Halloween is coming up and what better thing to watch than something queer and spooky? From gay ghosts to sapphic vampires and bloodthirsty queer horror - here are 10 queer films and TV shows perfect for spooky season.

(All shows available in the UK at time of publishing.)

1. AGATHA ALL ALONG (2024 - present)

Everyone's been talking about AGATHA ALL ALONG, and for good reason! It's a fun and campy supernatural fantasy adventure following the events of WANDAVISION (though if you haven't seen it, there's not much you won't get). After breaking the spell she was under (thanks to a helpful teen), a once-powerful witch regains her freedom and embarks on a journey down the Witches' Road with a hastily-formed coven. It's camp and fun and spooky and surprisingly gay.

BIT is a smart and witty, modern take on the vampire film genre. The film follows Laurel, a trans teenage girl who meets four queer feminist vampires while on vacation in Los Angeles.

DEAD HOT is wild. It's a short and sweet six-part comedy thriller mini-series about love, loss, sexuality, identity, and class.

6. THE HAUNTING OF BLY MANOR (2020)

Though some would class THE HAUNTING OF BLY MANOR as a horror, I'd be more inclined to say its a love story with plenty of ghosts thrown in. After an au pair’s tragic death, a young American nanny is hired to care for two orphaned children. As creepy as this mini-series is, it's also beautiful and incredibly well-acted and the lesbian love story feels authentic and sweet.

9. JENNIFER'S BODY (2009)

JENNIFER'S BODY has become a bit of a cult classic. The original marketing of this film didn't do it justice - it's a feminist revenge horror/comedy with themes of toxic friendship, grief, and sexuality at its core. Jennifer is different after a traumatic evening at a local bar, her male classmates are steadily being killed off and it's up to her best friend Needy to uncover the truth. Is Jennifer evil now? Yes, and she wants to eat your boyfriend.
