American Horror Story, Insidious and The Conjuring are examples of a filmic tendency to address a series of topics and themes so vast that at first glance each taken separately would seem to suffice for individual films or shows. This book explores this trend in its visible connections with American Horror, but also with cultural and artistic movements from outside the US, namely Baroque art and architecture, Asian Horror, and European Horror. It analyzes how these hybrid products are constructed and discusses the socio-political issues that they raise. The repeated and excessive barrage of images, tropes and scenarios from distinct subgenres of iconic horror films come together to make up an aesthetic that is referred to in this book as Baroque Horror. In many ways similar to the reactions provoked by the artistic movement of the same name that flourished in the XVII century, these productions induce shock, awe, fear, and surprise. Eljaiek-Rodríguez details how American directors and filmmakers construct these narratives using different and sometimes disparate elements that come together to function as a whole, terrifying the audience through their frenetic accumulation of images, tropes and plot twists. The book also addresses some of the effects that these complex films and series have produced both in the panorama of contemporary horror, as well as in how we understand politics in a divisive world that pushes for ideological homogenizations. Gabriel Eljaiek-Rodríguez is a Colombian writer and academic. He teaches at Spelman College in Atlanta, USA, and has written extensively on the Latin American Gothic, Horror cinema, and cultural migration. He has published Selva de fantasmas: El gótico en la literatura y el cine latinoamericanos (2017); The Migration and Politics of Monsters in Latin American Cinema (Palgrave Macmillan, 2018), and Colombian Gothic in Cinema and Literature (2021). 606 $aMotion pictures, American 606 $aFilm genres 606 $aAmerican Film and TV 606 $aGenre Studies 615 0$aMotion pictures, American. 615 0$aFilm genres. 615 14$aAmerican Film and TV. 615 24$aGenre Studies. 676 $a791.436164 676 $a791.4361640973 700 $aEljaiek-Rodri?guez$b Gabriel$0952954 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910512187003321 996 $aBaroque aesthetics in contemporary American horror$92908783 997 $aUNINA
