New Queer Horror Film and Television
University of Wales Press (Verlag)
978-1-78683-626-7 (ISBN)
This anthology comprises essays that study the form, aesthetics and representations of LGBTQ+ identities in an emerging sub-genre of film and television that we term 'New Queer Horror.' New Queer Horror designates horror that is crafted by directors/producers who identify as gay, bi, queer or transgendered, or works that feature homoerotic or explicitly homosexual narratives with 'out' LGBTQ+ characters. Unlike other studies, this anthology argues that New Queer Horror projects contemporary anxieties within LGBTQ+ subcultures onto its characters and into its narratives, building upon the previously figurative role of Queer monstrosity in the moving image. New Queer Horror thus highlights the limits of a metaphorical understanding of queerness in the horror film in an age where its presence has become more unambiguous. Ultimately, this anthology aims to show that 'New Queer Horror' has in recent years turned the focus of fear on itself, on its own communities and subcultures.
Darren Elliott-Smith is senior lecturer in film and gender studies at the University of Stirling. John Edgar Browning is professor of liberal arts at the Savannah College of Art and Design.
