Raja Michael (@rajamichael123) loves the story BEHIND the horror films. It’s cathartic, the women who survive give answers to BEING terrified. Fascinating.

PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN is the suspense film about the woman turning tables on would-be date-rapists you cite, Jackie…THE STEPFATHER the original is a 1987 film written by Donald Westlake, who was a brilliant writer of prose and scripts; the remake misguidedly makes the threatened daughter into a son, and despite a fine cast, is weak tea in comparison.
THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE the novel by Shirley Jackson is brilliant, was published in 1959 (same year as PSYCHO by Robert Bloch, also brilliant, both a bit better than the first films and Vastly better than the remakes)…and the ’63 film is very faithful to Jackson’s novel…the feminist content of Ira Levin’s novel ROSEMARY’S BABY (he also wrote THE STEPFORD WIVES, THE BOYS FROM BRAZIL, and more), as with Donald Westlake’s script and no few of his fictions, and no few other horror and suspense-writers’ works…when asked for 4 horror novels for a beginner in the field to read, I suggested HOHH, PSYCHO, Fritz Leiber’s CONJURE WIFE and Octavia Butler’s KINDRED (all basically feminist).
Amusingly, Elsa Lanchester in BRIDE OF FRANK not only plays the reanimated bride, and also Mary Shelley, in the prologue. In the novel, the Behemoth is the usual way of citing the reanimated guy…
Universal ran All their monsters into the ground…HOUSE OF FRANK, HOUSE OF DRACULA, and then finally ABBOTT & COSTELLO MEET a bunch of properties…A&C MEET FRANKENSTEIN being the best of those…
Glad To See The Post-Game Again!
