Beschreibung
ONE OF THE HILL TIMES TOP BOOKS OF 2025. Turning a lens on the dark legacy of colonialism in horror film, from Scream to Halloween and beyond. Horror films, more than any other genre, offer a chilling glimpse-like peering through a creaky attic door-into the brutality of settler colonial violence. While Indigenous peoples continue to struggle against colonization, white settler narratives consistently position them as a threat, depicting the Indigenous Other as an ever-present menace, lurking on the fringes of "civilized" society. Indigenous inclusion or exclusion in horror films tells a larger story about myths, fears, and anxieties that have endured for centuries. Bloodied Bodies, Bloody Landscapes traces connections between Indigenous representations, gender, and sexuality within iconic horror classics like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Friday the 13th. The savage killer, the romantic and doomed Indian, the feral "mad woman"-no trope or archetype escapes the shadowy influence of settler colonialism. In the end, horror both disrupts and uncovers colonial violence-only to bury its victims once more.
