Carol Clover
'Men, Women +Chainsaws, 1992'
- Carol has a different view to Wheeler as she like filming in places like decaying and haunted mansions. She likes places that are terrible not just because of the state it is in but alos by the families and histories that are inside them, she wants bad things to happen to people it should happen to.
- She wanted the killers in the horror films to have issues with their childhood or to the people who are sexually disturbed.
-Carol also said no to guns when performing the sub genre slasher films. She thought it would be better to use weapons to make it more gory The weapons she used were knives, machetes, chainsaws, axe's and even a baseball bat with nails or barbered wire.
- The victims that she liked to use for the horror was normally beautiful women that were being killed.
- When males and females are killed in the same numbers, it is the death of the female that normally lingers on the screen.
- The final girl who is saved is always spotted at the start of the slasher films, this girl is normally presented as intelligent, resourceful and watchful.
- All of these views are what Carol Clover thinks about how horror films should be filmed and for it to be scary to the audience and for them to like it.
