- Based on three years of extensive UK and US archive research (including production and censorship files, publicity materials, critical reception, audience reports and film exhibition) Phantom Ladies (2015) is the first comprehensive study of converging wartime and post-war cycles of Hollywood horror and crime films featuring female heroines and marketed at women. Identifying women’s work and leisure practices as key shifts in audience demographics and exhibition practices, the book challenges long-held views in film, genre, and feminist scholarship about women’s relationships to horror and crime texts; and in so doing offers a new model for cinema history.
