Javier Parra returns with a second installment of 'Scream Queer', his successful overview of the history of horror and fantasy cinema from an LGTBIQ+ perspective.
An unwritten rule of horror cinema is that if the first part works, get ready for the sequel. Three years after Scream Queer. La representación LGTBIQ+ en el cine de terror, Javier Parra is back to open himself up again. Once more.
Besides delving into ghosting, toxic relationships, and other horrors of adult life, in the pages of Scream Queer 2. La venganza you will find a new review of cult films (from What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? to Killer Candy); the recognition of filmmakers who are part of the queer spectrum (Curtis Harrington, Frank Henenlotter, and many others); and the examination of cinematic works that move on the edges of the fantastic.
Forgotten classic monsters return, musings around Zulawski’s Possession, the cenobites from the Hellraiser saga, and the most current reinterpretations of New Flesh. Horny aliens and tentacled creatures share space with a perversely styled noir cinema, psychological dramas that will drag you into misery, arty porn that wants to be fantastique, and a bunch of past and present proposals praised by the LGTBIQA+ community.
