Wheeler Winston Dixon
Wheeler Winston Dixon was born on March 12, 1950 is a notable American filmmaker and scholar. He is regarded as an expert on film history, theory and criticism
Some of the things that Wheeler use, "Women and men in horror films are sights of activity" This tells us that they are more situations rather than characters.He says people no longer want to watch old films like Dracula and frankenstein, they now prefer to see more violent deaths and cruelty we know this because it he says "We can hear the mutterings of the desires for a return of terror"
The destruction of the body in the horror film of the 1990's is the act that cleanses the body of disease, removes it from the realm of death through erasure.

Her philosophy is that in horror films "the first and central aim of horror cinema is to play to masochistic fears and desires". this means how she is describing that the audience enjoy watching people having pain inflicted on them. She describes how the 'final girl' is the survivor and therefore the audience experience the full force of her terrors. "The horrified gaze of the victim" describes how she describes the look of the victimizer, which helps the audience to discover the mystery in horror and makes the viewer identify with the victim and experience the pleasures of her pain.
