MOVIES ARE GAY all month long and how could we go through Mondays of classic cinema subtext without another selection from the one and only James Whale? This 1932 film was very underrated in its time and fairly lost until it was risen from the grave for a new appreciation by modern cinephiles and James Whale fandom. “THE OLD DARK HOUSE” seems to lampoon tropes as it appears to create them. Genuinely unsettling and strangely comical, this film features a group of strangers stranded in a storm that have to contend with the dangerous legacy of a mansion’s inhabitants. It stars Boris Karloff, Gloria Stuart, Charles Laughton (gay) and Ernest Thesiger (very gay) and it’s all directed by the iconic pioneer in queer film history, James Whale (super queen supreme). Will these guests survive the turmoil of the Old Dark House? Perhaps they will come out of the closet? Not Horace. He’s never been anywhere near a closet. God bless him. God bless this family.
