STOP SCROLLING!!
I’m doing a research paper thingy on how queerness and specifically the trans experience is reflected in or interacts with the horror genre (with a focus on body horror) (that was the most confusing way I’ve ever explained it oops sorry)
Anyway- While researching and constructing my thesis etc.. I became curious of other experiences that might be similar to mine- so if you feel like you could answer any of these questions please do!
have you ever experienced a kind of catharsis or feeling of acceptance/representation while watching movies with body horror? (or horror in general)
Do you find comfort in the transformative and/or destructive nature of body horror? How/why?
Is there a specific horror movie or trope that you feel extra connected to?
Is there a movie/character/trope in horror that you feel reflects your experience being trans?
And lastly just plug your favorite trans/queer horror movie (doesnt have to be explicitly queer and in fact subtextual and unintentional rep is encouraged)
Finally able to release my film independently after 6 months of waiting. If you're keen at all on animated horror, please give it a watch. And if you like horror film THEORY, there is a link to my article in the description about the theory behind the film.
If you dig the music, the socials of both my incredible musicians are in the description as well!
