FEMALE MONSTERS 01 • Island of Lost Souls (1932) + Cat People (1942)

In the first episode of our new season all about monsters, we talk about The Island of lost Souls (1932) and Cat People (1942). These two films make for a wicked double bill of cat-themed horror. I’m joined in this episode by Dr. Alison Peirse , author and professor specialised in horror cinema, to discuss Panther Women, cat-themed horror and how these films tackle female sexuality. *** The Final Girls are a UK-based film collective exploring the intersections of horror film and feminism.
