Footnote #36 - Horror Cinema (with Stacey Abbott)
Manage episode 381338806 series 2426554
What is horror cinema, and where did it come from? What are its unsettling spectatorial effects and uncomfortable provocations? What codes and conventions define its big screen history, and at which points does it splinter into slasher sub-genres and monstrous cycles? What role does the gothic and supernatural play in its generic construction? And how does the body as both threat and as threatened play into horror’s fascination with the impacts of difference and otherness? Answers to all these questions and more feature in this spooky Footnote episode on Horror Cinema with special guest Professor Stacey Abbott, incoming Professor of Film at Northumbria University and an expert in histories of gothic and horror in film and television.
**Fantasy/Animation theme tune composed by Francisca Araujo**
