Queer for Fear
From executive producers Bryan Fuller (HANNIBAL) and Steak House (THE MUSTANG), QUEER FOR FEAR is a docuseries about the history of the LGBTQ+ community in the horror and thriller genres. QUEER FOR FEAR explores the topic from its literary origins with queer authors Mary Shelley, Bram Stoker, and Oscar Wilde to Universal Monsters and Hitchcock; from the "lavender scare" alien invasion films of the mid-20th century to the unabating dangerous queer women inspired by Sheridan Le Fanu’s Carmilla. QUEER FOR FEAR re-examines genre stories through a queer lens, seeing them not as violent, murderous narratives, but as tales of survival that resonate thematically with queer audiences everywhere. A SHUDDER ORIGINAL SERIES.

I like that
as a queer person this was an amazing series. i loved it. horror is a genre which speaks to queer people and its amaizng to have that history put so succinctly
I require more seasons to survive. 💀 Seriously though, I adored this in its entirety and will absolutely watch again with friends as many times as I need to. I love talking about and researching topics like this and watching it was even better than I thought it would be.
MORE original doc-series like this please!!! Also, LOVE the dedication to lifting queer voices in the horror/fantasy genre. :)
