Scream, Queen!

We’re queering the scariest month of the year with SCREAM, QUEEN!, a four-film series celebrating the myriad forms of queer horror. Tracing the legacy of the genre through multiple decades, we bring to the big screen an early Hollywood creature feature, an ’80s practical effects gore-fest, a grimy ’90s anti-capitalist environmental horror, and the ballerina bloodbath that continues to thrill midnight moviegoers nearly half a century after its release.
