Happy Pride, homos! This month, we’re covering the gayest horror subgenre of them all: the vampire film! And we’re kicking it off with the 1971 erotic horror ‘Daughters of Darkness’, directed by Harry Kümel. 🩸💄👄
In this episode, we discuss the graphic violence against women in the film, talk about the relationship between vampirism and female sexuality, and try to pinpoint what exactly we mean by "the female gaze".
