Reappraising Cult Horror Films

"Reappraising Cult Horror Films identities key cult horror films from around the world and reappraises them by approaching and interrogating them in new ways. The contributors look beyond their selected horror film's cult movie status to critically analyze, assess and pass comment on previously overlooked aspects through myriad theoretical and analytical approaches. Covering cult horror classics such as The Shining and Plan 9 From Outer Space to more obscure films like Killer Klowns from Outer Space and Dream Home, Broughton curates an international selection of case studies to show the prevalence of the cult horror subgenre"--
