Abstract

CUELLAR BARONA, Margarita. La figura del monstruo en el cine de horror. CS [online]. 2008, n.2, pp.227-246. ISSN 2011-0324.  https://doi.org/10.18046/recs.i2.419.

Horror films have approached the idea of the ''other'' through the figure of the monster, something or somebody that comes from unknown realms in order to generate fears and anxieties that ''otherness'' produces in the established order. In this article, the author explores the changes that this cinematographic recreation of ''otherness'' has experienced though time, and explains how in the past it usually came from unknown dimensions and now it shows aspects of our ''normal'' world.
