Documentary examines women’s roles in the horror genre
A new documentary from Last Doorway Productions called “Welcome To My Darkside: Women in Horror” takes an in depth look at how women have helped create and support horror films.
The press release for the DVD, which is due for release in mid 2009, states: “Let us take you on a journey into the female psyche and see how they view and create the horror genre. … The film takes a look at women in all aspects of the filmmaking process, from the scream queens of the 60’s and 70’s to women producing and directing today’s horror hits. ”
Directed by independent horror filmmaker and Scream Queen Reyna Young, it explores how women’s roles in the industry have changed over the years and how women have led that change in a predominantly male genre.
