In this episode, we tackle the last of Barbara Creed’s female horror tropes: the monstrous womb. We want to know why the canon of womb-related horror is so white; why the image of a fertile woman is so limited; and why men are so concerned with regulating our bodies. We also descend into a full-blown argument about one of the films mentioned, so stay til the end for some tea. ☕️

To get clued up, go watch dirtbag Polanski’s 1968 horror classic ‘Rosemary’s Baby’ 😈👶🏻 and Christian Volckman’s 2019 film ‘The Room’ 🤞🏻🏚.
