Quotes by Meg Hafdahl (?)

“In film and other media, the female body is sometimes seen as a place.”
― Meg Hafdahl, The Science of Women in Horror: The Special Effects, Stunts, and True Stories Behind Your Favorite Fright Films

“A mother who surpasses all expectations of what a loving, maternal figure should be, yet subverts them within the genre of horror, is Morticia Addams. With her creepy, gothic look, dark sense of humor, and aversion to anything outwardly loving, Morticia doesn’t seem to be a woman who would be up for any “Mother of the Year” awards. Yet, numerous examples of her character throughout her many incarnations prove that she is loyal, open-minded, and loving beyond measure.”
― Meg Hafdahl, The Science of Women in Horror: The Special Effects, Stunts, and True Stories Behind Your Favorite Fright Films

“The end fight sequence in Friday the 13th didn’t use any stunt performers. Betsy Palmer and Adrienne King performed the entire fight choreography themselves and were followed closely by the camera.1”
― Meg Hafdahl, The Science of Women in Horror: The Special Effects, Stunts, and True Stories Behind Your Favorite Fright Films
