I feel stirs a bit into a problematic tropey thing but it is there. The series is really goofy though, it isn't for everyone.
Interview with the Vampire, Tom Cruises and Brad Pitts relationship basically make this a queer horror. You see a young Kirsten Dunst and I found her pretty phenomenal for a child actor in this.
Fright Night, Vampire moves in next door to a teenager basically pretending to be a gay couple with the servant they have. There's also quite a few Queer actors in this film that I did not know about before refreshing myself on what Queer oriented films I have seen. This movie is pretty cheesy and fun, though. Apparently the second one is even campier, but I have not seen it.
Now, The Ritual itself is not Queer Horror but the director Carter Smith is and it is pretty good, more recently the director has started delving into making Queer Horror though with an episode in Hulu series "Into the Dark" - Midnight Kiss, it was pretty decent, nothing too amazing about it, though. This directors next film is called Swallowed, so I am personally keeping an eye out for that. Lol.
Also if you liked podcasts there is one called Horror Queers and they're big on horror in general and exploring if the movies themselves have any Queer under/overtones.
