Happy Valentine’s Day! And Happy One Year Anniversary to Bloodhaus! Today the ghouls discuss a “romantic” horror film, 2008’s Swedish vampire phenomenon, Let the Right One In.  In particular, Drusilla has a lot to say about the gender rep in the film from a trans perspective. From wiki: “Let the Right One In (Swedish: Låt den rätte komma in) is a 2008 Swedish romantic horror film directed by Tomas Alfredson, based on the 2004 novel of the same title by John Ajvide Lindqvist, who also wrote the screenplay.
