Executive Producer | Bryan Fuller (Hannibal)


From its literary origins with authors Mary Shelley, Bram Stoker, and Oscar Wilde to the pansy craze of the 1920s that inspired Universal Monsters and Hitchcock, through the "lavender scare" alien invasion films of the mid-20th century, and the AIDS-obsessed bloodletting of 1980s vampire films, Queer for Fear explores the role the LGBTQ+ community played in front of and behind the camera. 


Through this rainbow lens, the series re-examines genre stories not as violent, murderous narratives but as tales of survival that resonate thematically with queer audiences everywhere.
