(no subject)
Jan. 9th, 2008 07:39 pmI need some help, please.
Currently I'm working on a paper that has the subject 'Women, Abjection and Horror' and it's about the portrayal of women in horror movies and the castration-fear men often project on them in those movies. Have I lost you yet?
Now the question: Can anyone help me with some examples from horror movies? Cause I can only think of the ones already mentioned in class and I'm having a complete brain-fart (not to mention: a looming deadline).
Basically I need examples of horror movies where the female is the victim, slaughtered by men OR where the female is the one who's doing the killing (of men).
Any ideas?
If I finish my paper in time today I might YouTube some of the clips I can remember from The Greatest Class I Ever Took ;)
