My two pieces published by the Royal City Literary Arts Society

10/22/2022

0 Comments

 
Yesterday the Royal City Literary Arts Society (RCLAS) published two of my pieces in its online magazine, Wordplay at Work (read them here). 

The first piece is called More Regard for Dogs (page 18). The RCLAS awarded me an honourable mention in the non-fiction category of their Write On! Contest 2022 for this piece, which discusses violence against women in film.

The second piece, entitled The Columbia Witches, is a Halloween story set in Revelstoke, BC, and can be found on page 44. Happy Halloween!

The Halloween franchise and Universal Studios' Halloween-themed haunted houses

10/19/2022

My new article in Feminist Current shines a spotlight on the Halloween franchise and Universal Studios' Halloween-themed haunted houses in Orlando and Hollywood (read it here). 

I decided to write this article back in February, when I discovered that a 13th installment was in the works. The fact that this franchise, that revolves around a male serial killer who targets girls and women in particular, is so huge speaks volumes about the pervasive misogyny in North America.

Yesterday Women Making Films published my article on Halloween horror classics, a roadmap of sorts for female viewers (read it here). In this article I discuss Psycho (1960), The Exorcist (1973), Carrie (1976), Halloween (1978), The Shining (1980) and Friday the 13th (1980), shining a spotlight on some of the ways they fail female viewers. 

​Happy Thanksgiving!
