This week, The Monstrous Feminine Podcast is discussing a new subgenre of horror: desktop horror. Born from media horror and found-footage horror, these films take place on the computer screen via webcam and social media. 🖥 ⌨️
The witches have a lot of questions about this new horror category. For example, how accurate are the depictions of cyberbullying? Does the representation of women change in this particular genre? Finally, is it really possible for ghosts to travel through wifi? Find out here!
