I Changed My Thesis
Originally, my history BA thesis was going to be deconstructing the Starz/Sky TV collaboration Penny Dreadful.
I changed it.
I had been forcing my way through the show to make notes for my work, but then one day I started thinking about Bill Gunn’s ‘Ganja and Hess’ way too much and it changed my whole concept.
Now, I’ll be writing my thesis on linguistic violence against women and the monstrous feminine in horror, examining terminology used against women and how those words are contextualized historically within horror as a genre.
There’s a lot of material to cover in this paper, as I already have over 50 sources, but to give an idea of what I’m looking at, the following are the movies I’ll be using for the paper:
Am I Quiet Enough For You Yet?
Audition (1999)
Last Night in Soho (2021)
...Will Still Become a Wolf When the Autumn Moon is Bright
Ginger Snaps (2000)
The Company of Wolves (1984)
I Drank All the Blood That I Could
Ganja and Hess (1973)
A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (2014)
Holy Water Cannot Help You Now
Def By Temptation (1990)
Possession (1981)
They Come to Drink, They Come to Dance, to Sacrifice a Human Heart
The Lure (2015)
She-Creature (2001)
Burned But Not Buried This Time
The Craft (1996)
The VVitch (2015)
So stay tuned for ‘At Least You’ll Sanctify Me When I’m Dead: A History of Linguistic Violence Against Women and the Monstrous Feminine Within Horror’.
This is gonna be fun.
