1. Gender and sexuality in Colderidge's "Christabel" and Le Fanu's "Carmilla."

2. Gender and sexuality in the writings of Suzie McKee Charnas (children's books, Vampire Tapestry, "Beast's Embrace" etc.

3. The Other as love/sex object.

4. Vampires/werewolves as the "first" transexuals- gender becomes less important, or at least more permissible, when you are crossing species, or life and death.

5. The 50s movies, ie Wasp Woman are a fertile ground for horror/gender
intersections.
