SENIOR CAPSTONE (IN PRODUCTION)

For my senior degree project, I argue that slasher film tropes have set up a traditional structure that directors follow because it depicts the significance of gender roles. The project is titled Eeny Meeny Miny Moe and features the characters The Token, The Nerdy Practical Joker, The Skeptical Jock, The Slutty Cheerleader, The Nice Guy, and The Final Girl. Along with additional information about why these characters are used so often in horror.

The idea of presenting my project at a horror convention showing a poster series of each character and a card game were also designed in addition to the book. The posters are a set of six and represent each character mentioned throughout the book. The cards are a fun interactive game determining whether players live or die in a horror movie.
