The Contribution of Heroines, and the Role of Feminism in the Horror Genre – Part 1 (Podcast)

Tonight, I’m interviewing Michelle Satchwell. Michelle is returning to the show to talk about the role of women in horror films. Class, gender, and race will also be analysed to determine how they have been portrayed over the decades and if and how, nowadays, things have changed. Michelle analyses classic female-led horror films through sociopolitical theories and practices and sheds light on how psychology examines these filmic portrayals.
