Join Sarah Fonseca, Zefyr Lisowski, Grant Sutton, and Steffan Triplett for an in-person panel discussion at Bottlerocket Social Hall in Pittsburgh, PA, in partnership with our friends at White Whale Bookstore!
IT CAME FROM THE CLOSET examines dozens of horror classics through essays that re-contextualize the films with fresh, queer points of view. One such film is Brian Yuzna’s bonkers SOCIETY, a late-’80s gem of body horror excess that follows a Beverly Hills teen whose parents belong to the grossest cult imaginable and features one of the wildest finales in cinema history. BHFF’s special SOCIETY screening will be introduced by IT CAME FROM THE CLOSET editor Joe Vallese.
The Center in partnership with Feminist Press presents “It Came from the Closet: Queer Reflections on Horror,” edited by Joe Vallese. Join Joe in conversation with Zefyr Lisowski, Viet Dinh, and Sarah Fonseca as they discuss the films that informed their contributions to the anthology.
Charis celebrates It Came from the Closet: Queer Reflections on Horror edited by Joe Vallese. In addition to the editor, other panelists include: Sumiko Saulson, Richard Scott Larson, Addie Tsai, and Jude Ellison S. Doyle. Through the lens of horror--from Halloween to Hereditary--queer and trans writers consider the films that deepened, amplified, and illuminated their own experiences.
Join us at the Brooklyn Museum for readings, discussion, and audience Q&A about queer horror, featuring IT CAME FROM THE CLOSET contributors Carmen Maria Machado and Sarah Fonseca.
Join us in celebrating the publication of IT CAME FROM THE CLOSET: Queer Reflections on Horror with dancing, drinks, books, prizes, and a show-stopping set by queer performance collective The Neon Coven.
