gay halloween

Halloween is America’s gay holiday. And this weekend of lavish costumed theatricality will attract everyone, but especially lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) revelers. By the 1980s, gay enclaves like Key West, West Hollywood, and Greenwich Village were holding their annual Halloween street parties. And the parades the night of Halloween did and still do draw straights and gay spectators out to watch.

Sure, Halloween is gay, but how much do you know about lesbian Halloween?

In honor of the gay community's high holy night, Halloween, SheWired has compiled a list of the Top 10 Scary Movies to Make the Gay Girls Scream  to add to your queue of female-fronted thrillers-and whether they're supernatural beings or the product of a nasty virus, we've got everything covered from werewolves and vampires to zombies, demons and ghosts. Among those who make us scream are flicks featuring lesbian faves Rose McGowan, Michelle Rodriguez, Kate Beckinsale, Megan Fox, Catherine Zeta Jones and Susan Sarandon.
