Luckily, I was wrong: the presence of LGTBIQ+ characters in fantasy cinema has been a constant throughout its history and has only increased in recent decades. Besides being part of the collective imagination, cinematic monsters from gothic literature — like Dracula, Frankenstein's creature, or Mr. Hyde — were among the first examples of \u003cem\u003equeer\u003c\/em\u003e representations on the big screen, always linked to the different, the strange, and everything that challenged heteronormativity.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  From the predominance of negative clichés — psychopathic lesbians, bloodthirsty bisexual vampires, cross-dressing killers, and many more — to the progressive acceptance of diversity, \u003cem\u003eScream Queer\u003c\/em\u003e offers a broad overview of the evolution of LGTBIQ+ representation in the fantasy genre through the analysis of hundreds of films.
