GORE ISSUE I

Between 2022-2023, a group of queer writers met online to screen, discuss, and write to the themes of the following body horror films:

• SOCIETY (Dir. Brian Yuzna, 1989)
• BABY BLOOD (Dir. Alain Robak, 1990)
• ANTIBIRTH (Dir. Danny Perez, 2016)
• TETSUO: THE IRON MAN (Dir. Shin’ya Tsukamoto, 1989)
• CRASH (Dir. David Cronenberg, 1996)
• POSSESSION (Dir. Andrzej Żuławski, 1981)
• HELLRAISER (Dir. Clive Barker, 1987)
• AUDITION (Dir. Takashi Miike, 1999)
• ANTIVIRAL (Brandon Cronenberg, 2012)
• THE THING (John Carpenter, 1982)

(NB: not all the films viewed during the workshop appear in this zine.)

This zine is a record of that time and the queer and horrific power of GORE.
