Friend of the Gutter Sara Century looks at queen women in horror. “While modern horror films are more likely to feature queer women—and not just lesbian vampires—than early films in the genre, they still often frame queerness as taboo. Even these days onscreen, lesbians have something different about them, they’re set off from the rest of the characters by their sexuality. Just like the Dracula’s countess, filmmakers still set up queer women to give us that ‘weird feeling.'”
