Om denne bog

In sharp contrast to many 1960s science fiction films, with idealized views of space exploration, Ridley Scott''s Alien (1979) terrified audiences, depicting a harrowing and doomed deep-space mission. The Alien films launched a new generation of horror set in the great unknown, inspiring filmmakers to take Earth-bound franchises like Leprechaun and Friday the 13th into space.

This collection of new essays examines the space horror subgenre, with a focus on such films as Paul W.S. Anderson''s Event Horizon, Duncan Jones'' Moon, Mario Bava''s Planet of the Vampires and John Carpenter''s Ghosts of Mars.

Contributors discuss how filmmakers explored the concepts of the final girl/survivor, the uncanny valley, the isolationism of space travel, religion and supernatural phenomena.
