* scream queens gay moments *

He created ScreamQueenz: Where Horror Gets Gay July of 2010 and has been makg the world a more fabuloly creepy place every sce. Queer Aspect: Billy (Skeet Ulrich) and Stu (Matthew Lillard) are secret gay lovers. Not only is wrten by genre horror vet – and notable “out” gay man – Kev Williamson, featur one of the most vert queer bro-manc of the 90s the form of killers Billy and Stu.

[HORROR QUEERS] GAYG UP THE BIGGT HORROR FRANCHISE OF THE 90S WH ‘SCREAM’!

After Joshua Cross (of Toronto’s Queer Fear fame) schled , I hopped onle to do some rearch and ed this observatn has been ma several tim, most notably the third chapter of Michael DeAngelis’ Readg the bromance: Homosocial relatnships film and televisn. 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. Also, Stu playg wh Randy (Jamie Kennedy)’s earlobe the vio store is a ltle, well, gay. This was veloped after years of beg picked on and beg ma fun of for beg effemate, even before I knew I was gay.

You n image how cshed I was when, after years of fendg myself to bulli and sayg that I wasn’t gay, I realized that I was. I thk one of the reasons that Scream is so beloved by the gay muny (do lbians love as much as the gay boys? What distguish both Jigsaw and Ghostface is how verbal they are (which – as we nsired back our Freddy’s Revenge post om late last year – is also why Freddy tends to be a favoure of l gays).
