THE COVENANT (2006) // Queer Fears

Published on: 7th June, 2022

Happy Pride Month, y'all! This will be our 3rd year of Queer Horror coverage, as we covered the CHUCKY franchise in 2020 and in 2021 got a little more personal with our guests' picks. This year looks to be a critical look at a few campier titles, starting with the 00s fever dream that is The Covenant.

The boys discuss how initially criticized for queer-baiting (and being a not good movie lol), the film has somewhat been re-claimed by queer horror fans over the years for its ridiculous camp and homoeroticism. Do Garrett & DeVaughn perhaps give the movie too much credit with DeVaughn's queer theory? Take a hit and pass that spooky shit!

New episodes every Tuesday, subscribe to not miss an episode. Next week, we are going kid-friendly talking ParaNorman. Follow us on social media for updates!
