REPRESENTATIONAL ISSUES:
The representation of women within the horror genre is very hegemonic as they usually play the role of a victim. The most used convention of a female victim is the 'dumb blonde' and this stereotype might include seductive body language, playful nature, strong make up, revealing clothes. this is supported by 'scream' in which the blonde character dies in a very stereotypical way.
women are traditionally represented as the victims and men are shown as the heroes and the killers.
