As drawn-out as there have been horror films, there hold been queer horror films. Before homosexuality was formally legislated out of reality in Hollywood by the Production Code — commonly referred to as the Hays Code, which established mandates for “moral standards” in motion pictures and banned depictions of “sexual perversity” — the legendary filmmaker James Whale was building the foundation for American genre cinema with films like Frankenstein, The Vintage Dark House, and The Invisible Man.
