Bitches, Bimbos & Virgins: Women in the Horror Film
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
To many this may sound like an exploitative title, a book that caters to prurient tastes and features cheesecake photographs of pseudo-actresses from direct-to-video basement/bedroom productions. Those so-called Scream Queens.
But this is not that type of book!
No, Bitches, Bimbos, and Virgins is the history of women in the horror cinema, profiling their evolution from coffee-maker to scientist, from seductress and victim to kick-ass heroine, and finally detailing their emergence as well-drawn characters who play important roles in horror movie history-past, present, and future.
