Hollywood's Monstrous Moms: Vilifying Mental Illness in Horror Films
Kassia Krone
Using case studies from a broad range of films, including the classic, campy, slasher, or prestige, and placing them within their historical context, this work extends conversations about horror and mental illness. Highlighting the trope of the mentally ill mother as a pervasive image within the genre furthers examination of existing stereotypes.
