Domestic Violence & Abuse in Horror Movies
These 20 episodes look at abuse behind closed doors. We talked about gaslighting and vulnerability in Creep, manipulation and co-dependency in Renfield, neglectful parents in Home Alone, and toxic relationships in Lucky. Full Metal Jacket, Creepshow, Tales from the Hood and Little Shop of Horrors each touch on domestic violence, and Coraline explores abuse through a child's eyes.
