Assignment:

As explained in the FS 101 Online Presentations, many film scholars have argued that horror films often contain profound political ramifications as well as some insights into the material world.

Secondly, how do films like Get Out and/or Don't Worry Darling pay homage to The Stepford Wives?

In your response, please analyze at least ONE key example or scene in The Stepford Wives that best exemplifies this notion and contextualize your ideas by engaging with at least ONE key point addressed in ONE of the following essays:
