There are likely few people who consider horror to be sexy or romantic, but it is undeniable that intimate relationships have long played a part in the genre. Just look at the ‘rules’ for the slasher genre and sex is right there. This likely stems from our complicated relationship with, well, relationships. After all, everyone of us has some kind of intimacy issues (or perhaps that’s just me).
Horror lets us examine our insecurities and the powerful emotions tied to these intense connections we develop with other people.
In this episode I go through a list of horror comics about sex, romance and desire.
