MIX NYC 30th - Friday Night - Double Feature Comedy Horror Picture Show

Nothing could encapsulate the spirit of the queer experience better than the intersection of comedy and horror. Upon viewing this selection of films, viewers may not be able to tell which are which, and that may be the point--to demonstrate that experiences are often both.

In everything hilarious, there may be darkness, and frightening experiences are sometimes those at which we look back on after we've grown and chuckle at our own naiveté. Films that both tickle and terrify us can leave an odd taste in our mouths and an indistinguishable, perhaps conflicted, feeling in our gut. We're simultaneously drawn to and repelled by these stories.
