Episode # 29  Blood and Infections, Aids and 1980′s Horror movies and Beyond.

This week we chatted about how horror films in the 1980′s ( especially) used blood and infectious diseases as a metaphor for Aids and HIV.

In the JOY 949 studios The Squeamer was joined by Tim Artos Grady to talk on these matters, and the portrayal of the Gay in iconic movies like Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge, and Mark Patton’s ‘coming out’ as HIV positive, and the more recent TV vampire fodder: True Blood, and how that symbolises the virus and queer sexuality.
