MONSTERZERO NJ’S 12 LGBTQIA+ HORRORS FOR PRIDE MONTH!

Colin Minihan’s What Keeps You Alive, pits spouse against spouse

Its Pride Month and MonsterZero NJ’s Movie Madhouse commemorates by focusing on twelve—plus three noteworthy bonus titles—horrors with LGBTQIA+ themes or main characters. Horror is a genre with something for everyone and was one of the first to embrace LGBTQIA+ content into its stories, as far back as 1936, when it was still considered taboo! Enjoy! – MZNJ

**************************************************

Worth highlighting all on its own is Hammer Horror’s groundbreaking Karnstein Trilogy, three vampire flicks which featured openly lesbian themes at a time when it was bold to do so!

**************************************************

The Rocky Horror Picture Show’s Frank N Furter, a groundbreaking LGBTQIA+ main character!

And who could talk women in horror without evoking the name of the late Debra Hill, who produced (and frequently co-wrote) a number of John Carpenter’s classic films, including horrors such as Halloween (and a number of it’s sequels), The Fog and produced David Cronenberg’s The Dead Zone. A true pioneer producer/writer in the horror genre! We lost Debra to cancer in 2005, but she has left a legacy of film that will live on!
