With these sexually confused killers, their instruments of murder are most of the time phallic in nature, and the varieties of these tools are vast. The killers themselves often times have sexual confusion, such as Norman Bates in Psycho, the transvestite slasher in Dressed to Kill, and Chop Top and Leatherface In The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. In chapter one, entitled “Her Body, Himself”, Professor Clover introduces us to “The Final Girl” as most of the killer’s victims are women.
Sandwiched between a foreword and an afterward are four chapters of insightful criticism of horror films.
