Kevin Bacon is the devilish head of a LGBTQ+ conversion program that has campers fighting for their lives in the latest trailer for They/Them, the queer empowerment slasher-horror pic from Blumhouse that’s set to debut on Peacock on Aug. 5.
“It’s a great day to be alive, isn’t it?” Bacon, who plays camp leader Owen Whistler, says as he welcomes a ragtag group of wary queer and trans campers for a week of programming. Carrie Preston plays Cora Whistler, a creepy therapist, and Anna Chlumsky is Molly, the camp’s medic and newest employee.
“Where’s my killer?” Bacon’s character asks at one point as campers begin to reach the breaking point. When a mysterious killer with a scarecrow-like mask begins a slashing spree, events get even more dangerous at Whistler Camp.

When Kevin Bacon in the trailer for “They/Them” welcomes a group of queer teens to a gay conversion camp and promises them “a safe space” that will be inclusive for everyone, “safe” hardly means that you won’t be murdered.
“They/Them” is an LGBTQ+ horror thriller from writer and director John Logan and the team at Blumhouse Productions, and the title itself even has fun with some pronouns, as it’s pronounced “They Slash Them,” as in a slasher movie.
But the story actually comes from a personal place for Logan, the writer of “Skyfall,” “The Aviator” and “Gladiator” who is making his directorial debut on the film.
