VM 387 - The Dark Femme: Women in Horror

Credits: 4
Part writing workshop and part critical theory, this course examines the development of lead female characters in horror and thriller genres over several decades, and how female characters have evolved through the lens of both male and female writers and directors. Students are also exposed to gender tests like the Bechdel and GD IQ tests and consider the sociopolitical influences that established horror tropes like the “final girl,” “the femme fatale,” and more.
