As the logline states, “five fabulous, queer ghost hunters criss-cross the country, helping the living by healing the dead.” Created by the team behind Queer Eye, Living for the Dead was a wonderfully campy, spooky romp that tackled the paranormal through a queer lens. The series, which debuted just in time for Halloween 2023, was the perfect show to celebrate the season. Unfortunately, if you were planning on holding off for Halloween 2024 to watch and set the mood, you’re out of luck.
'Living for the Dead' Celebrated Queer Visibility in Horror Paranormal reality television shows are nothing new. They've been capturing the attention of viewers for decades. Whether fictional or documentary, there is a fascination with the unknown and the beyond. Last year, as Living for the Dead was embarking on its press tour, Rob Eric stated that the all-queer cast and LGTBQ+ lens were not the sole reason why this show was unique and special.
There is a history that was included in the series. Living for the Dead covered paranormal history as they visited each location, but also queer history. Whether it's visiting the famed Clown Motel in Nevada or the notorious Lemp Mansion in St. Louis, the series balanced the ghostly stories that have been beholden to the locations, as well as why the experts feel the connection to this universe.
Canceling 'Living For the Dead' Hurts Queer Representation in Media Close Even if a work of art sees some love in the living world, its time on earth may not see its full potential. Such was the case for Living for the Dead. The series was nominated for three awards in 2024: a GLAAD Award for Outstanding Reality Series, a Queerty Queerties Award for Reality/Docuseries, and a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Cinematography.
