Horror as a genre has always engaged with era-specific societal mores and moral panics, often about isolation or abandonment, changing family values and the role of women. It is often specifically about how gender is constructed in everyday life. Women are commonly defined in horror by their passivity, or monstrosity/sexuality or victimhood - or a mix of the three. At the same time women in horror are forced into psychological and physical torture ending in violent showdowns in which they emerge damaged but triumphant. Bringing together research from a wide range of established and emerging scholars this edited collection provides an insight into how modern horror films portray femininities, sexualities, masculinities, ageing, and other current issues, exploring the use of vampires, zombies, werewolves and ghosts in films made internationally. This volume, one of three by the same editorial team examining the horror genre, focuses on gender and contemporary horror in film, asking questions about how and if representations of gender in horror have changed. In these readings and re-readings, the authors examine developments in films about vampires, zombies, werewolves and ghosts, in films made internationally. 410 0$aEmerald studies in popular culture and gender. 606 $aHorror films$xHistory and criticism 606 $aSex role in motion pictures 608 $aElectronic books.$2lcgft 615 0$aHorror films$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aSex role in motion pictures. 676 $a791.436164 702 $aHolland$b Samantha 702 $aShail$b Robert 702 $aGerrard$b Steven 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bSFU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910467209103321 996 $aGender and contemporary horror in film$91905838 997 $aUNINA
