Women in Horror: The Slumber Party Massacre (1982)

Dory Hoffman
February 28, 2018
Women in Horror
For Women in Horror Month, I couldn’t think of a greater example of a female-driven film than The Slumber Party Massacre, written by Rita Mae Brown and directed by Amy Holden Jones.

Women in Horror: Sydney’s Revenge in Scream

Dory Hoffman
February 20, 2018
Women in Horror
So we already have a morality tale with Scream, and on top of that, we have hyper-aware teens who know they are in a horror movie.

Women in Horror: The Return of Julie James in I Still Know What You Did Last Summer

Dory Hoffman
February 15, 2018
Women in Horror
From the very beginning of the film, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer does not disappoint.

Women in Horror: MAKING IT HAPPEN – Paying Tribute to Julie Corman

John E. Meredith
February 12, 2018
Women in Horror
Though she's never gotten as much recognition as her husband, Julie Corman's work has changed the face of Roger's filmography.

Women in Horror: Julia Ducournau’s Raw (2017)

Corin Totin
February 9, 2018
Women in Horror
It’s utterly amazing that this is Ducournau’s debut feature because, the way she skillfully balances the elements of a coming-of-age drama that’s infused with horror, is nothing short of masterful.

Women in Horror: Scream Queen Revisited – Halloween: H20

Dory Hoffman
February 6, 2018
Women in Horror
Laurie’s role as Final Girl hellbent on survival conflicts with her mother role, who desperately wants her son to be a normal teenager.

Women in Horror: FEMINIST GUIDE TO SURVIVAL – I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER

Dory Hoffman
February 1, 2018
Women in Horror
Even though I’m all grown up, I still write, “I KNOW” on my mom’s bathroom mirror when I visit. I probably always will.

Women in Horror: Carrie – Horror Every Day

Laura Akers
February 28, 2017
Women in Horror
As with so much of King’s work, Carrie isn’t about what it is most known for.

Women in Horror: Sidney Fucking Prescott

Dory Hoffman
February 27, 2017
Women in Horror
In every Scream, Sidney has proven herself to be a badass Final Girl.

Women in Horror: Wes Craven’s Red Eye

Laura Akers
February 26, 2017
Women in Horror
Lisa Reisert’s ability to handle herself isn’t something brought out by the trauma she suffers in the movie.

Women in Horror: Nancy vs Freddy Millennial Style

Dory Hoffman
February 25, 2017
Women in Horror
Quentin and Nancy are such an awesome team because they intellectualize a plan that doesn’t relegate them to stereotypical gender norms.

Women in Horror: Sigourney Weaver

Laura Akers
February 24, 2017
Women in Horror
Without Weaver’s influence both on and off the screen, there would be no Sarah Connor. No Bride. No Lara Croft. No Alice. And no Furiosa.

Women in Horror: I Spit on Your Grave (2010)

Dory Hoffman
February 23, 2017
Women in Horror
The film shocks not because it is alien, but because it is real, because rape happens all the time.

Women in Horror: The Final Girls

Dory Hoffman
February 22, 2017
Women in Horror
However, The Final Girls gets everything right.

Women in Horror: XX (2017)

Paul Brian McCoy
February 21, 2017
Movies, Reviews, Women in Horror
Essentially, if the Magnet logo comes up, you can count on getting your money's worth, and XX is no exception.

Women in Horror: Michelle Rodriguez

John E. Meredith
February 20, 2017
Women in Horror
Michelle Rodriguez was pretty much a badass from the beginning.

Women in Horror: Patty Mullen

Fred L. Taulbee Jr.
February 19, 2017
Women in Horror
On a scale of Karloff/Boyle to DeNiro, Mullen is definitely closer to the Karloff/Boyle side, and she has a scream queen presence second only to Cassandra Elvira Petersen.

Women in Horror: Australia Represents with Murderdrome and Wyrmwood

Paul Brian McCoy
February 18, 2017
Women in Horror
Some of the best low/no budget horror filmmaking in the world has come out of Australia over the past few years.

Women in Horror: Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Jamie Gerber
February 17, 2017
Women in Horror
At the time though, the show meant so much more to me than mere entertainment. Buffy the Vampire Slayer became an integral part of my survival.

Women in Horror: Byzantium

Paul Brian McCoy
February 16, 2017
Women in Horror
And with a script by English dramatist, director, and actor, Moira Buffini, based on her teleplay, Jordan has struck gold with Byzantium
