This Pride Month, Girl Horror heads into the dark to ask a simple question: why do queer people love horror?
In this On The Fly episode, we explore why queer audiences have repeatedly found themselves reflected in the monster - not because queerness is monstrous, but because both have historically occupied the margins of society.
Drawing on films including Jennifer's Body, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and I Saw the TV Glow, this episode traces the deep relationship between horror and queer identity. Together, we'll ask what horror can teach us about becoming ourselves in a world that often fears difference.
