Horror Movies With Gay Subtext

Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge

Psycho.

*snigger* The Covenant (was that a horror film? I just kept watching waiting for the "angry wanking" sex scene that never materialised) and *definitely* Jeepers Creepers 2.

The Shining.

If they can make a hilarious feature-length documentary on how it's really about the faked moon landings, we should be able to find a gay subtext in there somewhere.

Terror Train

Checking in from the great studio in the sky, bitches!

Jeepers Creepers 2 owns this thread.

The Old Dark House

Sleepaway Camp owns this thread. Haute Tension has a lesbian twist.

The original "Fright Night"

Seconds. Rock Hudson's best performance.

All of them.

Seconds is awesome

Witchboard

Christine

Interview with the Vampire

Scream

Dance of the Vampires

The Seventh Victim

In Interview With the Vampire there's a scene where Antonio Banderas and Brad Pitt look like they're about to make out

[quote]*snigger* The Covenant (was that a horror film?

Supernatural thriller more so, I would think. I recorded this the other day for DL Fave Sebastian Stan. I've never seen it before, but I remember when it came out. My friend was [italic]obsessed[/italic] with it and it's hilarious to me that he went from a mess like this to Marvel fame. I can't wait!

God, Sebastian Stan is *perfection*. Rawr.

Rosemary´s Gayby

Any David DeCoteau film

Christine? How so?

Christine, yes. How crazy somebody else noticed the gay subtext of this film.

I just watched this and I could have sworn the two male lead characters, Arnie and Dennis were in love. I actually just googled "Christine movie and gay subtext" and "Christine movie and gay relationship" to see if any film buff out there analyzed the gay subtext of this film.

The way Arnie and Dennis spoke to each other, "you're not ugly", "queer maybe", "now that we're seniors, I think it's time", The love song Dennis listened to as he was driving away jealous and concerned about Arnie's new car: "where did our love go wrong" was a lyric -- or close to it.

The longing stares between each other, how soft they spoke to each other, how protective Dennis was of Arnie. The jealousy Dennis had for any girl that came betwen he and Arnie. Just watch this film and you'll see.

Christine holds up too. It's a great horror film. John Carpenter is amazing. His films truly stand the test of time.

Talking of Christine, John Stockwell was so fuckable when he was younger. The amount of fantasies I had of Keith Gordon bending him over the hood of that Plymouth Fury.,,

Yes, John Stockwell was hot indeed.

"Love means never having to say you're ugly" was a take-off on the recently-released Ryan O'Neil/Ally MacGraw LOVE STORY tag-line: "Love means never having to say you're sorry." When Vinnie isn't chewing the scenery, he's mincing through it with Phibesian aplomb.

Definitely the origimal fright night. They totally de-gayed the remake.

The original The Hitcher, starring the highly lickable C. Thomas Howell. Roger Ebert said it was a movie about gay S&M.

Interview with the Vampire was about gay vampires so that's not subtext.

The Lost Boys, Ravenous (and the original 70's Dawn of The Dead which clearly had something going on between Peter and Roger)

Great

Interview with the Vampire, gay in every way except SEX

R16 here it is.

Banderas’ Armand in IWTV steals the film. Strictly-speaking and according to the text, he’s totally miscast (he’s meant to be a cherubic redhead twink of Slav origin), but Antonio brings so much intensity and charisma that it doesn’t even matter and he ends up making the role better.

fuck off r31

Armand has my favorite line in the IWTV. As line-reads go, it is exquisitely delivered.

[quote] I know nothing of God. (beat) Or the Devil. I have never seen a vision, nor learned a secret, that would damn or save my soul. And as far as I know, after four hundred years, I am the oldest, living vampire in the world.

R16 THE LOST BOYS, every day and twice on Sundays. It is a gay fever dream.

I mean, sexy sweaty leather biker men stalking and biting each other in the night? Sexy Saxman as seen in Tina Turner lives? ‘People Are Strange’? Carnivále? The female desire object dressed like Stevie Nicks? Dianne Wiest is our mother? Corey Haim wearing dayglo and a duster?
