Women, Monstrosity and Horror Film Harrington Erin
Women occupy a privileged place in horror film. It is also a site of expression and exploration that leverages the narrative and aesthetic horrors of the reproductive, the maternal and the sexual to expose the underpinnings of the social, political and philosophical othering of women.This book offers an in-depth analysis of women in horror films through an exploration of 'gynaehorror' films concerned with all aspects of female reproductive horror, from reproductive and sexual organs, to virginity, pregnancy, birth, motherhood and finally to menopause. Horror is a space of entertainment and excitement, of terror and dread, and one that relishes the complexities that arise when boundaries - of taste, of bodies, of reason - are blurred and dismantled.
Some of the themes explored include: the intersection of horror, monstrosity and sexual difference; the relationships between
