About this listen

From scream queens to femmes fatale, horror isn’t just for the boys. Gothic media moguls Meg Hafdahl and Kelly Florence, authors of The Science of Monsters, and cohosts of the Horror Rewind podcast called “the best horror film podcast out there” by Film Daddy, present a guide to the feminist horror movies, TV shows, and characters we all know and love. Through interviews, film analysis, and bone-chilling discoveries, The Science of Women in Horror uncovers the theories behind women’s most iconic roles of the genre. Explore age-old tropes such as “The Innocent” like Lydia in Beetlejuice, “The Gorgon” like Pamela Voorhees in Friday the 13th, and “The Mother” like Norma Bates in Pyscho and Bates Motel, and delve deeper into female-forward film and TV including: The Haunting of Hill House, Teeth, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and so much more! Join Kelly and Meg in The Science of Women in Horror as they flip the script and prove that every girl is a “final girl”.

Get. This. Book!

I absolutely love The Science of Women in Horror! As a writer and filmmaker of a feminist vampire film currently in development, I am hugely impressed by Florence and Hafdahl. Listening to it felt like sitting down with deeply researched, passionate thinkers and delving into a fascinating topic. They do a great job putting the pieces together in a comprehensive and anthropological way. Even though it’s filed with vital statistics, it doesn’t read like a text book. It’s filled with their humanity and a strong female point of view. It’s fun and essential reading for anyone interested in the genre!
