Description
The horror film has long been populated by male monsters, many of whom engage in acts of violence, rape, and castration. These creatures also frequently take on shape-shifting forms, bleed, and give birth. What distinguishes the male monster from its female counterpart?
This book explores the concept of male monstrosity in horror cinema, examining the characteristics that define these terrifying figures. By analyzing a range of films, Creed sheds light on the cultural significance of the male monster and its role in the horror genre.
