He created ScreamQueenz: Where Horror Gets Gay July of 2010 and has been makg the world a more fabuloly creepy place every sce.

There’s a heavy dose of homoeroticism the way that the pair teract throughout the film, and most particularly the climax, when Stu hangs off Billy and the pair stab each other wh their phallic weapons (kniv = penis for those the back).
But this also overlooks key intifiers about Billy: his unhealthy obssive relatnship wh his mother’s love (Oedipal to say the least and very much a gay trope). Throw his smetic stume stylg ak to queer in Jam Dean Rebel Whout A Cse and Billy’s Norman Bat reference when he outs himself as the killer to Sidney (Psycho tends to skew queer due to Norman’s relatnship to his mother and bee he is played by closeted – at the time – queer actor Anthony Perks) and you’ve got a lany of gay associatns. Even if you don’t read that way (and to be clear: ’s totally fe if you don’t), you n’t ny that there is some fe homoeroticism peppered throughout their scen together.
