I am doing a critical research project on how women are portrayed in horror films. As part of a research it has been suggested i join a forum to gain other peoples views, to back up my hypotheses. Hope your willing to give your thoughts!

I am researching how traditional horror (up to the 70's) generally vicimizes women, whereas contemporary horror is representing women women as empowered and stongwilled. your thoughts please...
I have read Carol Clovers book 'men women and chainsaws', has anyone else, what did you think?

Anyone seen Carrie (1976) or Ginger Snaps (2000)?

how does feminism play a part in horror films?

What films do you feel victimise women, and what films do you feel empower women?
