Javier Parra returns with a second installment of "Scream Queer," his successful review of the history of horror and fantasy cinema from an LGBTQ+ perspective.
An unwritten rule of horror cinema is that if the first installment works, prepare for a sequel. Three years after Scream Queer: LGBTQ+ representation in horror cinema, Javier Parra is back to open up. Again.
In addition to delving into ghosting, toxic relationships, and other horrors of adult life, in the pages of Scream Queer 2: The Revenge you'll find a fresh look at cult films (from What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? to Killer Candy); the vindication of filmmakers who are part of the queer spectrum (Curtis Harrington, Frank Henenlotter, and many others); and a revisiting of cinematic artifacts that teeter on the fringes of the fantastic.
Forgotten classic monsters return, along with the musings surrounding The Possession of Zulawski, the Cenobites of the Hellraiser saga, and more current reinterpretations of the New Flesh. Horny aliens and tentacle-like creatures share space with perverse noir, psychological dramas that will plunge you into misery, arty porn that aspires to be fantastical, and a host of offerings from yesterday and today praised by the LGBTQIA+ community.
