Carol Clover - "Her Body, Himself"
What is the problem?
-
assumes younger male audience consumers of the slasher; teen men/boys: "Young males are also, I shall suggest, the slahser film's implied audience"

uses of psychoanalysis to think about sexual repression and psychopathy of male killers (Freud) (Norman Bates, split personalities, sexual impotence and trauma with Leatherface)

other films we should think about: the Black Christmas remake (yikes the misogynist frat murderers); larger questions of modern "empowerment" stories; Jeepers Creepers
