Let's kick off Queer as Folk Horror month by taking a little journey. That's right, it's time to go on a trip (geographical, to Sweden; and metaphorical, under the influence of substances) as we take on the 2019 film, Midsommar, written and directed by Ari Aster. But in the end, maybe the real journey was the friends who really sucked along the way. The sun never sets on the Hårga empire as we talk about horror in broad daylight, communalism, and hey, what's in these pies anyway?
