From haunted houses to sandy beaches, The Nightmares of Presence explores the role of setting in inspiring fear and wonder through audiovisual media. With an emphasis on horror and the Gothic, this book takes case studies from Spain to propose new approaches to the spaces and places of fear and fantasy. With the primary aim of marrying the spatial turn in cultural and film studies with genre study of horror and Gothic film, Professor Ann Davies explores how different landscapes, spaces and places enable the subject to interact with the terrors they encounter and confront. Case studies include internationally renowned films, lesser known films which have not received distribution beyond Spain, and films made both in Spanish and English, including The Devil's Backbone (Guillermo del Toro), [.REC ](Jaume Balaguero), Insensibles (Painless, Juan Carlos Medina), Quien puede matar a un nino? (Who Can Kill A Child?, Narciso Ibanez Serrador), Los cronocrimenes (Time Crimes, Nacho Vigalondo), and El dia de la bestia (The Day of the Beast), among others.
