About

Tuesday 20 February 2024 | 7pm
Beeston Library
Tickets: £5

Join us for an interactive evening talk, exploring the origins of well loved tropes in the horror genre.

To many people, the horror genre is synonymous with gendered violence and sexual exploitation. However, the genre is also a rich vehicle for female empowerment. This session is designed to explore the origins of well known and loved tropes in the horror genre, sci-fi and fantasy: vampires, witches, demonic pregnancies, and the decrepit ageing body are used to give voices to cultural and social anxieties rooted in the past and present. 

Drawing examples from classic, cult and contemporary horror and fantasy cinema from around the globe, this interactive session will get attendees to reflect on their personal relationship with the genre.
