Rosanne Welch's video: 27 The Exorcist from When Women Write Horror with Dr Rosanne Welch

From On Screenwriting and Media with Dr. Rosanne Welch http://rosannewelch.com In honor of Halloween - and in service to my teaching philosophy -- "Words Matter. Writers Matter. Women Writers Matter." I presented this holiday lecture "When Women Write Horror" on Tuesday, October 29th, 2019. Researching the many, many women who have written horror stories - in novels, films, and television - brought new names to my attention who I am excited to start reading. I hope you will be, too!

They sold the movie on the man who saves her -- the priest who comes to exorcise the demon. They sold it as a boy's movie, but it's a girl's movie. Right? So I think that's a problem.
