My name is Susan and I am a horror movie connoisseur with a special interest in the slasher film genre. I am also a staunch feminist. In my 33 years of life I have found that most people say my affection for horror movies contradicts my daily strife to promote the progression and power of women in society. I'm now ready to fight that argument.....with great force. 

In this blog I will take on the Top 100 Slasher Movies (http://www.onlygoodmovies.com/blog/movie-megalists/top-100-slasher-horror-movies/)

In this blog I will not only give a detailed play by play but I will also prove a theory that has been plaguing me for years. Here we go:

Feminist Slasher Project investigators:

Susan "Sus" Goodwin - Blog Creator / Feminist / Slasher Movie Fan

James "The Jimi" Hattar - Slasher Movie Fan / Full of Testosterone / Loves the Ladies

Alison "Alicat" Wise - Slasher Movie Fan / Film Degree /International Correspondent

Alecia "Lee" Rossi - Hates Slasher Movies / Film Buff /International Correspondent

I'm going to address my theory by using the scientific method. I found a Susan friendly website that gave me the tools for my project:

Totally a kids website, but I don't care....do you?

• Ask a Question : Do horror slasher films subjugate and objectify women? Or are they a media force that brings women into power and portrays them as heroines?
• Do Background Research: My background research is purely personal. Years of watching these movies has lead me to this project. 
• Construct a Hypothesis: My theory is that most horror slasher movies are driven by female survival and generally show the protagonist to be a female. Not only do women lead the fight against the aggressor they also are the heroines in the films. My theory is that most horror slasher movies do not hurt the feminist movement but rather support it. 
• Test Your Hypothesis by Doing an Experiment: I will be watching the top 100 slasher movies with assistance from 2-3 correspondents to insure a non-bias environment. I believe that if 85% of these films meet the criteria then I have suceeded. 
• Analyze Your Data and Draw a Conclusion : Coming Soon
• Communicate Your Results: Coming Soon
