Halloween is never over for me! If you are still in the mood to celebrate all things spooky, make sure you pick up MovieJawn’s Fall 2024 Issue!
I cannot overstate how excited I was to open up my first contributor’s copy of MovieJawn, not to mention to see my article listed right there on the cover! This issue celebrates the slasher genre, aka the bread and butter for many of us horror fans. There are so many fun pieces here that follow themes like wacky weaponry, artful kills, and sexy slashers.
The idea of “wacky weaponry” immediately got my brain buzzing about driller killers in horror! Taking inspiration from my many read-throughs of Carol Clover’s Men, Women and Chainsaws, I take a look at the phallic symbolism behind the power drill as it has been used across a handful of films like The Slumber Party Massacre, Driller Killer, The Toolbox Murders, and Body Double, as well as how this weapon is distinctly a working man’s tool and how that enriches the reading of challenged masculinity for these killers.
You can still pick your copy for only $10 over at the MovieJawn online shop!
