Episode 128: Horrifying Dames

The Dames inaugurate Spooky Season with a brief history of horror films, from the silent period through Classical Hollywood, world horror, the rise of slashers/indie horrors, and contemporary genres. 

• Favorite films and subgenres - what are the kinds of horror we love, and what do we really hate?
• What do horror films represent for our culture? 
• Are horror films the return of the repressed?
• Queer horror, feminist horror - what does that look like? 
• Is there such a thing as “elevated” horror?
