In this book, Darren Elliott-Smith departs from the analysis of the monster as a symbol of heterosexual anxiety and fear, and moves to focus instead on queer fears and anxieties within gay male subcultures. Furthermore, he examines the works of significant queer horror film and television producers and directors to reveal gay men's anxieties about: acceptance and assimilation into Western culture, the perpetuation of self-loathing and gay shame, and further anxieties surrounding associations shameful femininity. This book focuses mainly on representations of masculinity and gay male spectatorship in queer horror film and television post-2000. In titling this sub-genre 'queer horror', Elliott-Smith designates horror that is crafted by male directors/producers who self-identify as gay, bi, queer or transgendered and whose work features homoerotic, or explicitly homosexual, narratives with 'out' gay characters. 410 0$aLibrary of gender and popular culture ;$v11. 606 $aHomosexuality and motion pictures 606 $aHomosexuality in motion pictures 606 $aHorror films$xHistory and criticism 606 $aSex role in motion pictures 606 $2Film theory & criticism 615 0$aHomosexuality and motion pictures. 615 0$aHomosexuality in motion pictures. 615 0$aHorror films$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aSex role in motion pictures. 676 $a791 700 $aElliott-Smith$b Darren$01615990 712 02$aBloomsbury (Firm), 801 0$bERASA 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818495703321 996 $aQueer horror film and television$93946479 997 $aUNINA
