Queer for Fear: The History of Queer Horror (2022)

Episode Overview

Title: Episode 3 Plot: In this episode, we explore the fascinating symbolism of werewolves, cat people, body-snatchers, and doppelgängers as representations of queer identity. From the iconic "The Wolf Man" to the queer-centric "Cat People," the monsters of the 1940s embody the struggle with internalized shame and the desire to escape their hidden selves. Through these fantastical beings, the narrative delves into the complexities of self-acceptance and the fight against societal expectations.
