About the Author :
Kendall R. Phillips is Professor of Communication and Rhetorical Studies at Syracuse University, USA, where he teaches courses on rhetoric, popular culture, and public memory.

Review :
With the addition of The Blair Witch Project, Saw, and Get Out, Phillips extends his excellent analysis of the rhetoric of horror film to present day horror and makes this book even more essential for teachers, researchers, and lovers of horror at any level. Kendall Philips’s Projected Fears is a keenly argued exegesis of American horror films and the cultural contexts from which they emerge. This new edition, which includes two new chapters – on Saw and Get Out respectively – and a new introduction assessing the place of horror films within contemporary academic discourse, will – like the first – make an excellent teaching resource and generate much debate within and beyond Horror Studies. Projected Fears is an indispensable resource for anyone interested in understanding the relationship between culture and horror. Phillips’s theory of popular horror films as “resonant violations” is foundational for understanding how these movies jolt viewers into new ways of thinking about their social and political contexts. This second edition provides additional insight into horror cinema’s growing popularity and status as a subject of academic inquiry. The two new chapters on the movies Saw and Get Out help to make this book an easy choice for use in undergraduate rhetoric, film, and media studies classes.
