Nightmare fuel : the science of horror films / Nina Nesseth. by Nesseth, Nina. Nightfire, 2022. Call #: 791.436164 N464n Subjects Horror films -- Psychological aspects.   Horror films -- History and criticism.   Motion picture audiences -- Psychology.   Fear in motion pictures. ISBN:  9781250765215 (hc.) Alternate title:  Science of horror films Edition:  1st ed. Description:  294 p. : ill. ; 22 cm. Notes:  "A Tom Doherty Associates book." Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and filmography. Summary:  "Nina Nesseth [a science communicator and writer based in Sudbury, Ontario] knows what scares you. She also knows why. In 'Nightmare Fuel,' Nesseth explores the strange and often unexpected science of fear through the lenses of psychology and physiology. How do horror films get under our skin? What about them keeps us up at night, even days later? And why do we keep coming back for more? Horror films promise an experience: fear. From monsters that hide in plain sight to tension-building scores, every aspect of a horror film is crafted to make your skin crawl. But how exactly do filmmakers pull this off? The truth is, there's more to it than just loud noises and creepy images. With the affection of a true horror fan and the critical analysis of a scientist, Nesseth explains how audiences engage horror with both their brains and bodies, and teases apart the elements that make horror films tick. 'Nightime Fuel' covers everything from jump scares to creature features, serial killers to the undead, and the fears that stick around to those that fade over time. With in-depth discussions and spotlight features of some of horror’s most popular films -- from classics like 'The Exorcist' to modern hits like 'Hereditary' -- and interviews with directors, film editors, composers, and horror academics, 'Nightmare Fuel' is a deep dive into the science of fear, a celebration of the genre, and a survival guide for going to bed after the credits roll.'--Jacket.
