10 Gayish Halloween Movies To Watch This Weekend
It’s Halloween, the unofficial gay national holiday. All across the country, men and women alike are dressing up in slutty costumes and behaving badly. But in case you’re just not in the mood to wreak havoc in the streets, and would rather stay in and hang out at home, we’ve compiled some Halloween-appropriate movies worth watching (or re-watching).
Scroll down for 10 of our favorite gayish scary movies…
Hocus Pocus
It’s hard to believe that it’s been been 22 years — 22 years! — since Hocus Pocus first bombed in theaters. Audiences and critics in 1993 just weren’t feeling Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy, and Sarah Jessica Parker (pre-Carrie Bradshaw) as the Sanderson Sisters, three Salem-era witches raised from the dead after 300 years only to run amok in the 20th century. Since then, however, it’s gone to to become not only a Halloween caper classic, but a cult favorite among the gays.
The Witches
While we’re on the subject of witches and feeling the ’90s nostalgia, Angelica Huston‘s portrayal of the Miss Ernst, the Grand High Witch, in The Witches, based on Roald Dahl is still wickedly fabulous 25 years after the film was originally released.
Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?
Cast two aging gay icons who hate each other–Bette Davis and Joan Crawford–as mentally unstable/physically unable protagonists, then have them abuse one another for two and a half hours, throw in a creepy life-sized porcelain doll, and you’ve got a recipe for success.

The Lost Boys
This homoerotic vampire flick by out director Joel Schumacher features a band of randy teenage male vampires with exposed mid-drifts and single pierced ears who like to suck each other’s blood. Need we say more?
Phantom of the Opera
Gerald Butler plays the title role in the movie version of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s spooky blockbuster musical. It also features Patrick Wilson looking hot (per usual) as Raoul and Minnie Driver playing the over-the-top diva Carlotta Giudicelli.
The Craft
Four bitchy, er, witchy Catholic school girls establish a coven and use sorcery for their own personal gain and, eventually, to try and destroy one another.
The Covenant
This is sort of like the male response to The Craft ten years later. A group of ridiculously attractive male witches who appear to have very little interest in the females around them take their shirts off and seductively fling themselves at one another for 97 minutes and all in the name of the “Sons of Ipswich.”
The Addams Family
Duh.
Hush… Hush, Sweet Charlotte
Another macabre must-see Bette Davis picture. This time she portrays a lonely spinster living in a crumbling antebellum mansion whose sinister cousin, played by none other than Olivia de Havilland (a.k.a Melanie Wilkes), tricks her into thinking she’s going crazy in an attempt to steal her riches.
American Psycho
Christian Bale plays a wealthy, over-sexed serial killer who spends about one third of the film either in his underwear or completely naked. ‘Nuff said.

Open Question: I'm Gay But Don't Want to be Part of the LGBT community?
I’m pretty sure I’m gay because I only fall in love with guys and only men are usually what I’m attracted to. I’m starting to consider accepting it and stuff, I really want to hook up with guys and act on my feelings. But the thing is not only am I a devout Protestant Christian, but I also don’t want to be a part of the whole “gay” thing. I want to stay in my community, the Anglo Saxon American Protestant culture where I belong, not the LGBT stuff. I don’t want to be a part of that whole thing, and be the base for all the pro-gay legislation and everything. I just happen to be attracted to guys, but that shouldn’t define me. In today’s world, if you’re gay, that’s all you are, people see you as nothing else but gay, and I don’t want that. I just want to be a regular Christian New Englander, not part of the whole LGBT thing. Is there a way for me to handle this?
Open Question: How can I be a better friend?
Basically I don’t respect this straight friend of mine. I stare at him an aweful lot . . . .
He doesn’t trust me to be really good friends with me, and I don’t blame him. I also want to get to know him, and I’m immensely curious about him, but I don’t know who he is; he is a mystery to me . . . .
He doesn’t agree with the LGBT Community and that’s too bad. I know I’m a creeper and a lousy friend and socially fearful and slow in the head. But I still wish to know the real me coz I’m still a nice person deep down and he won’t give me a chance.
Boxer In Gay Porn Video Says He Was Drugged, Producers Deny Accusation
A professional boxer claims he was drugged and forced to do gay porn, but the company who filmed his scene refuses to take that accusation lying down.
As a middleweight boxer, 35-year-old Yusaf Mack, has accumulated a 31-8-2 record since 2000. However, he reacted like he had been gut-punched earlier this week when the news that he had appeared in a gay porn video went public.
“All my real friends who really know me, know I like females,” Mack said, according to Towleroad.com. “My whole life, I’ve been what they call a whoremonger. I love females.”
The film in question, “Holiday Hump’n,” centers around a threesome with a man who looks like Mack named “Philly,” and two other males, “Bamm Bamm” and “Young Buck.”
The plot, such as it is, revolves around a series of explicit sexual acts between the trio.
The erotic opus was made by DawgPound USA, a porn company specializing in gay porn featuring African-Americans.
Mack, the father of 10 children, admits he agreed to be in a porn film earlier this year because he was short of cash, but claims he thought it would be with women.
The Philadelphia-based fighter took a train to New York in June. He ended up in an apartment in the Bronx that he said had a number of naked women inside.
“I think, ‘It’s about to go down.’ I needed a drink or something,” Mack told Philly.com.”They gave me a pill and a shot of vodka. I took the pill down with the vodka.”
Mack said he doesn’t remember anything after that, until he woke up on a train with $4,500 in his pocket.
Mack went on with his life until mid-October when some of his friends pulled him aside and told him about the video.
He claimed he’d never actually seen it. “That ain’t me. I don’t remember that,” he told Philly.com, rebutting claims that he was in the video. He changed his story, however, saying his friends convinced him that it was him in the recording.
Gawker reporter Rich Juzwiak is also convinced it’s Mack in the video. He delivers a blow-by-blow description of the film, but ultimately declares, “Mack seems dedicated to doing a good job, but his technique is amateurish.”
Mack insists he must have been drugged to have had sex with men.
“It’s entirely possible because [GHB is] a sexual stimulant and some people take it voluntarily to enhance the sexual experience,” according to Trinka Porrata of ProjectGHB.org. “It’s entirely possible to perform and yet not recall.”
DawgPoundUSA.com is punching back at Mack’s claims that he was drugged with the following statement to Gawker:
DawgPoundUSA.com is a reputable company which has produced high quality videos of men-of-color since 2002. At no time have we ever coerced or drugged any of our models. The claims made by Mr. Mack are false, slanderous, and vehemently denied on our part. We intend to take all legal steps necessary to protect our good name and reputation against these patently false and preposterous claims.

MIDDLE EAST: President Obama to send special operations to help fight ISIS in Syria: “While the deployment was small in scale, it was large in import for a president who until now had refused to send American ground troops for any sustained operations into a country devastated by more than four years of civil war. But with the fight against the Islamic State stalled, Mr. Obama concluded that a change was needed.”
ANCIENT ALIENS: NASA photos show mysterious ancient earthworks in Kazakhstan: “Satellite pictures of a remote and treeless northern steppe reveal colossal earthworks — geometric figures of squares, crosses, lines and rings the size of several football fields, recognizable only from the air and the oldest estimated at 8,000 years old. The largest, near a Neolithic settlement, is a giant square of 101 raised mounds, its opposite corners connected by a diagonal cross, covering more terrain than the Great Pyramid of Cheops. Another is a kind of three-limbed swastika, its arms ending in zigzags bent counterclockwise.”
DINOSAURS: Rare dinosaur fossils airlifted out of national park in New Mexico: This was something that had never been seen before — the full skeletal remains of a baby Pentaceratops, a plant-eating dinosaur with large horns that once roamed what is now North America tens of millions of years ago.

GRAND OLD PARTY: Republican presidential candidates to hold summit on how to alter the party’s debate process. Oh, and they didn’t invite the RNC: “On Thursday, many of the campaigns told POLITICO that the RNC, which has taken a greater role in the 2016 debate process than in previous election cycles, had failed to take their concerns into account.”
SPORTS: ESPN The Magazine’s “Being Out” issue looks at the state of LGBT athletes in sports.
DEBATES: RNC cancels NBC debate over disastrous CNBC debate. RNC Chair Reince Preibus: “Questions were inaccurate or downright offensive. The first question directed to one of our candidates asked if he was running a comic book version of a presidential campaign, hardly in the spirit of how the debate was billed.”
MEN: Matt Bomer proves that guys will make passes at guys who wear glasses.
INTERNATIONAL: Greek government commits to laws promoting LGBTI equality at the ILGA-Europe Annual Conference in Athens: “‘There was a palpable sense of urgency in the room today. With the backing of all major political parties, the Greek authorities have a mandate and responsibility to improve the legal and policy situation for LGBTI people in the country. We trust that the Greek government will prioritise the promises it has made at our Conference,’ commented ILGA-Europe Co-Chair, Paulo Corte Real.”
