Browsing the news feed here lately and I have found a number of articles that really seem to get into the horror genre and explore it with a more intellectual perspective. Here is another one that I found. This one talks about horror films and porn.
Check out a little bit from the article here to wet your appetite…
When I began to study horror movies, I was motivated partly by my enjoyment of these films, but also by their cultural significance. In the 1980s, when I was a young research student, a series of groups on both the left and the right of the political spectrum were engaged in an attack on both horror and pornography, genres that were said to have dangerous effects on their viewers. These claims were often vague and contradictory, but there was a general sense that these genres were supposed to justify or cause violence against women. In other words, horror and porn movies and the people who watched them were dangerous and needed to be policed.
