I know it's late but here is a #HorrorMovieBingo board for movies and although the movies themselves don't count individually the board and the bingos do 🦇

I'm not sure how I'd describe my aesthetic, so here are some images I like?
-Watching scary movies; anything from silly scares to slashers. Same for reads
-Visually/decor, I like sheeted ghosts, cute bats, and pumpkins more than fangs and blood
-I like stories based on mythology
-My cat is gone, but I still love this image. A dusty library with a hint of magic
-The classic monsters have endured for a reason 🙂

Texreader Other than scary movies and mythology we are a lot alike!! 3mo
wanderinglynn Awesome! 🖤💀 3mo

I saw this sitting unlocked on my Audible wish list and decided it would make a nice palate cleanser, considering the general pattern of my nonfiction listens. (And yes I am aware that I just described a book about horror movies as a ‘palate cleanser‘).

Anyway, it‘s about what I expected and wanted: Most of the info here isn‘t anything too earth shattering for horror hounds. There‘s a sort of fanboy patina around it all. I liked it enough.

Next up in quarterly review faves: non-fiction and lit fic. Biggest surprise: all the nature non-fiction I've done in the last three months, none of it ended up sticking with me, and the reading experience/writing quality was really hit and miss. Might have to rethink sampling in that subgenre (no more picking it up because it has a tree on the cover! Literary fiction is never my primary genre, at least I read ONE I loved! 🤷🏼‍♂️

I ADOREEEEE....Robert Englund....this was such a fun read and he has had such an amazing life and career. Reading stories about his adventures immediately makes you want to watch or re-watch whichever movie he is talking about. Totally recommend this to his fans or movie buffs.

This book is a two-fer. You get a synopsis of a movie plus a detailed account of the criminal and the crimes that inspired the film. Starting with “M”, made in 1931, the book includes movies such as “Psycho”, “The Exorcist”, “The Silence of the Lambs”, “Scream”, and “Poltergeist”, to name a few. If you like scary movies, you might enjoy this book.

Fucking fascinating. Maybe a little too much Freud. Apologies for the dreadful cover showing in your feed.
Carol J. Clover's 'Her Body, Himself: Gender in the Slasher Film' remains one of my faves of the collection, I realize that's my final girl bias showing through.
I think I honestly enjoyed Thomas Doherty's 'Genre, Gender and The Aliens Trilogy' (written back when it was just a trilogy) because those films made such an impression on me. 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? The collection also expands several times on how the nuclear family (male patriarch) is threatened, essays individually containing stronger or weaker links back to gendered concerns via a mother who is somehow perverse; then stumbles into intersectional territory. There are a number of essays discussing queerness, seemingly more entries about gay men than lesbians, and some discussion of racism. Unfortunately, the inclusion of essays focusing on these topics felt more scattered than intentional and seemed to veer away from discussions of gender and, as the little ♀️symbol on the cover suggests, specifically depictions of women in horror. 10mo
Robotswithpersonality 3/4 I would love to see a third edition, (there was about ten years between the first and second edition, it's been nearly ten years since the second, so it's time!) with parts that expand upon the gender discussion beyond women as minority gender, into discussion of transgender, non-binary/agender spectrum, perhaps an interlude for new ways the masculine is treated or expanded upon as well, then a dedicated section that focuses more on how gender in family in horror works, with all the mother aspects situated there, and then a dedicated section for how intersecting queerness and bipoc rep into gender affects readings of certain films' texts. 10mo
Robotswithpersonality 4/4 In the meantime I'm definitely going to keep poking around for horror non-fiction with this kind of insight, especially centred on the final girl trope. Happy to take reccs if you got 'em!
⚠️ALL THE WARNINGS. If you're worried about it, there's probably at least a mention in this essay collection, and there are also black and white stills from the films in question. BEWARE.

The film being discussed is from Belgium in 1970.
It is 2024. WHY are there no feminist, lesbian vampire films I'm hearing about in present day North America?!
That would be so epic. 🙇🏼‍♂️
