While Indigenous peoples continue to struggle against colonization, white settler narratives consistently position them as a threat, depicting the Indigenous Other as an ever-present menace, lurking on the fringes of \"civilized\" society. Indigenous inclusion or exclusion in horror films tells a larger story about myths, fears, and anxieties that have endured for centuries. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBloodied Bodies, Bloody Landscapes \u003c\/i\u003etraces connections between Indigenous representations, gender, and sexuality within iconic horror classics like \u003ci\u003eThe Texas Chainsaw Massacre \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eFriday the 13th. \u003c\/i\u003eThe savage killer, the romantic and doomed Indian, the feral \"mad woman\"--no trope or archetype escapes the shadowy influence of settler colonialism.
