<p>I used my own knowledge of lgbt horror + scoured multiple corners of the internet to compile this list, and am attempting to make it a comprehensive one. </p><p>which means it will include anything from subtextual: homoeroticism, gender ambiguity & nonconformity, lgbt allegories, queercoding & hays code censorship, etc, <br />to textual: explicit homosexual acts, openly lgbt character(s), wears a rainbow on its sleeve, etc, and keep in mind not all of it will be positive portrayals of the community, in fact a not insignificant number of these are negative or bigoted, but I think it’s important to include them.</p><p>being that I haven’t seen every movie listed here I can’t always attest to the quality or quantity of lgbt content or lack thereof, this <strong>isn’t</strong> a recommendations list (<b><a href="https://boxd.it/96l9M" rel="nofollow">I have a separate list for that</a></b>), but rather a frame of reference for others, and a passion project for myself. </p><p><i><b>tldr: you can use this as a guide, but I’d recommend you still do your own research. <br /></b></i><br />if you have objections to a movie being included in this list you are welcome to explain why in the comments as long as you are <b>respectful</b> and <b>informative </b>(so tell me why you think that), <br />rude and/or unproductive comments will be deleted. </p><p>I am not interested in debating what counts as horror and what doesn't, and comments of the sort will also be deleted.</p><p>if upon (re)watching I find that a movie on this list doesn't have anything lgbt in it I will remove it.</p><p>(slow work in progress, but check notes for content warnings.)</p>

<p>A list of queer horror movies I’ve watched. There has to be an explicitly queer character(s). It cannot be homophobic / transphobic / misogynistic, etc. Definitely taking suggestions. This list also includes shorts and miniseries.<br />While I appreciate queer subtext in movies, there are plenty of lists out there which fulfill that need. <br /> I am updating the list regularly. If you check the list view, each movie contains a note with a description of why it's on the list and any content warnings. You can find the watchlist <a href="https://letterboxd.com/nerdy_ninja/list/queer-horror-watchlist/" rel="nofollow">here</a>.</p><p>Representation matters.</p><p>Ranking is according to my enjoyment which, changes regularly.</p>
<p>The best of LGBTQ+ films from all over the world throughout history. <br />Feel free to recommend more films I should add to the list. :P</p>
<p>i’m not talking about a movie where a gay is just a little side dish with a few good lines and a death scene. i’m talking about movies where someone who is lgbtqia+ (title as is because I love me some alliteration) is integral to the overall plot.</p><p>and listen, i’m not talking about “possibly gay” or “gay adjacent” or “well, it’s never specified but surely they are”, i’m talking about 100% unashamed lgbtqia+ goodness because <b>we are beautiful.</b></p><p>suggestions welcome obvs because i want a good list but don’t want to put work into making it. 🏳️🌈 🏳️🌈 🏳️🌈</p>
