S1 Ep 7: Scream Queens - Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street 2 and Hush

The Monstrous Feminine

Welcome to the Halloween special of ‘The Monstrous Feminine’! 🧙🏾‍♀️ To celebrate the spookiest day of the year, we have broken down the classic horror trope: Scream Queens 👑. We have a lot of questions about these horror divas. Where did this trope come from? How does it change when it’s applied to a man? Can a character who is deaf and nonverbal classify as a Scream Queen? Check out this episode to hear what we have to say! Before you listen, go watch the iconic ‘Halloween’ (1978 dir. John Carpenter) 🎃, the queer af film, ‘Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge’ (1986 dir. Jack Sholder) 💅🏼 and the newer release, ‘Hush’ (2016 dir. Mike Flanagan) 🤫.
