S2 Ep 4: Found Footage - The Blair Witch Project, Paranormal Activity and Afflicted

The Monstrous Feminine

Welcome back to the Monstrous Feminine Podcast! This month our theme is found footage! 🎥 📺 We ask a lot of questions. Firstly, how has found footage evolved over the years with different technology? What is it about the sub-genre that people find so frightening? Are found footage protagonists always dislikable because they just won’t stop filming? What’s next for this genre? Listen now to join these conversations! To prepare go find this footage: 'The Blair Witch Project' (1999 dir. Eduardo Sánchez, Daniel Myrick) 📹⛺🌲, 'Paranormal Activity' (2007 dir. Oren Peli) 👻🚪🏠 and 'Afflicted' (2014 dir. Derek Lee, Clif Prowse) 🧠🩸🚑. You can find us on most platforms @themonstrousfemininepodcast, and on Twitter, @themonfempod.
