It's Coming From Inside the House! - Watch 'The Hunger' (1983) With MoPOP + Special Guest Isabella L. Price
The Museum of Pop Culture's monthly horror watchalong film series is back in July and in honor of MoPOP’s newest exhibition, Rise Up: Stonewall and the LGBTQ Rights Movement, we’ve invited one of our favorite returning guests, horror host Isabella L. Price, to select a queer horror film that she feels deserves a place on our list of 100+ Horror Films to See Before You Die. Isabella is featured in the Seattle Queer Icons section of the exhibition, and as host of Nocturnal Emissions has become one of Seattle’s most vital voices in horror and genre cinema. Isabella chose cult classic The Hunger (1983), starring David Bowie, Catherine Deneuve, and Susan Sarandon in an incredibly stylized tale of a vampiric love triangle.
