Queer for Fear
From executive producers Bryan Fuller (HANNIBAL) and Steak House (THE MUSTANG), QUEER FOR FEAR is a docuseries about the history of the LGBTQ+ community in the horror and thriller genres. QUEER FOR FEAR explores the topic from its literary origins with queer authors Mary Shelley, Bram Stoker, and Oscar Wilde to Universal Monsters and Hitchcock; from the "lavender scare" alien invasion films of the mid-20th century to the unabating dangerous queer women inspired by Sheridan Le Fanu’s Carmilla. QUEER FOR FEAR re-examines genre stories through a queer lens, seeing them not as violent, murderous narratives, but as tales of survival that resonate thematically with queer audiences everywhere. A SHUDDER ORIGINAL SERIES.

Not for me
Astounding, profoundly enlightening and informative. Essential to watch and thoroughly engaging, Shudder please do more!
As a gay man i cant say i felt this series was really necessary . We are people whos perspectives will of course be different to straight people on certain things, how it would be different in horror Im not sure, i dont see why it would be. "How tales of survival resonate with the LGBT community". I think survival is something every human can reaonate with, especially in the context of a monster or killer on the loose.
