The Horror genre has become one of the most popular genres of TV drama with the global success and fandom surrounding The Walking Dead, Supernatural and Stranger Things. Horror has always had a truly international reach, and nowhere is this more apparent than on television as explored in this provocative new collection looking at series from across the globe, and considering how Horror manifests in different cultural and broadcast/streaming contexts. Bringing together established scholars and new voices in the field, Global TV Horror examines historical and contemporary TV Horror from Australia, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, France, Iran, Japan, Spain, New Zealand, USA and the UK. It expands the discussion of TV Horror by offering fresh perspectives, examining new shows, and excavating new cultural histories, to render what has become so familiar – Horror on television – unfamiliar yet again.Acknowledgments Stacey Abbott and Lorna Jowett - Taking Over the Whole World: Global TV Horror, Then and Now NATIONAL CONTEXTSSimon Bacon - ‘Real’ Iranian Vampires: Television versus the Big Screen Mark Fryers - ‘It’s not ghosts, it’s history’: The Sonic Tradition of British Horror Television Rebecca Janicker - Terror Australis: The Wilderness Myth in TV’s Wolf Creek Fernando Pagnoni Berns - Stories to Make You Think: The Horror of Daily Life under Francisco Franco’s Regime in Historias para No Dormir Laura Cánepa, Leandro Caraça and Lúcio Reis-Filho - Sleep, little baby.
