I recently saw it referred to as a horror film, and I wonder if anyone agrees that it is.

Absolutely, to this day wire hangers scare the crap outta me. All kidding aside I never once thought of it as a horror film

Nope not a horror movie to me either.

Horrifying maybe, but not horror. One of my favorite guilty pleasures, actually.

Wasn't this the first film where they purposely marketed it as a "cult film" during it's original release?

Not a "horror" movie, but maybe a "monster" movie ... not saying Crawford was, but that is the way the book and movie portray her.
Super-entertaining as always commentary by John Waters on the DVD of this, by the way.

I wonder what happened to Crawford during her childhood to make her into that "monster".

I believe she was sold to a cult of gypsies who carved her eyebrows and shoulder blades in those permanent, hideous shapes.

I remember being shocked at how over-the-top this movie was the first time I saw it. That scene in which a berserk Joan attacks Christina and goes all kabuki
on her while she's pinned to the floor just sent the whole thing into another realm.
Legend, oh legend, the third wheel legend...always in the way.

Not horror, but an over the top soap opera. That wire coat hanger scene and what follows after it in the bathroom was really frightening. though.
Man, Dr. Gerard must've been brewing some of that Jekyll and Hyde joy juice
in here.
