Posted on by

Shudder has unveiled the official trailer for 1000 Women in Horror, an evocative new documentary that shines a long-overdue spotlight on the female architects of fear. Based on the acclaimed book by Alexandra Heller-Nicholas and directed by veteran genre filmmaker Donna Davies (Fanarchy), the film traces a lineage of innovation dating back to 1895. Following its successful festival run, including premieres at the Melbourne and Brooklyn Horror Film Festivals, the documentary is finally set to make its streaming debut on Shudder this March.

Produced by Davies alongside Giles Edwards and Nicola Goelzhaeuser, the project serves as both a historical record and a celebration of the creators who revolutionised the genre. Through insightful interviews with icons and modern visionaries like Akela Cooper, Mary Harron, and Kate Siegel, 1000 Women in Horror offers a comprehensive look at the directors, actors, and writers who shaped horror’s DNA. It is a vital piece of film history that ensures the contributions of these pioneers are no longer relegated to the shadows.
