Episode 3:3 is here and it is dusty as sheeeeiiitttt. These films are so old - they actually pre-date "talkies!" That's right - they're silent. But they are oh so juicy, my friends. Truly and deeply, these films were a delight to watch and discuss. We start with what most consider to be the FIRST HORROR FILM, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, directed by Robert Wiene and pair it with, Salomé, directed by Charles Bryant (starring and produced by the mother of sapphic Hollywood, Alla Nazimova)
..........
Join us as we discuss the beginnings of this iconic genre. We delve into the campy queerness lurking around every corner, the influence these films have had on history, and what we learned from the icons we owe so much to.

More than ever, it's time to say: GAY! Horror and queerness are deeply intertwined. The genre beautifully and naturally maps the LGBTQ+ experience, using monsters, body horror, and themes of “the other” to explore marginalization, hidden identities, and the fear of society’s rejection.
..........
In this special Bonus Episode, we discuss 1) Our favorite queer character in horror, 2) Our favorite film directed or written by someone queer, and 3) Our favorite queer-coded moment in horror.
..........
From the days of coding and subtext to loud and proud gayos, we are truly honored to share some of our favorite pieces of it with you 💖

Queerness and horror are intertwined at the chromosomes. From symbolic monsters to sapphic vampires, queers have always found their voice in this genre. These two films run the sapphic spectrum of mysterious curses, giant evil cats, cages, and all out campy panic. Come explore this fascinating corner of cinema with two true blue queer horror fans!

Say your prayers, cuz it’s time to dance with the devil! RELIGIOUS HORROR! Tonight we’re covering The Exorcist (1973) directed by: William Friedkin, along with The First Omen (2024) co-written/directed by: Arkasha Stevenson. No biggie right?
..........
Demonic possession and creepy nunneries are only the jumping off point. Women’s bodies, sexual purity, agency, and faith crises combine in both these films to create stories that speak to some of the most sacred and complicated parts of our lives. I mean, we’re talking about The Exorcist, what more can I say than it’s the greatest horror movie ever made? Get your holy water ready, because its time for church!
