These larger social forces not only create the context for our cinematic horrors, but serve as connective tissue between fantasy and lived reality, as well. While several of the essays focus on “name” horror films such as IT, Get Out, Hellraiser, and Don’t Breathe, the collection also features essays focused on horror films produced in Asia, Europe, and Latin America, and on American classic thrillers such as Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho. Key social issues addressed include the war on terror, poverty, the housing crisis, and the Time’s Up movement. The volume grounds its analysis in the films, rather than theory, in order to explore the ways in which institutions, identities, and ideologies work within the horror genre.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 231mmItem Length: 160mmContributor: Jacqueline Morrill (Contributions by), Katherine Lizza (Contributions by), Russell Meeuf (Contributions by), Fernando Gabriel Pagnoni Berns (Contributions by), Benjamin James (Contributions by), Emiliano Aguilar (Contributions by), Juan Juvé (Contributions by), Allyson Marino (Contributions by), Alissa Burger (Contributions by), Cynthia J.
