Hardy is closer to the specifically filmic nature of desire for Steele when he precedes his fetish comment by claiming “her mere presence suffices to trigger the perverse but fundamental and pleasurable fantasies that form the raw material of the horror genre itself” (9).
Steele's flesh is not material in that we can reach out and take her body as real, but it is material in that we enter into an affected and actual intensification and libidinal 'turning' with and inextricable from the images.
Steele's drama of totalisation as the fetish object for male fans of Italian horror is, worse than being burnt at the stake or donned with her mask, the real tragedy of her destiny.
