"Although it might feel like the history of queer horror has already been long, we are, in many ways, only at the beginning of what's possible for the genre. Whether we're remixing old tropes in new ways, further blurring the boundaries between genres, or infusing classic tales with trans meanings, horror has so much more left to say about a world that feels increasingly horrific.
That's why Them maintains this running, nearly century-long list of remarkable horror movies spanning from 1932 to 2025, highlighting the thrilling and sometimes painful trajectory of LGBTQ+ representation in genre cinema. Not all of us are fans of every entry on this list, and some choices are bound to be controversial, but we believe it includes much of the finest horror cinema has to offer. Watch them all if you dare" (Allen, 2025).
