The monsters are no longer in the closet! This week, Peaches and Michael dig into a “fearz” subgenre that’s near and dear to their hearts – QUEER HORROR!

Joining the conversation is acclaimed author Dr. Heather O. Petrocelli, whose life work has led to the definitive empirical study that links queer spectator ship and the horror genre. Then, celebrated author and playwright Sean Abley stops by to discussing penning one of the first “out” columns in Fangoria, as well as his years in the making work on a true encyclopedia of Queer Horror films. From Clive Barker’s bloodletting to the trans male fascination with werewolves and beyond, this episode has it all! GO!
