Adonis Garcia : A Picturesque Novel by Luis Zapata (book, 1981) - Though this is described as a vampire novel 'vampire' is a term used to describe gay hustling, and does not mean the supernatural type (keep this in mind when you find this book listed on vampire sites whether they don't read the books) Against by Todd Verow (movie, 2001) - Supposedly about a drag queen in a haunted apartment. As near as I could tell, it was an 'artistic' movie about a drag queen going insane. No discernable plot, no ghosts, no horror content (run away!). Airscream by Bruce, John (book, 1978) - Appears to be a gay thriller about an airline distaster. Doesn't appear to really be horror, though it may fall into the dark thrillers category. Apt Pupil by Bryan Singer (movie, 1998 - from the book by Stephen King) - Thriller with no gay content other than a gay director and actor. The Best Man to Die by Rendell, Ruth (book, 1969) - A murder Mystery, not horror. The Black Chalice by Jakober, Marie (book) - While it is a book about female werewolves, there is no lesbian content. Black Sun (Die Schwarze Sonne) by Brehm, Dietmar (short movie, 1992, Austria) - Astraight sci-fi movie (short). Contains iffy 'trans' content.

The Blind Bow-Boy by Van Vechten, Carl (book, 1920s) - Unlikely to have horror content. Described as a 'sparkling' gay novel of the 1920s (when 'gay' meant something completely different) Blood Brothers by Michael Schiefelbein (book) - A book often written in vampire and gay sites. However, this contains no vampires and is not really horror. The Book of Skulls by Robert Silverberg (book) - This is really close, but it seems to be more sci-fi than horror. The Book of Skulls With a New Introduction by Silverberg, Robert (book, 1979) - no horror content The Brotherhood III: Young Demons, The by David DeCoteau (movie, 2002) - The produced by an openly gay director, there is no queer content. There is some homoerotic content due to a shower scene where a male showers provocatively in his underwear, but that's it. The Brotherhood IV: The Complex, The by David DeCoteau (movie, 2005) - Unfortunately this movie does have as much homoerotic content as the original 'The Brotherhood,' and has succubus content. But it is a few years too late for inclusion.. Since queer horror content is now common-place, and this has no queer characters, themes or plots, it was rejected. Caracole by White, Edmund (book) - no horror content The Castle (porn movie) by Otto Von Hosselburg - No horror or ghost content. German guys have sex in a castle.

Count Yorga, Vampire (movie) and Return of Count Yorga (movie, 1970 / 71) - Though written up somewhere as having minor lesbian content, none stood out.

Its historical fiction about some horrifying experiences: not a bad read but not a great one either: Faculty, The by Robert Rodriquez (1998, movie) - While this is a horror movie, there is no queer content.

Gayniggers from Outer Space by Morten Lindberg (movie, 1992) - A sci-fi comedy. No horror. Ginger Snaps (movie) by John Fawcett - A really good female werewolf movie that is highly recommended. However, it contains no lesbian content. There is a slight suggestion of sexual content between two sisters, but it was said to disturb, not to imply sexual desire. Again, if you like women werewolves, this is recommended. Gravedigger by Hansen,Joseph (book) - Mystery, not horror The Haunted Gay by Original Mask Reader (pulp novel) - heterosexual pulp (made when 'gay' meant something different). Hellbound in Leather (book) - No horror content, this is a tale of sex, drugs, and motorcycles Home Boy Hell (movie, 2001) - Gay porn that involves being cryogenically frozen, but no horror content.

The Lake of Darkness by Rendell, Ruth (book, 1981) - A mystery novel that might contain some horror elements Last House on the Left by Wes Cravel (movie, 1972) - A terrible movie focusing on the degradation, beating and rape of women. While there is woman-on-woman action, it is forced upon them to horrify them. There is a predatory woman watching it and copping a feel. However, its strained connection to the horror genre and its hatred of women make it not worthy of inclusion here. The Lives and Deaths of Roland Greer by Pyke, Richard (book, 1929) - A gay son in messed up household, no horror content. Living the Spirit by Roscoe, Will (book, 1988) - A gay American Indian anthology with no horror/ghost content.

Metamorphosis of the Vampire by Charles Baudelaire (poem) - Lesbian content claimed to exist is not apparent in any noticible way. Mime After Midnight by Armando D. Muñoz, (movie short, 2003) - Campy and horrific, but no queer content. Mrs. Porter's Letter by McConnell, Vicki P. - A lesbian mystery, no horror content. My Holy Satan : The Testament of Man a Novel of Christian Twilight by Vardis Fisher (book, 1960) - A historical novel tracing the roots of religion - no horror content. Nightbreed by Clive Barker (movie, 1990) - This was listed in Monster in the Closet as having gay overtones to it and a gay background character. Because no character identified him/herself as being gay and no love interest involved same sex couples, I didn't include this movie. At best it had a fairly cute guy and a character that delivered a campy line. Night of the Creeps by Fred Dekker (movie, 1986) - This was listed in a gay horror site as having an obvious relationship between a gay man and a straight man. While this was definitely a buddy flick, neither guy identified overtly or subvertly as gay.

There is a curse, but it only makes men want to have sex. The Possession of Amber by Jose, Nicholas (book, 1980) - no horror content Psycho Beach Party by Robert Lee King (movie, 2000) - though plenty of queer content and has a slasher, this is a bit too much of a comedy to be included as a thriller. The Queen of the Night by Behm, Marc (book, 1977) - A gay/trans Nazi story. Possibly horrific, but no horror. Queer Fear by Neville Corbett (pulp, 1970) A spy story, no horror content Queer Witch Project by Vivid (movie, 2000) - A collection of gay porn shorts. Other than a 5 minute short called 'Moan' which appears to be a gay porn take on the movie 'Scream', there is no horror content in this, and we can only assume the title was meant to mislead while playing off of the success of The Blair Witch Project. Reflecting Skin (movie, 1999) by Philip Ridley - If you like watching horrible things happen to horrid people under the guise of 'A beautiful but tragic slice of Americana', then this movie is for you. The only gay content is that a closeted bi man ends up killing himself because of the town's homophobia early in the film. Along the horror front, a woman is thought to be a vampire by a child, but isn't. Satanic Suck by J. W. Schooter (pulp novel, 1987) - In spite of the name and the cover (possibly the wrong story was put into the cover on printing?), this has no horror content.

The She-Wolf of France by Druon, Maurice (book, 1960) - A historical novel. No werewolf/horror content The Shortest Way to Hades by Caudwell, Sarah (book, 1985) - A murder mystery, not horror. Slumber Party Massacre by Amy Holden Jones (movie, 1982) - Supposedly the first feminist slasher movie made by a lesbian director. While it is unique in the focusing on women and women destroying the slasher without the help of males, it is still fairly objectifying of women. It does have some strong women who could be coded as being lesbian, or just strong women. Not overt enough lesbian coding for inclusion. Someone Bought the House on the Island by Kenneth Lynn Anderson (book, 1999) - Vampires are mentioned on the back cover, but they don't appear to have anything to do with the story Something Queer at the Scary Movie by Levy, Elizabeth Demco (book) - Childrens book.

No indication of same-sex interest exists. Urbania (movie) - a dark and confusing movie about a gay man seeking revenge. This is not horror, and also not a thriller (like it claims to be). At best, it is a gay vengeance fantasy film. Value of X, The by Poppy Z Brite (book, 2003) - Though this was written by Brite, who specializes in gay horror, this contains no horror content. Vampire, The by Charles Baudelaire (poem) - Written as containing lesbian content, none is aparent. Vampire's Honeymoon by Cornell Woolrich (book) - A short story collection; only the title story is vampiric. It is unlikely to have queer content.
