The concern, it appears, stems largely from the writers behind the script: all three straight white men. In Halloween Killshowever, the boogeyman seems to have picked up on their relationship in a weirdly satisfying way.

Some even went as far as to claim Michael Myers to be homophobic. Big John and his husband, Little John, run their own real estate business. Historically, slashers have existed solely in the grip of the white male gaze, always reliant on senseless nudity and the exploitation of women.

InScream would totally change how slashers looked, of course. Even with the comments made in jest, those feelings are completely valid. In the United. That’s certainly a valid argument, as well. Gay survival would continue to be the crux of many modern horror films.

From Sidney Prescott Neve Campbell resembling an evolution to The Final Girl archetype to an entire rule-breaking third act sequence revolving around sex, the Wes Craven-directed picture was a signifier of a cultural shift.

Despite its creator being gay, there would not be a single openly gay character onscreen for another 10 years with Bride of Chucky The character has very little screen time, playing the quirky gay sidekick archetype, at best. In fact, Big John and Little John are a step in the right direction when it comes to queer representation in major studio franchises, especially with a series like Halloweenthe granddaddy of them all.

The show first aired on September 11,on NBC, and ran for one season of 13 episodes. Meanwhile, the rising torture porn trend took similar cues with its bigoted tendencies.

Subconsciously, I think the Scream movies are coded in gay survival. There have been vastly contrasting reactions and opinions about Little John and Big John over the last few months. So, that leaves little if any room for queer perspectives and stories to be told and explored.

I follow quite a bit of gay couples on Instagram that have bought and done up an old rundown house, making Big John and Little John as characters very on point.
