"...the horror film abounds in images of abjection, foremost of which is the corpse, whole and mutilated, followed by an array of bodily wastes such as blood, vomit, saliva, sweat, tears and putrifying flesh...viewing the horror film signifies a desire not only for perverse pleasure...but also a desire, having taken pleasure in perversity, to throw up, throw out, eject the abject..." Barbara Creed, Horror and the Monstrous-Feminine: An Imaginary Abjection | Carrie (1976) dir. Brian De Palma | SPN 14.04, 'Mint Condition'
