Monstrous Adaptations: Generic and Thematic Mutations in Horror Film

Monstrous Adaptations: Generic and Thematic Mutations in Horror Film

Guy Crucianelli
3.5/5 ( ratings)
The fifteen groundbreaking essays contained in this book address the concept of adaptation in relation to horror cinema. Adaptation is not only a key cultural practice and strategy for filmmakers, but it is also a theme of major importance within horror cinema as a whole. Horror film's history is full of adaptations that have drawn from fiction or folklore, or that have assumed the shape of remakes of pre-existing films. The horror genre itself however, also abounds with its own myriad transformations and transmutations.
