Abstract

This chapter chapter synthesises research connecting broadly felt social trauma to horror cinema content, shifts in the popularity of certain subtypes of horror to changes in the business of filmmaking and the continual appeal of stock horror antagonists to humans’ evolved psychology, arguing that their integrated framework can comprehensively account for the popularity of the franchise while historicising its significance.
