After tireless years of writing about horror, without bent, for the online publication of Fangoria and other marvelous sites (like Horror Society and Racks and Razors), I found myself being inspired anew, a decade or so ago, by the passionate and highly original voices of fright loving women such as Hannah Neurotica, Kristy Jett, Reyna Young and so many others. They seemed to be the most interesting & truly dedicated voices in the brave new scare movement. I also began noticing more and more queer folks at conventions and film fests – a trend that has, thankfully and revolutionarily, continued – hence Big Gay Fan was born.
While there is queer (and political) content here, to be sure, for the most part, I simply write about what interests me – old school divas, cheesy television films, musical artists and memoir style pieces about growing up as a gay horror lover in a small Western New York farm town of 600. Now, THAT is SCARY, right?!?!
What isn’t frightening, though, is the many incredible folks who I have connected with here. Since I began this blog in the summer of 2010, I’ve simply written about what I love. To find that so many others appreciate the same things has been a true joy in this often insanely odd yet completely beautiful world.
All my love to you, Brian

Which one is your boyfriend? I’d vote for the one on the end. He is hot.
That’s Tony Wash from Scotchworthy Productions. He’s an awesome independent horror filmmaker. I’ve reviewed his stuff here. And – he’s straight. And – I’m eternally single!

Hey man i liked your blog a lot, i am just wondering if you think there is a market for gay horror because in my experience most gay guys prefer comedies, and also gay guys who love horror don’t mind if it’s gay or straight? Is there space for gay horror to ever succeed?
(BTW am aware you don’t focus on gay horror on your blog, just wondering your thoughts on that topic)
Gabriel – I have to admit most of the ‘gay’ horror films I’ve seen have been pretty bad. (Even the ones I enjoy, I find I often like despite – or because of – their awfulness.) I think anytime a film is made for a certain audience, it has a tendency to be lacking. I think it’s important to just make films. I, personally, would just love to see more gay characters in mainstream (and independent) horror. Characters who are just part of the action but their sexuality is not the main focus or reason for the picture to exist. A new indie horror called Everyone Must Die! handles this pretty well. Its got good energy, a clear purpose and the queer characters are just people in the plot. It does suffer from the common problems that plague incredibly low budgets (IE: performers who are clearly not accomplished actors in some major roles) – but it does get many important things right. I, also, must confess that I have always felt a bit out of step with what the traditional gay community wants. Therefore, I may not be the best person to judge whether a series of gay horror flicks would succeed or not. For the most part, though, it is certainly not what I am looking for in a fright flick. I just want it to be good.

Nice to meet a fellow horror fan.
Thank you! Nice to meet you, as well!
The pleasure is all mine. I cover quite a lot of horror on my blog so I hope you enjoy it.
I just followed you, so I am sure that I will.
Appreciate you following my blog.
Nice blog. Friendly and informative as well as amusing. My fave “horror” film is “The Old Dark House” directed by the late famous gay director James Whale. Among the cast is a campy turn by one of my favorite actors Ernest Thesiger. “Have a POTATO!”
I LOVE The Old Dark House. too! You can’t beat James Whale – so many little perverse pleasures in that film! Thanks so much for the nice comments and support, as well!
