transmediaclubThey/Them is a horror film that takes place at a gay conversation camp, a twist on the classic summer camp setting. One of the campers is trans and non-binary and how the campers are split up by gender is difficult for them.
Hellraiser 2022 - The new Pinhead is played by transwoman Jaymie Clayton.
I personally haven't seen either yet, so I can't give my own commentary on either. I've tried making it through the Hellraiser series for a few reasons, but I was bored by the first film. I'd like to take another stab at it, but we'll see.
Now, you probably know that I tend to hate lists of media with transgender characters or themes because they are usually terrible, but 10 Underrated Transgender Horror Films To Watch After ‘They/Them’ from Dread Central looks like an actually good list. They even specify where being trans is subtext or text. I am going to add Wild Zero and Querent to my to-watch list on Letterboxd.
