It’s commonly accepted as fact that the horror genre has frequently portrayed queer individuals (along with women and minorities) in a less than flattering light, and it’s all too easy to see why: films like DRESSED TO KILL (1980) and SILENCE OF THE LAMBS (1991) depict transgender people as mentally-unstable murderers, while the bisexual bloodsuckers of VAMPYROS LESBOS (1971) and THE HUNGER (1983) exist solely for the titillation of the straight male viewer.
