The Terrifying: An Analysis of Horror and Fairy Tales Under an Intersectional Feminist Lens

Abstract

A documentation of Theatre & Performance Senior Project, "The Terrifying." Production photos, sound and lighting breakdowns, and director's notebook. In addition to Senior Project documentation, included is an analysis of modern horror films through the Aarne-Thompson-Uther classification of fairytales, as well as a newly coined term: "the Neo-Cinderella trope." This is used to show the universal plotlines used by filmmakers to oppress women and other historically marginalized groups.
