Interview with the Vampire (1994): "History Will Say They Were Roommates"

Happy Pride Month, Spookies!!!! It's officially time for us to be our best, most canonically queer selves, and we're kicking off this year's line-up with a supernatural classic: Interview with the Vampire (1994). If you're not watching the TV show, you totally should be, but first we have to pay our dues to the OG Lestat de Lioncourt. Tom Cruise is absolutely That Bitch in this role, and he and Brad Pitt and Christian Slater competed in a literal handsome-off for their parts in this movie (a competition that should've also included Antonio Banderas, BTW). While this flick explicitly features two gay dads raising their iconic vampire daughter, it still very much could be gayer — but don't worry, baby, because we're just getting started.
