		When classifying genre, especially a genre as wide-ranging as horror, it is necessary to strike a balance between flexibility and prescription since genre is, in Andrew Tudor's words, `a social construction and as such is subject to constant negotiation and re-formulation' [2].
		Art--dread, however, does not cover the films in the psyche category which, in the main, remain on the margins of Carroll's art--horror, the degree of marginality or exclusion depending on the extent to which the demonic is invoked in tandem with psychosis.
		In its very nature, these films suppose, the psyche nurtures the seeds of its own destruction, and the contingent corruption occasioned by a desire for knowledge, ambition and progress; horror movie psychosis is deep- rooted human malevolence made manifest [14].

	Horror film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The horror film is often associated with low budgets and exploitation, but major studios and well-respected directors have made intermittent forays into the genre.
		The Canadian film Cube (1997) was perhaps one of the few horror films of the 1990s to be based around a relatively novel concept; it was able to evoke a wide range of different fears, and touched upon a variety of social themes (such as fear of bureaucracy) that had previously been unexplored.
		Other advances in horror were in Japanese animation (for example the gruesome 'guro' animation), as Japanese culture reached new heights of popularity in the West (although the first horror-themed anime had begun appearing in the West by the late 1980s).

	Horror Films
		Horror films are often combined with science fiction when the menace or monster is related to a corruption of technology, or when Earth is threatened by aliens.
		The fantasy and supernatural film genres are not synonymous with the horror genre, although thriller films may have some relation when they focus on the revolting and horrible acts of the killer/madman.
		Horror films, when done well and with less reliance on horrifying special effects, can be extremely potent film forms, tapping into our dream states and the horror of the irrational and unknown, and the horror within man himself.

	Hammer Film Productions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The film was an unexpectedly big hit, and led to an almost equally popular 1957 sequel Quatermass 2 — again adapted from one of Kneale's television scripts, this time by Kneale himself and with a budget double that of the original: £92,000.
		The commercial failure of this film led to another change of style with the latter two films, which were not period pieces like their predecessors, but had a then-contemporary 1970s London setting.
		In the latter part of the 1970s, Hammer made fewer films, and attempts were made to break away from the then-unfashionable Gothic horror films on which the studio had built its reputation.

	Introduction - Psychoanalysis in/and/of the Horror Film
		These efforts have typically taken the form of either interpretive analysis (of a particular film, subgenre, or the genre as a whole) or depth-psychological explanation (of the symbolic/mythic import of horror film monsters; of the horror affect and how it is generated; of the possibly perverse pleasures viewers obtain from being frightened by visible fictions).
		Most psychoanalytic horror film theorists to date have not proven very open to revising their particular accounts as a result of critical engagement with the work of others operating even from within the psychoanalytic paradigm.
		As a form of modern defilement rite, the horror film attempts to separate out the symbolic order from all that threatens its stability, particularly the mother and all that her universe signifies.

	The Wickerman: Horror Film based on Ancient Celtic Fertility Rite (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Few people realize, however, that the film's plot was based on an ancient fertility rite that takes place during the Beltane (May) festival of the old Celtic Calendar.
		Although The Wicker Man has been described by those who've seen it as a campy, low budget, B-grade horror film, it is nonetheless very accurate in terms of the Beltane fertility rituals it portrays.
		And thirty years after its release, the Wicker Man is still one of the most sought-after horror films of its kind.

		Robert Hood, the widely published horror-fantasy author and writer of several articles on the horror and zombie film genres, believes there might be both cerebral and practical reasons for this.
		The MIFF judges said the award was "for daring to be everything that Australian films are not supposed to be: part of a popular, disreputable genre".
		Robert Hood says one of the themes dealt with in zombie films is the issue of mortality, a theme he refers to as the "de-hexing of mortality", where "filmic existence of these living dead also allows us to fight back at death, in our imaginations at least".
