Hands down, one of the best parts of Halloween time is the proliferation of scary movies. And one of the best parts of scary movies is the trope (or commentary thereupon) of the beautiful, chaste woman who makes it out alive. But not before she is tortured mercilessly and practices her most authentic vocal reaction to all the horrors being inflicted around her!
We queers love Halloween time, and we love a Scream Queen. From Jamie Lee Curtis to Neve Campbell, we celebrate the tremendous impact these characters have had on our young queer lives when we found ourselves surviving our own everyday horrors in the world and eventually finding our voices.
So for this one night only, our LGBTQIA+ film "professors" will be sharing their favorite scary movie queens and discussing the influence they had on the genre, on cinema, and on their own little queer hearts.
Grab your best Carrie and join us at the Highball for a fun night of queer joy, with just a tiny bit of screams and scares to spice it up!
