Horror Queers Celebrate the Best of 2023 [Horror Queers Podcast]

Published

on

The Year That Was

After two weeks of holiday horror movies with killer baby mamas in Inside (2007) and Anna and the Apocalypse, Trace and I are closing out Horror Queers for 2023 with a look back at the year.

It was quite the year in terms of horror trends, including a spate of liminal horror films, younger skewing films killing it at the box office, and the (mostly successful) return of franchises at the multiplex.

Then we offer up our fifteen favourite horror movies of the year, including franchises (Saw), one and done originals (No One Will Save You) and amazing foreign films (When Evil Lurks).

Episode 262 – Best of 2023 + Bloopers

We’re wrapping up the year with a look back at 2023. How do we feel about the state of horror and this year’s trends? Which films dominated the cultural discussion, killed at the box office or got buried on streamers?

Then we reflect on the state of our podcast (top episodes, ones that deserve more attention and our fave Patreon episodes). Finally, we break down our top 15 films of 2023, plus a few honorable mentions.

And because it wouldn’t be Horror Queers without a couple of fuck ups, we have a whole bunch of bloopers. Have fun at our expense and we’ll see you in 2024!


Cross out Best of 2023!

Coming up on Wednesday: We’re kicking off 2024 with a belated celebration of all things Julia Cotton and one of the very best franchise sequels with Hellbound: Hellraiser 2 (1988).
