Our next show, "Monsters of the American Cinema" by Christian St. Croix, frames a powerful and heartening tale of fathers and sons, race and queerness, loss and redemption around the structure of classic Hollywood monster movies. What is it about creature features that speak so deeply to us - especially to those of us from marginalized communities? Scholar and writer Tosha R. Taylor gets at the connection between queerness and horror movies in her fantastic essay "The Wolf Man's Daughter," part of a larger work called "It Came From The Closet: queer Reflections on Horror."
