Scream With Me

Scream with Me is a thought-provoking exploration of how classic horror films like Rosemary’s Baby, The Exorcist, and The Shining reflect and critique societal issues surrounding women’s rights, reproductive autonomy, and patriarchal oppression. Through ten insightful essays, Columbia professor Eleanor Johnson examines how these movies reveal broader cultural attitudes and fears, highlighting the horror rooted in familiar domestic and social realities. Engaging and timely, the book offers an enlightening perspective on the connection between horror cinema and American feminist struggles.
