Knit One, Stab Two

Abstract

I love horror films. I love knitting. I love feminism. My academic research explores the representation of women both behind and in front of the camera, reflecting upon how, when and why women are written into, or excluded from film histories. The impetus for this particular project came out of a response to re-reading ‘When the woman looks’ (1984), Linda Williams’ canonical essay on horror film and gender. Here, I have brought together my three passions to ask, what happens when the woman knits? Or, to be more precise: what happens when the woman knits in a horror film?
