Tonight! The Cinefamily presents Homo-Phobia!
Jeepers Creepers (2001)
Prepare to be terrified and titillated by Victor Salva's modern masterwork Jeepers Creepers. Salva fashions a creature from his own tortured id with the titular Creeper, a fiend that will stop at nothing to get his claws on hairless boy-toy Justin Long's "peepers".

A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge (1985)
In the much maligned sequel to the seminal Wes Craven classic, A Nightmare on Elm Street 2 features horror icon Freddy Krueger as a metaphor for the fey teenaged protagonist's repressed homosexuality. Director Jack Sholder somehow failed to notice the clear homoerotic "subtext" of the film, despite a sequence that starts in a leather bar and climaxes in a boys locker room ass-whipping death. So come set your gaydar to "scream" for these homo-horror classics.
