We're talking horror for kids, and where better to start than the (almost) universally acclaimed limited series Over the Garden Wall!
We talk about Jungian role assignments, Kierkegaard's "knight of faith," and of course, turt burgling!

Fellas.
Is it queer to toss your brainwashed, bug eating minion down the stairs after he begs you on his knees that he didn't do anything wrong, killing him and have a very queer coded ending a year after the Hays Code was created?
Asking for a friend.
Alternative cover for Fear Coded's Dracula (1931) episode featuring MINA, DRACULA, and RENFIELD on the stairs in the climax with MINA standing there, DRACULA’S hand extended, and RENFIELD crouched lower, begging DRACULA. In the bottom left corner is a gay man and two intersex progress pride sparkle hearts. There's also some red from the original frame but shhhh we don't talk about that

Oh, to be an ingenue of a Young Man encountering Dracula in his fabulously set designed castle for the first time.
Hope this doesn't awaken anything in me (a hunger for flies and spiders)...

A still from Dracula (1931) featuring the YOUNG MAN (aka RENFIELD) in the bottom right corner of the frame, at the foot of a Gigantic staircase that's falling apart and with a giant spider web in the center with DRACULA holding a candle on the stairs. There's also two intersex progress pride sparkle hearts and a gay man version as well.

We can't believe Dracula didn't introduce himself in this scene, but it is the first time Dracula is on screen with Mina, Lucy, Jonathan, and Dr Seward, so we thought it was a cool alternative cover anyway.

www.glitterjaw.com/fear-coded
Still from Dracula (1931) in the Fear Coded Dractober frame (you can see the red all around the edges) from the scene where DRACULA enters the theater box. MINA and LUCY are both seated in the front with JONATHAN and DR SEWARD on either side of DRACULA, framing him in the center of the image. There are two intersex progress pride sparkle hearts on either side of DRACULA’S head, in between his and both of the gentlemen, and a gay man pride flag sparkle heart right over his junk- if you follow JOHNATHAN's eyeline he's staring directly at it

We corrupt Matthew Broderick, play with rubber bats, and play fast a loose with the source material in this Universal Monster celebration of Bela Lugosi's take on Count Dracula.
