In this episode, Beyza (Fear Queers Podcast) and I discuss a brief history and history of inclusion in horror, as well as our love for the genre! How did they get into horror? What is it about VHS? We also discuss queerness in horror, and representation and inclusion in general. 

Why do we do this to ourselves?! Where did it start? I linked the books that Beyza recommended below! Did you know there was a lesbian vampire, Carmilla, created before Bram Stoker wrote Dracula?! 

Then, we talk about what Horror content Beyza has been into lately! Seriously, if you're not watching What We Do in the Shadows, you're missing out! We also discuss what Beyza is into outside of the horror genre. Full disclosure, we obviously recorded this episode before Hawkeye aired - so you get to hear past us briefly discuss our anticipation for the show! 

And, there’s a Surprise Question for Beyza! Let us know what your favorite Buffy episodes are!
