Seasons
Episodes
Season 1
Episode 1
Queer gothic writers Mary Shelley, Oscar Wilde and Bram Stoker invent the horror genre with "Frankenstein," "The Picture of Dorian Gray" and "Dracula"; when cinema arrives, queer director F.W. Murnau shocks the world with his queer-coded "Nosferatu."
Episode 2
Gay director James Whale makes four classics that pave the way for all Hollywood horror movies after, but his career was dimmed by anti-gay sentiment; Alfred Hitchcock uses queer characters and queer coded stories to keep audiences in suspense.
Episode 3
Werewolves, cat people, body-snatchers and doppelgängers are uniquely queer metaphors; from the classic "The Wolf Man" to queer-authored "Cat People," the monsters of the 1940s express shame and seek to rid themselves of the secret self.
Episode 4
The dangerous queer woman has been terrorizing horror audiences since before the dawn of cinema; the lesbian vampire sucks the lifeblood from women and men alike in the gothic novella "Carmilla" and films like "Dracula's Daughter."
