SUMMARY
In this Halloween-themed edition of Sex Plus, Laci takes a look at popular horror films of the past as a unique perspective on what humans are afraid. She goes on to offer commentary on 3 of her favorite old-school horror films which she believes have feminist themes: The Shining, Carrie, and Rosemary's Baby. She ends by noting the continued lack of diversity and female presence in the film industry as a whole, and pondering what's behind our fear of movie "monsters".
