From Jack the Ripper to Frankenstein, Halloween customs to
Alexander McQueen collections, Fashioning Horror examines how
terror is fashioned visually, symbolically, and materially through
fashion and costume, in literature, film, and real life. With a
series of case studies that range from sensationalist cinema and
Slasher films to true crime and nineteenth-century literature, the
volume investigates the central importance of clothing to the
horror genre, and broadens our understanding of both material and
popular culture. Arguing that dress is fundamental to our
understanding of character and setting within horror, the chapters
also reveal how the grotesque and horrific is at the center of
fashion itself, with its potential for instability, disguise, and
carnivalesque subversion. Packed with original research, and
bringing together a range of international scholars, the book is
the first to thoroughly examine the aesthetics of terror and the
role of fashion in the construction of horror.
