I love horror and it hasn’t been until recently that I realized horror is inherently gay just by being horror. I love seeing the cross-section of identities and films and sexualities. I was a bit surprised Godzilla’s essay didn’t bring up their ambiguous gender, and that Nightmare on Elm Street: Freddy’s Revenge was not mentioned once, but I have a bunch of new horror movies to add to my list now!

Another theme that ran through these essays is the idea that when a queer person is villainized in horror, it's a reflection of the Othering occurring in our culture at large. I stopped in my tracks during Zefyr Lisowski's essay on ableism and The Ring when she said, "If there isn't a supremacist culture to view things through, does monstrosity even exist?" Though the version of ourselves that we see reflected on the screen is monstrous, it still feels important to have ourselves portrayed and our rage be recognized.
