Theology and Wes Craven explores the religious themes in the
movies, television shows, and other works of the man who redefined
the horror genre with such landmark and notorious films as The Last
House on the Left (1972), The Hills Have Eyes (1977), A Nightmare
on Elm Street (1984), The Serpent and the Rainbow (1988), The
People Under the Stairs (1991), and Scream (1996). This volume
provides a retrospective for his entire career, and then spotlights
his most theologically intriguing works in chapters devoted to
revealing Craven's narrative intent. This collection brings
together established scholars and new emergent voices in academia,
including feminist and LGBTQ+ perspectives, who explore Craven's
vision in relation to contemporary political, social, and economic
issues, especially as they related to children, visible minorities,
the excluded, and the disenfranchised. This volume is sure to be
appreciated both by academics and horror enthusiasts everywhere.
