“The Dread of Difference is a classic. Few film studies texts
have been so widely read and so influential. It’s rarely on the
shelf at my university library, so continuously does it circulate.
Now this new edition expands the already comprehensive coverage of
gender in the horror film with new essays on recent developments
such as the Hostel series and torture porn. Informative and
enlightening, this updated classic is an essential reference for
fans and students of horror movies.”—Stephen Prince, editor of
The Horror Film and author of Digital Visual Effects in Cinema: The
Seduction of Reality “An impressive array of distinguished
scholars . . . gazes deeply into the darkness and then forms a
Dionysian chorus reaffirming that sexuality and the monstrous are
indeed mated in many horror films.”—Choice “An extremely
useful introduction to recent thinking about gender issues within
this genre.”—Film Theory
