This critical analysis and history examines 45 films featuring
'grande dames' in horror films. Included is a history of women in
horror before the 1962 release of ""What Ever Happened to Baby
Jane?"", which launched the 'Grande Dame Guignol' subgenre, in
which older women are featured as morally ambiguous leading ladies.
Next is an exploration of Grande Dame Guignol films that have
followed that landmark release, continuing into the present. The
filmography includes cast, crew, reviews, synopses, and production
notes, as well as recurring motifs and each role's effect on the
star's career.
