Women in the horror genre are an attraction for readers in the world. In addition to the storyline, another thing that attracts attention is the suspenseful scenes that are able to leave an impression on the hearts of the viewers. The purpose of this research is to analyze the recurrence of things related to women present in horror stories in Java and explore the meaning behind this phenomenon with the study of Vladimir Propp’s narrative structure. The object of this research is horror stories in Java. Data collection was carried out by studying documents on 10 horror stories in Java that have been published in the mass media. Data analysis was carried out using the Miles and Huberman model through three stages, namely (1) data reduction; Identify the structure of the story related to the function. After the recurrence is found, the meaning is carried out, (2) the presentation of data in the form of tables, and (3) the drawing of conclusions. The findings of this study show that there is a recurrence of female characters as the main character, a family member leaves home, a character enters the supernatural realm or meets supernatural creatures, a criminal troubles or injures one of the family members, the presence of a friend or family figure, the presence of a witch doctor or pesugihan, a family member lacks something or wants to get something, the character gets a magic tool, and the character is saved. This can be interpreted as a reversal of patriarchal understanding. Female characters in horror stories are described as good, strong, brave and curious about sacred places.
