i recall barbara creed's book monstrous feminine - but am not sure it will help with this.

i think andrew tudor's book monsters and mad scientists also does a historical read of horror films though not especially female.

i wonder if high tension would fit? it has a definite feminist/lesbian chic going for it.

i also recall a fairly good argument about sydney in scream in the book projected fears.

there is also a good reader on feminism and horror called the dread of difference (though specifics related to your thesis don't come to mind).

i wonder about the first hostel and even saw as an example of horror taken out of the 'female victim' mentality - perhaps a way of extending your analysis.

good luck (i didn't even know you were in school)
