[HORROR QUEERS] GAYG UP THE BIGGT HORROR FRANCHISE OF THE 90S WH ‘SCREAM’!
Manny is an openly gay and loyal kid who is often the smartt person the room. 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.
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).
