The successful return of horror to our television screens in the
post-millennial years, and across a multi-media range of platforms,
demonstrates that this previously moribund genre is once again
vibrant, challenging and long-lasting. The traditional TV audience
of the past would have watched very few horror TV shows, because
not many were made. But that has changed. Programme makers have
tapped into their public's insatiable need - in these days of
terrorism, violence and mayhem - to provide programmes that have
high production values, engaging storylines, and plenty of frights
and gore. Horror TV offers a safety-valve for its audience, one
that enables them to enter into it from the safety of their
armchairs. The era of instant access, streaming, downloading and
binge-watching whole seasons over a weekend, where fandom has
blossomed into a cultural force, clearly shows horror as a vital
part of today's TV scheduling. This edited collection investigates
the rising popularity of horror-television through deconstructing
the gender roles within them via series of case studies including
such programmes as Hannibal, American Horror Story, The Walking
Dead, Penny Dreadful, Supernatural, The Exorcist and Bates Motel.
By using a series of case studies and employing theoretical modes
of close analysis, each chapter demonstrates how and why these TV
shows are important in reflecting the changing gender roles within
modern society.
