Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the evolution of the 'Hag Horror' genre, the book delves into how iconic actresses like Bette Davis and Joan Crawford were transformed into grotesque figures, highlighting society's disdain for aging women. Caroline Young traces this genre's roots from classic films like Sunset Boulevard to the horror boom post-Psycho, examining titles such as Strait-Jacket and Rosemary's Baby. The narrative addresses fears surrounding feminism, the generational clash in Hollywood, and the often painful realities faced by aging stars once their leading roles faded.
