KapyKompass's LGBTQ+ Horror Cavalcade: 10 Movies for Halloween

KapyKompass's Horror Compass: Chilling Moments of LGBTQ+ Movies

As Halloween approaches, horror movie lovers gather around the world. What's better than an adrenaline rush caused by good excitement? The captain of KapyKompass has chosen a special list for you, which focuses on LGBTQ+ themed horror movies. But why, you might ask? Well, because Horror movies are often much more than just monsters and gore. They reflect our deepest fears, our taboos and sometimes even the inequality of our society. Horror films that feature LGBTQ+ themes bring many of these challenges to light - and make it terrifyingly entertaining at the same time.

1. The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) - Cute Capybara : Classic. Not necessarily scary in the traditional sense of the word, but it offers so much more. The core of the film is about freedom, love and acceptance - things that the LGBTQ+ community has fought for throughout the ages. And what could be better than doing it with song and dance?

2. A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge (1985) - Night Capybara : The first sequel in the series brings out gay erotic themes in a way that was quite rare at the time. The main character's internal struggle with his gender and identity is juxtaposed with the horror and mayhem unleashed by Freddy Krueger, making the film much more than just another slasher film.

3. Let The Right One In (2008) - Cute Capybara : Although the film focuses more on supernatural friendship and horror, it does not ignore LGBTQ+ themes. One of the film's central characters is gender non-deterministic, and his loneliness and need to be understood resonates with the experiences of many LGBTQ+ people.

4. Thelma (2017) - Night Capybara : At the heart of the film is the sexual awakening of a young woman and the simultaneous awakening of her supernatural powers. It is a metaphor for how strongly society can react and fear when someone begins to understand and accept their own sexual identity.

5. The Babadook (2014) - Nocturnal Capybara : What makes The Babadook so special is how the monster is derived from societal pressures and rejection. It serves as a metaphor for many LGBTQ+ people who feel left out or rejected. The Babadook becoming an LGBTQ+ icon on the internet is proof of how important it is to see and recognize our different fears and challenges.

6. Raw (2016) - Nocturnal Capybara : This French horror film depicts a young woman's awakening both sexually and cannibalistically. Although it does not directly focus on LGBTQ+ themes, the film breaks several gender taboos and explores the limits that society places on women.

7. Stranger by the Lake (2013) - Cute Capybara : This French thriller takes place on a gay nudist beach where a series of strange deaths occur. It combines sexual tension with horror in a way that makes the viewer reflect on their own desires and fears.

8. High Tension (2003) - Nocturnal Capybara : In the film, friends find themselves in the midst of horror in a holiday apartment, but LGBTQ+ themes emerge through the dynamics of friendship and hatred. It depicts a brutal picture of jealousy and love.

9. Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (1997) - The Cute Capybara : While this isn't a traditional horror film, its mysteries, suspense, and LGBTQ+ themes make it a perfect Halloween viewing experience.

10. Carmilla (2019) - Cute Capybara : This gothic horror film is based on a classic short story and tells the story of a forbidden love between two women. It is both beautiful and terrifying at the same time.

Horror films are often a mirror that reflects society's fears and taboos. Horror movies with LGBTQ+ themes are no exception. They offer an in-depth and often poignant look at the experiences of the LGBTQ+ community. Halloween is the perfect time to dive into these stories - so get ready for an exciting movie night with KapyKompass recommendations.
