Fright School

Welcome back to Fright School! This week we are joined by Heather Petrocelli, a researcher working on her PhD in Film Studies at the Gothic Centre in Manchester Metropolitan University. She is also the person behind QUEER FOR FEAR a massive research project and important examination of LGBTQ+ people and their relationship to horror. We are beyond excited to welcome her into our remote learning center. Everyone took a trip to the drive-in this week: Joshua and Joe saw THE NEW MUTANTS and Heather went to a screening of DEATH BECOMES HER! Joe, staying on brand, shelled out his 30 bucks for MULAN. We dive into Heather's history with horror, her connection to The Wizard of Oz, The Queer Gaze, and her current project/survey QUEER FOR FEAR! FOLLOW US!
