Notes
1. The male birth myth is central to Frankenstein’s narrative, but it features a great deal in horror films: “In his attempt to create life, the male womb monster of the horror film re‐creates an intrauterine mise‐en‐scène, a maternal landscape, which is symbolically his womb, his birth giving place. He gives physical form to an unconscious memory of his first home” (CitationCreed, 2005, p. 42).
