Description

Steven Jay Schneider explores the intersection of psychoanalytic thought and horror cinema in this collection of essays. By examining the legitimacy, utility, and validity of psychoanalysis as a critical tool for analyzing the horror genre, Schneider sheds new light on the subject.

The book distinguishes itself from previous work by its self-aware approach to applying psychoanalytic concepts to specific horror films and subgenres. This nuanced theorization provides a fresh perspective on the relationship between psychoanalysis and cinema.

With 320 pages of insightful analysis, this volume is an essential resource for scholars and film enthusiasts interested in the intersection of psychology and popular culture.
