The Devil is a gay-coded teen in ‘Fear No Evil,’ a shoddy horror with the most homoerotic shower scene ever
Welcome back to our queer film retrospective, “A Gay Old Time.” In this week’s column, we revisit 1981’s Fear No Evil, a confusing yet undeniably queer horror largely forgotten to time.There’s always been a close connection between the queer community and horror. As a genre that has often used the figure of the “Other” in some of its most famous stories (from Frankenstein and Dracula to Freddy Krueger and Carrie White), there are many thematic connections that explain why we gravitate to creatures and monsters.
