From outsiders and misunderstood characters to monsters, transformation, camp, and characters who reject the rules of “normal,” horror has a lot that resonates with LGBTQ+ audiences. In this video, we explore the connection between queer culture and horror, why the genre can feel especially meaningful to LGBTQ+ people, and how queer characters are increasingly becoming the heroes of their own horror stories.
Learn why horror resonates with LGBTQ+ audiences, how themes of otherness and transformation connect with queer experiences, and why LGBTQ+ characters deserve to be more than victims, villains, or side characters in horror.
