With spooky season just around the corner, why wait for Halloween to start the celebration? Get into the eerie spirit early with a queer horror movie marathon!
While queerness has always been embedded in the horror genre — after all, we helped shape it — openly queer characters, stories, and themes haven’t always been center stage. Thankfully, recent films like Fear Street, So Vam, and the new Hellraiser reboot are changing that, bringing queer representation to the forefront. Gone are the days of subtle subtext; now, we can cheer for our favorite final girls, gays, and nonbinary heroes.
In short, it's a fantastic time to be a queer horror fan. Not sure where to begin? No worries—here are 27 modern queer-inclusive horror films that are streaming now.
