Horror fiction often has sexuality as one of its major themes, and can often focus on characters relating that are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (collectively known as LGBT or GLBT), or related themes. It may deal with characters who are coded as or who are openly LGBT, or it may deal with themes or plots that are specific to queer people. Depending on when it was made, it may contain open statements of sexuality, same-sex sexual imagery, or same-sex love or affection, or it may just include a sensibility or campiness that has special meaning to GLBT people, as well as key aspects of horror.
