An interesting dive into the gendered and psychosexual nature of horror films up through the late 80’s, and the ways in which the genera of horror gives us windows into perceptions and feelings of gender, the controlled flow of anticipation and release, and sadomasochistic sexual fantasy. This book is primarily an analytical exploration of these topics from a cis-gendered and heteronormative standpoint with touches on queer representation.
Graphic: Sexual assault, Rape, and Violence
Moderate: Sexual violence and Murder
These topics are all mentioned or described in reference to movies and topics relating to these scenes
