<P>This book provides a critical reappraisal of Barbara Creed¿s ground-breaking work of feminist psychoanalytic film scholarship, <EM>The Monstrous-Feminine</EM>, which was first published in 1993. <EM>The Monstrous-Feminine</EM> married psychoanalytic thinking with film analysis in radically new ways to provide an invaluable corrective to conventional approaches to the study of women in horror films, with their narrow emphasis on woman¿s victimhood. This volume, which will mark 25 years since the publication of <EM>The Monstrous-Feminine</EM>, brings together essays by international scholars working across a variety of disciplines who take up Creed¿s ideas in new ways and fresh contexts or, more broadly, explore possible futures for feminist and/or psychoanalytically informed art history and film theory.<BR></P>
