House of psychotic women : an autobiographical topography of female neurosis in horror and exploitation films

Janisse, Kier-La2012
Book
Cinema is full of neurotic personalities, but few things are more transfixing than a woman losing her mind onscreen. Unlike her male counterpart, the female neurotic lives a shamed existence, making these films rare places where her destructive emotions get to play. 'House of Psychotic Women' is an examination of these characters through a daringly autobiographical lens.
