These larger social forces not only create the context for our cinematic horrors, but serve as connective tissue between fantasy and lived reality, as well. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile several of the essays focus on \"name\" horror films such as IT, Get Out, Hellraiser, and Don't Breathe, the collection also features essays focused on horror films produced in Asia, Europe, and Latin America, and on American classic thrillers such as Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. Key social issues addressed include the war on terror, poverty, the housing crisis, and the Time's Up movement. The volume grounds its analysis in the films, rather than theory, in order to explore the ways in which institutions, identities, and ideologies work within the horror genre.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCynthia J.
