Rita May Brown! I was floored when I found that out.

I'm glad that you mentioned the homoerotic tones of Nightmare 2 because I knew that I wasn't the only one.<br /><br />The claw in the bathtub is an allegory for loosing your virginity much like Slumber Party Massacre's driller killer (it couldn't be any more apparent) and just about every slasher flick ever made.Bone D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06089754645997828161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474941883581221669.post-43332979106400180092011-01-22T05:31:56.639-08:002011-01-22T05:31:56.639-08:00I'm so completely thrilled that you're wri...I'm so completely thrilled that you're writing this blog. Gender roles in horror is one of my most favourite subjects to read on as horror are my favourite movies. Bee is spot on though, Oates does write in a very similar way eliciting cringe worthy moments but they're so very engaging. I can provide the titles of some really interesting books on the subject of gender in horror if anyone is interested!Nix Musehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11892396251018846640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474941883581221669.post-25577494537453162212011-01-21T20:44:41.298-08:002011-01-21T20:44:41.298-08:00boyhowdy: It's true, and you could also argue ...boyhowdy: It's true, and you could also argue that the movie is making strides in one area but not in another- and that is still making progress. <br /><br />laui: "defending her virtue and her life are the same thing" yeah, well said!joey comeauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18150256398023751080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474941883581221669.post-64986942933063244022011-01-21T10:57:03.833-08:002011-01-21T10:57:03.833-08:00Well, there's a long tradition of that.
