Killer Moms
A mother is supposed to be loving, protective, caring and kind. She's supposed to nurture her children from infancy into childhood and adolescence. The very thought of murdering a child--much less their own child--is not only bizarre but perhaps the most disturbing thought a parent could have! Exploring the ultimate betrayal of a parent's duty, Killer Moms: True Stories recounts 31 harrowing tales of motherhood gone wrong and the often perplexing motives behind the murders. Love, money, power, depression, honor killings, human sacrifice, and unfathomable evil all come into play, but also ... The world is cruel excuse. A mother's belief that they need to save their child from a lifetime of suffering. First Lady of the Third Reich, Magda Goebbels, Ted Hughes's lover, Assia Wevill, and Rachel David, who believed she was married to God, and their tortuous thoughts. The unwanted child. Denise Labbé and Francisca Rojas, who chose to end their children's lives to appease their lovers. Psychosis, delusions and hallucinations. Otty Sanchez, Lindsey Nicole Blansett, and Maggie Young and their battles with mental illness. Spousal revenge. Andrea Yates may have killed her children by the desire to get back at her husband for the life she was forced to live. Whatever the reason, it is particularly disturbing when the mother is the murderer. Perhaps the most intimate crime, Killer Moms looks the horrifying stories, investigates the facts, and explores the motives behind these senseless killings.
Hollywood's Monstrous Moms
From Carrie and Rosemary's Baby to Us, Hereditary, and Run, the image of the mentally ill mom as villain looms large in the horror genre. What do these movies communicate about mothers living with mental illness, and how do these depictions affect them? Portraying mentally ill moms as problems to be overcome, often by their own children, perpetuates harmful stereotypes with potential real-world consequences, such as the belief that these women are unfit to bear or raise children. More compassionate representations are needed to lessen the social stigma associated with the mentally ill. Fortunately, some of the contemporary horror films are attempting to achieve that task with critical success. Using case studies from a broad range of films--including the classic, campy, slasher, or prestige--and placing them within their historical context, this work extends conversations about horror and mental illness, such as post-partum depression, bulimia, Munchausen by proxy syndrome, and others. Highlighting the trope of the mentally ill mother as a pervasive image within the genre furthers examination of how these films challenge or reflect existing stereotypes and illustrates how horror can be both a site of oppression and a source for positive transformation.
