POST UPDATE 

the links on this post appear to have fried; i originally copied them directly from the miskatonic institute course page here (x) but i’ve haphazardly compiled them:

- the american nightmare: horror in the 70s, robin wood - horror and the monstrous-feminine: an imaginary abjection, barbara creed - when the woman looks, linda williams - her body, himself: gender in the slasher film, carol j. clover - bodies of fear: the films of david cronenberg, steven shaviro (the link is to shaviro’s full text the cinematic body, this essay in particular is pg. 127) - noël carroll’s philosophy of horror right here on libgen - cynthia freeland’s horror and art-dread was published within a collection of essays; the entire text can also be found and downloaded easily on libgen with freeland’s essay on pg. 189
