Shudder has today released the key art for "Queer for Fear," a four-part docu-series about the history of queer people in the thriller genre.
The key art features Alaska Thunderfuck (winner of "RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars" Season 2) photographed by Tayo Kuku Jr. You can check it out below.
From executive producers Bryan Fuller ("Hannibal", "Pushing Daisies") and Steak House ("Launchpad", The Mustang), "Queer for Fear" will debut in Fall 2022 on Shudder and via the Shudder offering within the AMC+ bundle.
"Queer for Fear" is a four-part documentary series about the history of the LGBTQ+ community in the horror and thriller genres. From its literary origins with queer authors Mary Shelley, Bram Stoker, and Oscar Wilde to the pansy craze of the 1920s that influenced Universal Monsters and Hitchcock, through the "lavender scare" alien invasion films of the mid-20th century and the AIDS obsessed bloodletting of 80s vampire films, "Queer for Fear" re-examines genre stories through a queer lens, seeing them not as violent, murderous narratives, but as tales of survival that resonate thematically with queer audiences everywhere.
The docu-series features interviews with series consultant Renée "Nay" Bever ("Attack of the Queerwolf" Podcast co-host), Mark Gatiss ("Sherlock", "Dracula" on BBC), Kimberly Peirce (Boys Don’t Cry, Carrie [2013]), Lea DeLaria (The Rocky Horror Picture Show [2000], "Orange is the New Black"), Jennifer Tilly (Child’s Play franchise), Karyn Kusama (Jennifer’s Body, Yellowjackets), Leslye Headland ("Russian Doll"), Oz Perkins (Gretel & Hansel), and more.
