Paperback. The horror genre is continually being reinvented as societal fears evolve. As technology has developed and become ubiquitous in modern life, horror films have effectively played upon our increasing reliance on technology as a source of anxiety. Focusing on advancements from the advent of electricity to the Internet, this book explores how technology--ostensibly humanity's means of conquering fear and the unknown--has become a compelling and abundant source of dread in horror films. The allure of the horror film is varied. Some prefer the voyeurism of watching others suffer. Some enjoy the cinematic depiction of gore. Still, others are tempted by the psychological torment of watching others in danger. The Spark of Fear explores all of these elements through one unifying element: the rise of technology in the modern world.
