Defying industry logic and gender expectations, women started flocking to see horror films in the early 1940s. The departure of the young male audience and the surprise success of the film Cat People convinced studios that there was an untapped female audience for horror movies. This title reveals the untold story of how the Hollywood horror film changed dramatically in the early 1940s, including both female heroines and monsters while incorporating elements of "women's genres".
