Feminism, Genre
By Alison Peirse
?But women were never out there making horror films, that?s why they are not
written about ? you can?t include what doesn?t exist.? ?There are really, very
few women horror filmmakers working today, that?s why so few are coming
up.? ?Women are just not that interested in making horror films.? ?How can
you be a woman and be a fan of horror?? ? This is what you get when you are a
woman working in horror, whether as a writer, academic, festival programmer
or filmmaker. These assumptions are based on decades of flawed scholarly,
critical and industrial thinking about the genre. Women Make Horror sets right
these misconceptions. Women have always been making horror, they have
always been an audience for the genre, and today, as this book reveals, women
academics, critics and filmmakers alike remain committed to a film genre that
offers almost unlimited opportunities for exploring and deconstructing social
and cultural constructions of gender, femininity, sexuality and the body.
