and that’s when I walked out of the cinema -- The Horror Genre with Tabby Knight

winey writers

this episode we are joined by fellow PhD student and our resident expert in horror, Tabby Knight, to help us get into the festive Christmas spirit by discussing murderous clowns. We know Tabby as someone who reads and watches copious amounts of horror but, recently, she went to see a horror film in cinema that made her walk out halfway. We discuss the film in question which leads to conversations about the horror genre and misogyny, sexism, and the appeal of explicit violence on screen for a contemporary audience.
