This article intends to expand the hermeneutical possibilities in the queer study of the monstrous by taking as reference Spanish fantaterror (fantasy and horror) films. In opposition to approaches anchored by the critical study of archetypes and abject bodies, we offer a model of analysis based on Queer Phenomenology, by Sara Ahmed, with the aim of applying it to the study of the cinematic mise en sc & egrave;ne. To do that, we centre on some key productions of one of the most successful subgenres of late-Francoist commercial cinema, using its peak period (1969-74) as framework and putting our focus on the queer construction of space, beyond the representational dimension of the monster and its binary alterities. We analyse the role of deviation and disorientation in the construction of queer spatiality that simultaneously diagnoses a state of transition at the heart of the industry and the Francoist political regime during the last years of the dictatorship
