Congratulations — you’ve stumbled across our coven. 🧙♀️ Welcome. In this pilot episode, we discuss what exactly makes the women we see in horror films so "monstrous". Are the women actually the victim? If they are, how do they become the monster? Can they be both?
We answer these questions using three tropes explored in the 1993 text of the same title by feminist film critic, Barbara Creed: the witch, the possessed woman, and the female vampire. To help us out, we interviewed a special guest: K/XI, director and creator of the independent horror film company @badwolffilms. 🐺
So go watch ‘Carrie’ (1976), ‘Jennifer’s Body’ (2009) and ‘A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night’ (2014), as these witchy bitches are about to give away all the spoilers.
