Horror has a long and layered queer history, going all the way back to James Whale’s films for Universal Studios, including Bride of Frankenstein, That Old Dark House, and The Invisible Man. More recent examples include Jennifer’s Body, Let the Right One In, and A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge, which has found a new audience thanks to its obvious queer themes.
In honor of Pride Month, I wanted to share two articles. One examines Anthony Perkins’ life in the context of Psycho II and its 40-year anniversary this month. You can read that by clicking here. The second article is a list of five queer horror classics to stream during Pride Month, and you can click that here.
Happy Pride!
