What about Freaks? Would that qualify? --LV ^{(Dark Mark)} 03:19, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

I don't really know. The "transformation" element is nearly as strong in Freaks as it is in say the Fly, but the lady does wind up as the Feathered Hen at the end. It's your call, I guess. -Adam Atom

I think that Freaks has similar scares in it, and it could certainly be called a forebear, but it's pretty different from what other movies have been described as body horror. I'd say no. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of people interested in this little page, but while on the topic of what movies oughta' go here, what do people think of Brain Damage? (Headless Gunfighter)

If the list has alien-in-disguise, taking-over-body films like The Thing, what about something like The Astronaut's Wife? 68.35.129.180 23:44, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sources?

This article needs to cite sources, otherwise it looks like Original research (see WP:NOR). What literature actually uses the term "body horror" and what literature cites the movies listed herein as being part of this alleged genre? 23skidoo 01:19, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
