Annual video revenues have exceeded box office returns for over twenty-five years. In short, video has become the structuring discourse of US movie culture. Killer Tapes and Shattered Screens examines how prerecorded video reframes the premises and promises of motion picture spectatorship. But instead of offering a history of video technology or reception, Caetlin Benson-Allott analyzes how the movies themselves understand and represent the symbiosis of platform and spectator. Through case studies and close readings that blend industry history with apparatus theory, psychoanalysis with platform studies, and production history with postmodern philosophy, Killer Tapes and Shattered Screens unearths a genealogy of post-cinematic spectatorship in horror movies, thrillers, and other exploitation genres. From Night of the Living Dead (1968) through Paranormal Activity (2009), these movies pursue their spectator from one platform to another, adapting to suit new exhibition norms and cultural concerns in the evolution of the video subject. 606 $aCinematography$xTechnological innovations 606 $aDigital video$xProduction and direction$xData processing 606 $aHorror films$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMotion picture audiences 606 $aTechnology in motion pictures 606 $aVideo recordings industry 606 $aVideo recordings$xProduction and direction$xData processing 615 0$aCinematography$xTechnological innovations. 615 0$aDigital video$xProduction and direction$xData processing. 615 0$aHorror films$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMotion picture audiences. 615 0$aTechnology in motion pictures. 615 0$aVideo recordings industry. 615 0$aVideo recordings$xProduction and direction$xData processing. 676 $a791.43/656 700 $aBenson-Allott$b Caetlin Anne$01718201 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826753503321 996 $aKiller tapes and shattered screens$94114990 997 $aUNINA
