When I really fell into my love of horror in my teens, I was also beginning to explore my sexuality as a queer individual. How does your queerness fit into your cinematic vision? There is that fabulous Scream Queen documentary out now that talks all about that, which I highly recommend! It’s so gay! There’s so much written about queerness in 80s horror movies, for example, like the one Nightmare on Elm Street. Horror is often a vehicle for queer stories. Horror lets us entertain that mysterious death concept that fascinates us, but fortunately in a way nobody actually gets hurt!

I see horror movies as reflective of something ancient and dark about humanity as a species – a certain fascination with death, gore, violence that’s always existed. With horror, you’re trying to provoke fear even though you aren’t actually being chased by a killer or attacked by a monster, your brain is convinced you are, and I find it interesting how films achieve this effect, depending on the particular way a scene is constructed and handled. The Buckeye Flame chatted with Roger Conners about Cleveland’s indie film community, queer horror, and why-now more than ever-we need to support artists.Īs a filmmaker, what draws you to horror?
