We’ve already told you about 60 queer horror shows and movies available to stream this month, but perhaps you were overwhelmed by such a monstrous list. Perhaps you need your very own horror host to point you in the right direction. Perhaps you want the stars to tell you what queer horror to watch. I’ve got you! By combining our astrologer G’s queer horoscopes for Libra season with my encyclopedic knowledge of queer horror, I’ve put together a straightforward guide on which horror movie you should prioritize watching this month, based on your sun sign and what the astrological season has in store for you. Presenting: HORRORSCOPES.
Horoscopes can be a useful way of understanding ourselves and working toward personal growth based on our present strengths and weaknesses; horrorscopes, meanwhile, can let us avoid that personal growth by reveling in our own mess and embracing our more, ahem, evil sides 🔪. And doesn’t that sound more fun?!
Aries: The Strings
Streaming on AMC+ and Shudder
You’re encouraged to slow down a bit this Libra season but without dampening your flame altogether. Slow-burn horror may therefore be the way to go. Consider The Strings, a work of arthouse horror that Drew Burnett Gregory describes as “the slowest of slow burns.” In it, a queer musician heads to a remote cabin following a romantic breakup and a band breakup.
Taurus: Perpetrator
Streaming on AMC+ and Shudder
G writes that “belonging” is a big theme for you for the whole year, Taurus. You’re also craving the recognition you deserve. Perhaps you should check out this very underrated and deserving of recognition Jennifer Reeder film, Perpetrator, about a young queer girl in a town where girls keep going missing.
Gemini: Bad Things
Streaming AMC+ and Shudder
You’re feeling off in your routines and in serious need of some mental stimulation. How about a long weekend trip to a remote hotel with a group that includes your girlfriend and your ex? That is indeed the premise of the excellent Shining-esque horror film from Stewart Thorndike, Bad Things.
Cancer: Midnight Kiss
Streaming on Hulu
“The past month has likely highlighted something you want or need to shift about your social landscape,” G writes. As you reevaluate your friend group, perhaps you could dive into this gay slasher flick about the horrors of co-dependent gay friend groups.
Leo: Cuckoo
Streaming on Hulu
You’re supposed to be practicing healthy detachment this month, so how about moving to a resort town in the Bavarian Alps for a bit? That’s how the Hunter Schafer-starring Cuckoo begins, and for sure nothing will go wrong…
Virgo: The Other Side of the Underneath
Streaming on AMC+, Shudder, Tubi
You’re supposed to honoring the unknown, Virgo. Well, I can’t think of a queer horror film more apt for embracing the unknown than the surreal and disturbing The Other Side of the Underneath from Jane Arden.
Libra: I Saw the TV Glow
Streaming on HBO Max
You’re supposed to be saying yes to the things lighting you up right now and be generally discerning about where you give your energy. I would argue the protagonist of Jane Schoenbrun’s beloved queer/trans horror film I Saw the TV Glow is not particularly good at this and is ultimately haunted by regret. So let Owen’s story be a warning to you to indeed protect yourself and your energy.
Scorpio: Annihilation
Streaming on Paramount+ and Tubi
You’re supposed to touch grass this month. That grass probably isn’t supposed to be part of a biologically mutated natural world, but alas! Head into The Shimmer! G writes you should “lean into embracing physical, sensory experiences,” and I can’t think of a more sensory experience than what the characters of Annihilation go through…
Sagittarius: Good Manners
Streaming on Tubi
You’re supposed to be making space for variety this month, and it doesn’t get much more variable than a domestic horror monster movie that’s also somehow a musical and lesbian romance?
Capricorn: Scream VI
Streaming on Paramount+
You’re supposed to be connecting the dots this month…much like the characters of Scream VI have to connect the dots of the latest round of Ghostface kills.
Aquarius: We’re All Going to the World’s Fair
Rent on Apple TV ($4.99) or Prime ($4.99)
You’ve perhaps been experiencing some weird dreams and lots of intense feelings from your subconscious that require processing. So why not watch this surreal, isolating, and often nightmarish slow-burn horror movie? It’s very unsettling! Perhaps its quiet intensity can be a brief break from the quiet intensity of your own inner world right now.
Pisces: Jennifer’s Body
Streaming on Disney+, Hulu, and Tubi
You’re supposed to be continuing to consider your relationship to conflict and setting boundaries. Two characters who do NOT do that? Jennifer and Needy of Jennifer’s Body. They definitely could have benefited from some introspection on how they deal with conflict, but I’m so glad they didn’t! Because wow do I love how toxic their friendship is!
