*Spoiler* Angela in Sleepaway Camp being transgender initially only served a shock effect and rarely had any positive portrayal, yet the current horror fandom celebrates her as a trans icon. The "death of the author" in the eyes of queer audiences will have different meanings.
What surprised me most was how Camp Miasma presented the connection between queer audiences and slashers. Even though these media include flaws and have so many "incorrect" elements, queer audiences can still gain a certain awakening and find their own narratives.

Interestingly, large corporates trying to capitalize on "woke" to revive old franchises are not as impactful as a queer audience finding "correct" reconciliation from an "incorrect" slasher film.
First clip from ‘BUDDY’, starring Buddy the Unicorn.
The film follows a girl and her friends who must escape a demented kids TV show.
