Horror is a universally popular, pervasive TV genre, with shows
like True Blood, Being Human, The Walking Dead and American Horror
Story making a bloody splash across our television screens. This
complete, utterly accessible, sometimes scary new book is the
definitive work on TV horror. It shows how this most adaptable of
genres has continued to be a part of the broadcast landscape,
unsettling audiences and pushing the boundaries of
acceptability.The authors demonstrate how TV Horror continues to
provoke and terrify audiences by bringing the monstrous and the
supernatural into the home, whether through adaptations of Stephen
King and classic horror novels, or by reworking the gothic and
surrealism in Twin Peaks and Carnivale. They uncover horror in
mainstream television from procedural dramas to children's
television and, through close analysis of landmark TV auteurs
including Rod Serling, Nigel Kneale, Dan Curtis and Stephen Moffat,
together with case studies of such shows as Dark Shadows, Dexter,
Pushing Daisies, Torchwood, and Supernatural, they explore its
evolution on television. This book is a must-have for those
studying TV Genre as well as for anyone with a taste for the
gruesome and the macabre.
