This week, the Horror Movie Syllabus looks at Gay Slashers! These movies follow the familiar tropes of the Slasher subgenre but with a LBGTQ twist! Professor Victor examines some noteworthy and quality movies that exemplify the niche sub-subgenre, along with some “extra credit” movies that are worth your time!

The Doctorate level of the Horror Movie Syllabus continues as we revisit the LGBT+ subgenre video and present a fourth, Doctorate level selection! This new addition to the Syllabus manages to make a statement while simultaneously delivering the shivers!

Representation of LGBT+ people in horror has historically not been the most favourable, but in this video the Horror Movie Syllabus explores some noteworthy horror films that take on LGBT+ themes. While the portrayals and presentation might not always be progressive, there is value in looking at these movies and discussing their merit—and Professor Victor does just that. He’ll also present some “extra credit” movies that touch on LGBT+ themes.
