About this listen
Why are the most terrifying concepts that horror movie directors can come up with are often older women? We're breaking down the concept of hagsploitation, a horror genre that examines the campy and grotesque horror of aging women, and the terrifying lengths they’ll go to take back what they’ve lost. We explore the origins of this trope and the way it tugs on the fears that are imposed on women.
We'll take a look at the way this trope is portrayed in the 2025 Zach Cregger directed horror movie Weapons.
