Stay away from the wine because we, along with celebrated queer author David Demchuk, are covering our first Val Lewton film: The Seventh Victim ( 1943). The HEAVILY queer coded text is a nice alternative to our Universal Monster films, though we recommend having a comedy for when you finish because this movie is grim and nihilistic! Also, should we become Satanists? Because the Palladists don't s...
