Halloween. Queer Christmas.
If you’re looking Halloween movies to watch – either solo or with your boo (or with a boo) – we’ve gotchu covered.
Why do LGBTQs love Halloween so much?? Maybe it’s the chance to dress up, the chance to dress slutty, the *jazz hands* theatrics of it all, or maybe it’s the movies…
From Hocus Pocus to Scream, comedies to horrors – many of our most beloved and iconic characters in cinema come from titles synonymous with Halloween.
Here’s a rundown (as voted for by the ItsLitGayShit audience) of the top LGBT-themed or LGBT-loved movies to watch this spooky season. It’s a rolling list, so if we missed off your favourite, drop it in the comments and we’ll add some.
