October is here and with it are our favorite things, pumpkin-spiced everything, hot guys in chunky sweaters, and best of all it's a time when we all celebrate what goes bump in the night (*wink*).

Susan Sarandon gets seduced by a vampiric Catherine Deneuve, who has just dumped her undead boyfriend David Bowie. Honestly, the sheer sexual power radiating off that cast alone should be enough to sell you on this steamy, queer vampire film.

This queer werewolf story follows Heather, a young queer woman with a lycanthropic secret whose life changes when Johnny walks into it. The two strike up a friendship that quickly morphs into romance but small-town minds and those monthly transformations create serious (and deadly) issues for the duo. Also, you really, really need to see the egg scene, and the score is killer.

We had trouble picking between Clive Barker’s original film and the remake in 2022 and honestly, you can't go wrong either way. While the new version is explicitly queer, it doesn't quite match the original which is deeply queer and kink coded, but also just oozes with sheer sexual energy. Either way, we have SUCH sights to show you.
