10 More Queer Horror Movies to Stream for Pride

Readers may recall io9 did a version of this list back in 2022 that incorporated several queer horror classics, including A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge and Dracula’s Daughter. For 2026, we wanted to round up 10 more recent releases that show just how inclusive and diverse the horror world continues to be.

The Acolyte’s Amandla Stenberg stars in Halina Reijn’s pitch-black horror comedy about a group of friends whose murder-themed party game goes horribly awry. The ensemble includes Maria Bakalova, Myha’la, Chase Sui Wonders, Rachel Sennott, Pete Davidson, Conner O’Malley, and Lee Pace, so you’re guaranteed eye candy to go with the gore and mansion-sized drama. (Available to rent or buy on digital platforms.)

The queer aspect of Clown in a Cornfield is admittedly a bit of a surprise reveal.

Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy’s excellently creepy tale begins with a strange missive that turns up at a post office, where it crosses paths with an unusually curious dead-letter investigator—and then leads into a warped tale of obsession and synthesizers. Just as original as the story is the film’s retro style, perfectly calibrated for both its subject matter and its 1980s setting. (Streaming on Shudder)

One of the first Irish-language horror films, this eerie contemporary folk tale from writer-director Aislinn Clarke follows a home-care worker who impulsively agrees to a temporary posting in a rural area. This is partially because she and her pregnant wife-to-be could use the extra cash, but also because she needs a break from clearing out the apartment stuffed full of bad memories where her estranged mother has just taken her own life. Of course, as Fréwaka finds, the past has a way of clinging to the present, especially when malicious spirits are involved. (S
