  • Female Authorship in the Slumber Party Massacre Trilogy
    FEMALE AUTHORSHIP IN THE SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE TRILOGY By LYNDSEY BROYLES Bachelor of Arts in English University of New Mexico Albuquerque, NM 2016 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS May, 2019 FEMALE AUTHORSHIP IN THE SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE TRILOGY Thesis Approved: Jeff Menne Thesis Adviser Graig Uhlin Lynn Lewis ii Name: LYNDSEY BROYLES Date of Degree: MAY, 2019 Title of Study: FEMALE AUTHORSHIP IN THE SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE TRILOGY Major Field: ENGLISH Abstract: The Slumber Party Massacre series is the only horror franchise exclusively written and directed by women. In a genre so closely associated with gender representation, especially misogynistic sexual violence against women, this franchise serves as a case study in an alternative female gaze applied to a notoriously problematic form of media. The series arose as a satire of the genre from an explicitly feminist lesbian source only to be mediated through the exploitation horror production model, which emphasized female nudity and violence. The resulting films both implicitly and explicitly address feminist themes such as lesbianism, trauma, sexuality, and abuse while adhering to misogynistic genre requirements. Each film offers a unique perspective on horror from a distinctly female viewpoint, alternately upholding and subverting the complex gender politics of women in horror films. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter Page I.

    **Trash Cinema and the Cultural Politics of Sleaze** Rutgers-Newark, Fall 2020 21:512:312:01 (20848), 26:510:552:01 (20846), 26:050:521:04 (20849) Mondays 5:30 PM - 8:10 PM Remote, synchronous meetings on Zoom Professor: Whitney Strub Office hours: by appointment (I’m available most afternoons, just email!) Email: [email protected] Course Description The history of American cinema is often framed around films of great aesthetic merit: Citizen Kane, Sunset Blvd., The Godfather, 12 Years a Slave, etc. But what happens when we examine this history from the vantage point of its bottom rungs: the lowly, the disreputable, the trashy, the ephemeral, and the sleazy? What do these films--less important as works of art, perhaps, but equally important as windows into various moments of cultural history--tell us about American society and its anxieties and desires? In this course, we will use several “trashy” films and genres to interrogate this and related questions, situating these often forgotten or dismissed films in terms of historical conflicts over race, class, gender, sexuality, and more. Along the way, we will also contemplate matters of aesthetics, analyzing why these films are considered “trash.” Among the marginalized genres we will discuss are the “white slave” films of the 1910s, exploitation films of the mid-20th century, “sexploitation,” pornography, erotic thrillers, “blaxploitation,” horror, and action films. 1 Required Texts Eric Schaefer, Bold!

  • Grinding out the Grindhouse
    Grinding out the Grindhouse: Exploitation, myth and memory Introduction Grindhouses once existed, but grindhouse cinema and grindhouse films, as they are imagined today, never did. To put it less starkly, the term grindhouse has been used in the United States at least since the 1930s, but its transnational cultist aura is of fresher vintage, and for that we may have to thank or blame Quentin Tarantino, the most prominent propagator of grindhouse mystique. The cultification of grindhouse took a while. In the 1980s, the foundational texts of exploitation film fandom in the United States conferred no special value on the label. Michael Weldon’s foreword to his Psychotronic Encyclopedia of Film noted that the cinemas of New York’s 42nd Street specialised in exploitation films1, but the term grindhouse was practically absent from the book. One of the key early sites for popularising mainly North American exploitation films as cult treasures was the 1986 volume Incredibly Strange Films, a compendium of interviews and subgenre overviews edited by Jim Morton. The term ‘grindhouse’ is a scarce signifier in Morton’s book: the filmmaker Frank Henenlotter, for example, reminisces about the drive-in cinemas and “sleaze theaters” 2 of the 1960s and 1970s, but of grindhouses he makes no mention. Even as the ‘paracinema’ cult solidified in the 1990s, the grindhouse myth was barely nascent. The 1995 catalogue for Something Weird Video – a key company in the shaping of current definitions of cult American exploitation film - advertised myriad low-budget movies on tape across a variety of genres, but it only labelled striptease and burlesque films specifically as grindhouse, as part of a series of compilations titled Grindhouse Follies.
