Plot

Is horror solely a man’s domain? You may think that initially, but your perspective will shift as you explore the significant impact women have had on horror films for more than a hundred years. In 2020, acclaimed Australian critic Alexandra Heller-Nicholas published a comprehensive book titled 1000 Women in Horror, 1895–2018. This encyclopedic work honors the numerous women—directors, actresses, producers, and crew members—who have influenced the genre since the very beginnings of cinema.
