Do women and horror movies mix?

"Do women and horror movies mix? Are women excited by being scared to death and watching the bodies pile up? ...

... Psychologists have long believed that our attraction to horror films is that they allow us to explore and experiment with fears and emotions, but there are suggestions that women respond to fear in a way that men don't. "Fear can facilitate sexual responsiveness in women, whereas it inhibits it in men," says Dr Glenn Wilson, a psychologist at King's College London. Isn't that a little close to the myth that women have rape fantasies? "No," he says. "It has to be in a safe, controlled environment, so watching a horror film is a good example. I'm not saying this is the only reason for watching. Horror films, for men and women, are about learning to cope with emotions that would threaten to overwhelm us if they happened in reality." I ask Sarah if The Hills Have Eyes 2 turned her on. She laughs. "No, it was a mixture of boredom and feeling a bit sick. Which isn't sexy." ...

... What I hear again and again is that there just aren't enough female directors in any genre, but especially in horror. One effort to change this has come from the low-budget film studio Warp X, which is running Darklight, an initiative to encourage female horror directors. Ten were chosen and they have been taking part in workshops; at least two of the films to come out of it will be made. "We are focusing on horror because the genre is becoming more popular," says Caroline Cooper Charles, head of creative development. "Horror is a very well-trodden genre with clear tropes and it could do with an injection of something different, something new to make it more exciting. The idea of bringing a female perspective, to see whether those women will come up with anything different, was really interesting." ... "

1940's Paperback Mysteries

"The Dell Mysteries had the juicy cover art and a 'crime map' on the back cover to aid the reader in tracking clues and postulating their 'whodunnit' theories. I love the little 'eye in the keyhole' logo, too.
Most of the Dells in this set are from the first half of the '40's. Towards the end there's also a few Popular Library covers from the same period, with cover art in a very similar style. ..."

Update: Farmirin D. Dell tells us: "These books are most commonly referred to as the "Dell Mapbacks." A full history of the series is in "Putting Dell on the Map" by William Lyles. If you really love these, though, get a copy of Piet Schreuders "Dell Mapbacks," which was printed as a 1998 diary and features wonderful reproductions of the front and back covers of 52 titles. Or, if you want to see more Mapbacks (all of them, I think!) go here."

The Golden Earring - When The Lady Smiles

One of the best Dutch videoclips ever. It was a bit controversial round that time (apr. 1983) because of the raping of a nun. Personally I was more shocked by the lobotomy when I first saw it. There are some known Dutch guest stars appearing like Hans Van Den Burg and actor Huub Stapel, from the cult classic De Lift, about a killer elevator, which was directed by Dick Maas who is also the director of this clip.
