Overview

This anthology explores the resilience and ubiquity of the Gothic in cinema from its earliest days to its most contemporary iterations. Fifteen newly commissioned chapters by prominent scholars in the field of Gothic and cinema studies examine the myriad ways that filmmakers mobilise Gothic conceits across multiple film genres and in conjunction with several significant film styles. In the process, the book contributes exciting new readings of canonical works of Gothic cinema as well as important new critical examinations of emerging horror subgenres.

Hand and McRoy's Gothic Film is a valuable contribution that covers an extremely ecletic range of films and the equally diverse body of scholarship about them. It not only manages to achieve this mammoth task but it does so while offering new ideas and insights in the process. This is a must-read volume for both those who are new to and those who are familiar with the topic. Terrifyingly good! Terrifyingly good!--Mark Jancovich, University of East Anglia
