SEASON ONE: WHEN THE WOMAN SCREAMS
In this season, we’re focusing on horror films from the United States and we’re asking ourselves what these female horror screams have to tell us about the world and a woman’s place in it. Each episode covers a particular type of scream and considers what that scream suggests about the social and political context in which it was created. Transcripts available upon request.
Show Notes are available for each episode and can be found by visiting the Explore the Screams page and selecting the appropriate category.
