People Under The Scares

This week, we're celebrating queer horror while also putting the genre on notice. We're talking queer-coded icons, LGBTQ+ characters we love, the tropes we're ready to kill off, and what we'd love to see more of in the future. Whether it's more queer final survivors, better villains, or just letting us make it to the end credits, we're sharing our ultimate queer horror wish...

We go over the definitions in the beginning if you are a little confused. Keep in mind th...
